This study aims to understand the factors and dynamics that influenced a major social policy change. This is undertaken by unravelling the policymaking processes involved in the largest public pension scheme in Korea, the National Pension System (NPS). Changes to the NPS followed a very different direction to other expansionary welfare developments either in Korea or in similar East Asian welfare systems. This research set out to explain how and why this happened. This is examined via a case study approach with a particular focus on the role of policy actors. This provides an analysis of this single policy change across three time periods, which are characterised by different political and economic regimes: authoritarian rule; democratisation in the midst of a financial crisis; and finally a democracy in recovery from the financial crisis. Data was gained from 44 interviews with the actual policymakers and major policy actors involved, and was complemented by extensive archival data. The findings suggest that, first, although authoritarian governments in Korea may pursue social policy to harness economic development in order to legitimise their non-democratic rule, subtle yet crucial policy competition can still exist among key policy actors. Second, democratisation does not necessarily lead to a dominant view favouring welfare system expansion. Third, new major policy actors - strengthened by a democratic, centre-left government - may not always favour an expansive welfare system. The analysis suggests that, despite the emergence of an increased range and number of policy actors as the democracy matured, there was a marked continuity in policy development in the case of the NPS. Key policy actors pursued a reform in line with liberal economic policy that had been the dominant tendency during the authoritarian era. This suggests that the major mechanism contributing to this continuity was the role of a persistent and powerful epistemic policy community, members of which continued to influence policymaking throughout its development. The conclusion points to how incremental changes in the pension system led to the path dependency of the original policy ideas. We suggest that future research could apply a similar analytical approach to understanding change processes in various policy domains and to other East Asian welfare systems.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Competition among financial institutions in Korean household savings market (HSM) has become severe. Deposit money banks (DMBs) which have occupied the main prop of the Korean financial system have entered turbulent times mainly due to the relaxation of financial regulations which artificially provide a stabilized market environment, as well as the out-performance of non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs). Also, Korean households are becoming better educated, more sophisticated and richer in line with the increase in wealth of the nation. The market share of DMBs in HSM has gradually declined, but that of NBFIs has continuously increased. Consequently, DMBs are required to do something in the market in order, at least, to survive. As the first step, they should have a clear picture of the external environments which can dictate or affect their operations, along with the full understanding of their internal capabilities. Based on the conditions of external environments and internal capabilities, DMBs have to choose one of the 5Ds (ie. disinvestment, de-escalation, do-nothing, development or diversification) as their strategic direction in the market they serve. However, no matter which strategic direction DMBs choose, they are required to differentiate themselves from their competitors in order to support successfully the implementation of a strategic direction chosen and to achieve competitive advantages in the market they serve. In differentiating themselves from others, DMBs will encounter somewhat different aspects from those firms which produce and sell physical goods mainly due to the characteristics (ie. intangible, inseparable, heterogeneous, perishable and non-owned) of their products. Therefore, DMBs have to use the extended 7Ps in order to overcome the problems caused by the unique characteristics of their products and to differentiate themselves from their competitors effectively in the market. However, the discretion of Korean DMBs to implement the extended 7Ps in the market has been so strictly restricted by the regulation that they can not exercise their full capabilities in the market, and they have a passive attitude towards the implementation of strategies in order to differentiate themselves from others. However, the results of this research - mainly based on the study of the financial systems and regulations of Korea and of households as customers of FIs-HSM, and the surveys for FIs-HSM and Korean households - show the possibility that DMBs can achieve competitive advantages effectively in HSM by differentiating themselves from their competitors, be they other DMBs or NBFIs in HSM. DMBs can freely use some components (ie. promotion, physical environment, personnel as a participant, process) of the 7Ps in the market even though other components (ie. product, price, place) of the 7Ps have strictly restricted use in the market at present. Besides, all components of the 7Ps will be sooner or later free to use for differentiating themselves in the market in accordance with the relaxation of financial regulations. As a conclusion, DMBs have to utilize their capabilities fully in order to achieve competitive advantages in the market and to prepare for future changes in the market by conducting the continuous R&D and market research.

