摘要註
International relations theory tends to treat the state as a black box; a state is a rational actor and regardless of the domestic politics, it will make the rational choice. This is a convenient choice that helps to create grand theories, but intentionally provide little insight for policy. States have a vested interest in knowing all the factors that affect relationships. While there is research into how different regime types work together, it is often limited to two democracies or two autocracies. States changing their regime types is a very under-researched area. If democracies do work better together, then a democratic state has an interest in encouraging democratization for a better bilateral relationship. However, if autocracies work better together or a mixed-relationship, then states might not wish to encourage regime changes. These possible conclusions, of course, are hypothetical. Firstly, it must be assessed if regime type has any effect on these relationships. This thesis examines how the change from autocracy to democracy affected South Korea’s and the Philippines’ relationships with each other and with Japan. Two of the relationships improve when both states are democracies, while one declines. Thus, while regime type does have an effect on a bilateral relationship, this thesis does not prescribe an ideal regime type(s) for the best relationship.
