This article provides the first systematic account of the political orientations of women in the South Korean mass public. Drawing on data from the 1992 Korean Election Study, it is shown that Korean women are relatively more conservative ideologically, less interested in politics, more deferential in political discussions, more regime supportive, and less change oriented than men with respect to some aspects of public policy. Although other factors are involved, these differences are explained, in large part, by education. Education dominates social class, income, and other modernizing influences in this regard. As higher levels of education are reflected throughout the age distribution of women, more participatory and regime-critical orientations should become apparent.

Examines the political orientation of women in relation to that of men, and relates their political attitudes to their level of education; based on interviews, Mar. 1992; South Korea.

Adopting an informal game-theoretic approach, the authors offer a systematic but necessarily schematic explanation of conflict and cooperation between government and opposition in the Korean polity from Liberation to the presidential election of 1992 and assess their consequences for democratic development.