This thesis analyses the development of the Korean welfare system since the 1960s within the institutional dynamics of Korean politics. Its aim is to contribute to the understanding of Korean politics through the analysis of the Korean welfare state. The thesis argues that the making of social policy has been determined primarily by the politics of legitimation, in particular before democratisation. This thesis identifies the confined institutional circle responsible for crucial social policy decisions. In this institutional terrain, the President and his ministers and policy experts have played the dominant roles. The democratisation since 1987 brought about institutional changes and enabled institutions such as the National Assembly to exercise effective power in social policy-making. The political rationale of social policy is deeply embedded in the structure of social policy institutions, especially the way in which the state intervenes in the financing of welfare programmes. In the mix of welfare financing, the regulator type of state intervention emerges as the dominant feature in Korea. This thesis assesses the outcomes of social policy from two perspectives: the perspectives of redistribution and of social rights. Social policy intervention has so far had little redistributive effect mainly due to the immaturity of the welfare system. In terms of social rights, the universality of rights to health care was achieved in a relatively short period of time. Rights to protection against industrial accidents have made good progress in terms of compensation and protection for the last three decades, despite the limited coverage. However, the quality of social rights that have so far been implemented is low. In two important respects, the approach of the thesis is characterised by methodological broadness. In the policy analysis, the thesis moves beyond an institutional approach to including also the substantive outcomes of institutional changes. In the analysis of outcomes, the thesis covers both the perspective of redistribution and the perspective of social rights.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This thesis aims to analyse the sport policy process in the Republic of Korea through an examination of the cases of elite sport and sport for all. This study assesses the utility of a number of theoretical frameworks all of which were created either in the North America or Europe. The following macro-level theories are discussed and assessed: Marxism, Elitism and Pluralism. At the meso-level Policy Community (Marsh and Rhodes 1992), Multiple Streams Framework (Kingdon, 1995) and Advocacy Coalition Framework (Sabatier and Jenkin-Smith, 1999) were investigated and their utility in the Korean context was evaluated. Two case studies, elite sport and sport for all, were chosen and qualitative research methods were used in order to gather empirical data. A series of forty three semistructured interviews were undertaken. The first round of interview was conducted between 22nd June 2007 and 11th July 2007 followed by more extensive second round of interviews from 29th November 2007 to 15th June 2008 in Korea. The interviewees included academics, journalists, elite athletes, senior officers in the government and sub-national government, senior officers in national government organisations such as KSC, NACOSA, SOSFO, senior officials in KISS, NGBs, the business sector, the military sector and voluntary organisations such as YMCA. Interview data was supported by extensive analysis of documents including government reports, annual Sport White Papers, newspapers and magazine articles. One of the central findings is that decision-making in relation to high performance (elite) sport policy is dominated by members of the political, business and military elite. High performance sport decision-making is tightly controlled by the government which has been consistently the core actor in Korea's elite sport policy process with there being little evidence of civil society involvement. As regard Sport For All, different levels of government and also non-government organisations were involved in promoting Sport For All. However of particular note is the lack of contact and cooperation between the government and other nongovernment organisations, for example, YMCA in terms of sharing experiences of promoting sport. Despite the involvement of different levels of government and of non-government organisations policy direction and momentum was largely set by the elite level of central government. The analysis reveals that elitism is the most appropriate framework to apply in Korean sport policy at the macro-level. As for the meso-level, none of the three frameworks were considered to be particularly useful although Policy Community appeared to be appropriate in the early stage of the research.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This thesis is a theoretically grounded empirical study aimed at shedding light on the dynamic interactions of universities with government and industry in response to university-industry cooperation policy in South Korea. It questions the loosely-based assumptions found in current literature relating to the role of universities in their engagement in regional innovative development, that universities may engage actively in localised interactive processes. This study uses the concept of RIS (Regional Innovation'System) as a conceptual framework to explore the relationships between theory, practice and policy. The study analysed new university-industry cooperation policy in South Korea that had been implemented after 2003 to promote RIS building. The empirical fieldwork was completed in two administrative regions, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and Daegu City, by the selection of four regional universities. In order to identify the dynamic interactions of universities in response to the policy, this research used a mixed methodology mainly based on qualitative interviews with academics, government officers and firm managers. The Triple Helix Model was adopted to provide an analytical tool to study these responses. Analysis of the empirical study reveals significant findings: first, the regional universities responded positively to the government policy, in terms of outward appearances, but their interactions with government and industry did not develop to the degree of creating new relationships in the triple helix relations; second, therefore, it can be said that it is difficult to co-ordinate universities into the localised interactive processes as a part of regional innovation strategies; and last, it seems that the .' boundaries. for regional innovation system are determined through ongoing dynamic selective processes for maximising the benefits of each organisation.

