This article seeks to explain Korea’s economic institutional change from a developmental regime to a more liberal order from the perspective of constructivist political economy. While external pressures make institutional change necessary or desirable, ideas make it possible to establish an institutional resolution by enabling actors to perceive what is to be done as well as what constitutes the external environments. Without these ideas, it is cognitively impossible to construct a new institutional order. In this regard, this article explains Korea’s institutional change in terms of interactions between exogenous pressures and endogenous ideas. Korea’s economic institutional change can be conceptualized as a three-stage process from a developmental regime to a deregulatory liberal order and then to a regulatory liberal one. This three-stage process of Korea’s economic institutional change has largely resulted from interactions between external or structural pressures and internal ideational change.

The purpose of this paper is to understand loyalty in the multichannel retail in the China market. We analyze the interaction between offline and online loyalty and the direct effects on loyalty of brand trust and brand attachment. Structural equation model multigroup analysis is performed to test the hypotheses. Online loyalty is largely driven by offline loyalty, and offline loyalty is positively affected by brand trust and brand attachment. The findings confirm multichannel retailers should focus on building brand trust and brand attachment, if they want to get offline loyalty. Stronger bonds between the customer and the retail brand translate into higher loyalty, particularly toward the offline channels, and then higher offline loyalty translate into higher online loyalty.

This study examined the effects of music therapy interventions to establish evidence- based practice for students with disabilities. The study employed a meta-analysis, which allows not only to synthesize the effect sizes of accumulated data but also to draw substantive implications for the research field. A total of 23 studies with 118 effect sizes were analyzed by using HLM with a two-level model. The results demonstrate very large effects of music therapy interventions on students with disabilities (overall ES = 1.072). These promising results were consistently observed across all variables, with no significance except grade level and music therapy type. The study quantitatively examined music therapy for students with disabilities to facilitate provision of evidence-based practice through a related service in the field of special education in South Korea. Limitations of this study and implications for further research are also discussed.
