Instrumental Autonomy, Political Socialization, and Citizenship Identity

This book offers essential insights into Chinese Korean minority youth citizenship identity development during their high school and university education period out of their political socialization experience. It investigates how they develop their citizenship identity with the state through bilingual education and media exposure, as an outcome of the entangled relationship between state power and economic globalization.

The book demonstrates to readers how to apply the abstract conceptual framework of identity politics and ideology construction, nurtured by both civil culture and political evolvement, to a specific case with operationalized measurement extracted from political socialization concepts so as to understand and rationalize identity development. This approach offers both an in-depth way to penetrate further in the discourse construction that shapes identity politics and an innovative means of measuring and explaining relevant relationships.

Highlights the characteristics of an education-oriented political socialization process applied to Chinese minorities by the state in order to shape their identities, with the unique and outstanding bilingual development of Korean minority youth along the prosperous development of both China and Korean Diasporas Discusses the ideological and human rights aspects of the identity politics dynamic, by focusing on the citizenship socialization of a Chinese minority under the state-centered implementation process and Minority Regional Autonomy policy Introduces and emphasizes the possibility of creating a linkage between abstract arguments on identity politics and human rights and the operationalized measurement of specific political socialization outcomes Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