The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanisms of how feedback from supervisor affects innovative work behavior among local government employees in Korea. Another purpose of this study is to explore the mediating roles of trust in supervisor and affective commitment, and the moderating role of risk-taking climate, using various theories, such as organizational support theory, social exchange theory, intrinsic motivation theory, and psychological climate theory.
The results from a cross-sectional study based on a sample of 1,699 local government employees from 65 local governments find that feedback from supervisor has a significant direct effect on innovative work behavior. Trust in supervisor and affective commitment significantly mediate the relationship between feedback from supervisor and innovative work behavior. Feedback from supervisor has an indirect effect on innovative work behavior through its influence on trust in supervisor and affective commitment in serial. Risk-taking climate significantly moderates the relationship between affective commitment and innovative work behavior. Lastly, the results of moderated mediation model find that the conditional effects are significant at high levels of the moderator (at one standard deviation above the mean) and at the mean, while the conditional effect was not significant at low levels of moderator (at one standard deviation below the mean) for both two indirect effect paths (feedback from supervisor --> affective commitment --> innovative work behavior, and feedback from supervisor --> trust in supervisor --> affective commitment --> innovative work behavior).

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Since the early 1980s the established neoclassical economic interpretation of the role of
government in East Asian industrialisation has been challenged on two fronts. The
first - the new trade theory - purports to show how a country that promotes industries
characterised by external economies of a particular kind can help shift its pattern of
comparative advantage in a manner that can accelerate economic growth. External
economies, it is asserted, are most conspicuous in technology-intensive industries. The
second - the governed market model - contends that the state in East Asia (especially
Taiwan and Korea) anticipated shifts in comparative advantage and intervened
aggressively to develop new export industries.
This study uses quantitative techniques to assess the question of whether industrial
policy interventions were a necessary or major factor explaining Taiwan's
industrialisation during the 1980s. Taiwan's adoption in the early 1980s of a 'strategic
industry policy' focusing on high technology industries provides the focal point to test
the hypotheses presented by the competing explanations. Of particular interest is
whether Taiwan necessarily displays the characteristics presumed to fit the new trade
and governed market model. While most of the analysis focuses on Taiwan, the
Korean experience is drawn upon for additional insights.
The first part of the analysis is directed to measuring the structure of incentives to
Taiwan industry. The incentive structure in the early 1980s is found to be neutral in
the sense that it did not discriminate amongst industrial activities. By the late 1980s
this had changed. However, departures from neutrality are found not to be associated
with industries characterised by increasing export specialisation and by implication
comparative advantage. The second part of the analysis focuses on determining whether there is a relationship
between industry policy interventions and comparative advantage. No distinct
tendency is found for the designated 'strategic industries' to exhibit increasing export
specialisation following the introduction of the strategic industry policy. Indeed, a
number of industries are found to have already possessed relatively strong export
specialisation prior to the introduction of the policy. Cross-sectional regression
analysis is then used to establish the determinants of incentives. Such an approach is
useful because the competing explanations employ the same set of observable industry
structural characteristics but make opposite predictions about their association with
comparative advantage. The empirical results strongly contradict the predictions of the
governed market model and new trade model that the incentive structure was designed
for industries with an increasing comparative advantage. Instead, the incentive
structure during the 1980s is found to have discriminated in favour of industries
characterised by a declining comparative advantage. Some of the strongest results in
support of this conclusion are those indicating a negative association between the
incentive structure and indicators of export growth and technology-intensity.
The issue of whether there is a relationship between the incentive structure and the rate
of growth in total factor productivity is also examined. This is a critical test of the
argument that judicious encouragement of the right 'infant industries' accelerated
growth. Interventions are found not to have had a pronounced impact on the sectoral
evolution of the industrial structure. In raising the question of what generated Taiwan's
industrial growth over this period, it is suggested that the attributes associated with
strong outward-orientation largely explains high productivity growth. This adds
support to similar studies showing a positive relationship between productivity
differentials among industries and export-orientation.

