Abstract
It is widely predicted that East Asia's conservative governments will lose political power for managing socioeconomic crises under neoliberal globalization and find no way out of their legitimacy problem. However, Korea's and Japan's conservative governments have recently constructed a new model of crisis management - compassionate paternalism - in a highly discretionary manner.
