Doh Chull Shin holds the Korea Foundation chair of political science at the University of Missouri, and is the founder of the Korea Barometer project and a co-founder of the Asian Barometer project. For the past two decades, he has conducted comparative research on the democratization of authoritarian politics and cultures in East Asia and other regions. He has also engaged in public opinion research on the quality of life in East Asia. As a visiting scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington DC, he is currently preparing a book manuscript examining how Confucianism affects the process of democratization in East Asia. In addition, he is collaborating with five other leading scholars on a book project reevaluating the Almond-Verba civic culture model with the World Value surveys and other regional barometers.