The information technology is grown rapidly and used widely at the era of globalization and knowledge economy, new era of global economy is the trend. When Asia Pacific countries play key roles in global economy, multinational companies are lack of investment interest in Taiwan although Taiwan holds impressive performance in worldwide competitiveness ranking. When multinational companies are lack of interest in Taiwan, Taiwan is hard to get direct investment spillover effect from the outsiders. It resulted that we are vulnerable in the global economy. In order to discover Taiwan’s position in Asia-Pacific region and the possible short-term development strategy , I choose the countries, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea, with similar development process in the past and compare with their infrastructure, tax, labor and policy To determine the difference in these factors, these factors may result our FDI inflow lower than others. In order to identify the main reasons, I took the evaluation or statistical data from the international organizations or government to compare, and found out that Taiwan has the gap with Asia Pacific operations center - Singapore in most aspects. Taiwan only gets some advantages in few aspects. From existing statistical data, I could conclude that Taiwan has to improve in these aspects and could not determine the real reasons why multinational companies have no interest in Taiwan clearly. Therefore, I conduct the quantifiable variables for regression analysis, and the result show that FDI inflow is affected by the total tax rate and the mobile phone user's density impact. Thus, this study is proposed to adjust the tax system in the short term and accelerate the development of information flow in the infrastructure to attract FDI.

This paper shows the important role of government in determining the behavior of firms in emerging markets by focusing on their response to exchange-rate exposure. We measure the foreign exchange-rate exposure of Korean firms and investigate into its determinant factors. Our results show that around 15 percent of the firms have significant exposure and there exists a structural shift of the firms' exposure during our experimental period. In the earlier subperiod, firms tend to have positive exposure while in the later subperiod firms tend to have negative one. Our results also show the significant role of government intervention when Korean firms deal with their exchange-rate exposure. Firms with more government intervention tend to over-invest and care less about their exposure. As a result, firms with more government intervention tend to expose more. Our results also show that chaebol firms usually have lower exposures. It can, at least partly, be attribute to size effect because those firms tend to be large firms. The evidences uncovered in this paper are very different from the existing studies based on developed countries.Yan Hong-jun.

Researches of competitiveness of nations are almost based on the integrated and consistent theory, established by Michael Porter, and mainly by using the diamond model analysis, the five-power analysis, and the SWOT analysis. This article is to analyze the competitiveness of Taiwan and South Korea, and influences of national policies to it, and to compare the differences of the two nations. The results are: 1. The overall advantage of Taiwan is higher than that of South Korea, but each of them has their own advantages in detail. 2. Analyzing the differences of national policies of them, we found that both of them have encouraged export-oriented industries; however, Taiwan, policies of future developments, includes sightseeing and culture innovation, or soft industries, as key industries, and South Korea, on the other hand, does not.

