Score Analysis
Analysis of South Korea's policy signalling profile
South Korea's current composite score of 60 places it in the 91.4th percentile globally, ranking #15 out of 186 countries. This indicates a high level of policy signalling intensity relative to other nations. Despite dimension scores averaging around 60, which reflects moderate to high signalling across various areas, the overall score is maintained by consistent policies across all dimensions. South Korea has seen a steady implementation of policies that align with the criteria for Western-style progressive policies, particularly in areas such as education curriculum and corporate DEI. However, the lack of recent events affecting these dimensions suggests a stable, rather than rapidly expanding, policy environment.
In terms of dimension-specific signalling intensity, South Korea exhibits a relatively even distribution across categories like Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Media & Platform Moderation, all scoring around 59.96. Notably, Education & Curriculum Signalling and Corporate/Investor Signalling are slightly higher at 60.11, indicating a slightly more intense focus in these areas. The scores reflect a balanced approach to policy signalling without significant fluctuations or outliers in any particular dimension. This suggests a consistent but not overly aggressive approach to implementing Western-style progressive policies across different sectors.