Willis, Jacqueline. "Two states, one nation : the Koreas and the policy/culture nexus." Thesis, 2013. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/544059.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Situating Korea within a ‘one nation, two states’ paradigm, this thesis explores what the ideological, political and cultural divergences separating North and South Korea, reveal about the association between policy and culture. Presenting the two Koreas’ engagement with and perception of the outside world as highly indicative of the cultural ‘divisions’ between them, arguments relating to this theorised association are framed within the context of globalisation policy. Of particular interest are South Korea’s Segyehwa (Koreanisation) policy, forwarded by the Kim young-sam administration (1993-1998), and the North Korean Juche idea. With the former regarding globalisation as a process of possible Koreanisation and the latter as one of inevitable homogenisation, Americanisation and/or imperialism, the diametrically opposed perspectives (and objectives) of Juche and Segyehwa are regarded as suggestive of a broader policy-culture nexus within Korea. In seeking to understand this nexus, this thesis raises questions as to what the globalisation policies of the two Koreas, as well as the history of inter-Korean relations, indicate about the non-physical ‘divisions’ at play on the Korean peninsula. Emphasising the role of regional states China and Japan and superpower the United States, it also gauges the extent to which Juche and Segyehwa are influenced by past and present regional and US-Korea relations. Working to empirically verify the posited association, two cultural artefacts: ‘the museum exhibition’ and ‘music and performance’ are drawn on, with examples from each of the Koreas examined for how reflect an association between the respective policies and cultures of the North and South. In addressing these questions, methodological focus is given primarily to textual analysis, with empirical components pertaining to South Korea, and especially its museums, informed by field research and site visits. It is found not only that North and South Korea are political and cultural ‘polar opposites,’ but that the political and cultural trajectories they now tread have been, and continue to be, very much shaped by regional and US-Korea relations and interactions. Similarly, with Juche and Segyehwa found to manifest in the cultures of North and South Korea respectively, North and South Korean ‘museum exhibitions’ and ‘music and performance’ are deemed strongly demonstrative of a clear association between policy and culture, on the Korean peninsula.

Baek, Chanwoong. "Knowledge Utilization in Education Policymaking in the United States, South Korea, and Norway: A Bibliometric Network Analysis." Thesis, 2020. https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-dx96-vp02.

While the need for knowledge utilization in policy development has become greater than ever in an era of evidence-based policymaking, there has been considerable disagreement over what and whose knowledge have an actual impact on agenda setting and policy decisions. Contributing to this ongoing debate, this study investigates what counts as policy knowledge in education and explores how and why particular bodies of knowledge are selected and utilized in the policy process.
The study examined the most recent school reforms in three countries with distinctive political and institutional arrangements: the Every Student Succeeds Act in the US, the 2015 Curriculum Reform in South Korea, and the Renewal and Improvement Reform in Norway. In total, 3,873 texts cited in expert reports prepared for the reforms were used as data for the bibliometric network analysis, and interviews with 45 policy experts in three countries, cued by network findings, were analyzed.
The results showed differences in the institutionalized expertise-seeking arrangements, reflecting each country’s political contexts. The so-called “pluralist US model” sought expertise predominantly from interest group members, and both the expert and reference networks were fairly decentralized. In particular, think tanks and advocacy groups such as the Education Trust, the Center for American Progress, and the Brookings Institution served as important sources of knowledge in policymaking. By contrast, knowledge production and utilization in the “state corporatist system” of South Korea were mainly centralized in and steered by government actors and institutions. The “societal corporatist system” of Norway placed a greater emphasis on consensus building among diverse yet organized interests.
Nevertheless, this study also found that the actual practice of expertise-seeking in the policy process did not always align with institutionalized norms due to local political contexts with regard to who has more access, resources, and power. In addition, the norms are changing along with two seemingly contradictory trends in today’s policymaking: the academization of expertise and increased demands for application-driven mode 2 knowledge.
Overall, this study highlights the transferability of knowledge and the role of intermediary actors and organizations that bridge different systems and facilitate the transfer process. Furthermore, it makes a methodological contribution by employing bibliometric network analysis and network-cued interviews to understand policy knowledge utilization networks and coalitions within and across boundaries. The former demonstrates the structural position of policy actors and bodies of knowledge in a network, and the latter explains why particular actors or bodies of knowledge have greater influence, power, or prominence than others.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Seaports, or harbours, play a vital role in the logistical supply chain, since they handle the largest volumes of containerised cargo and bulk goods that enter any country. Over the decades, globalisation and free trade have resulted in increased movement of cargo and people through the sea ports. The security functions in all categories of the ports are of paramount importance, seeing that border posts or ports are the main entry and exit points of any country. The marine transport system is responsible for 95-98 per cent of South Africa’s imports and exports. South Africa’s maritime sector, and in particular its eight commercial ports-of-entry, play a major role in the South African economy, as well as those of South Africa’s neighbouring landlocked countries. As a result of the volume of cargo containers passing through these ports, it is often challenging to detect or even examine all of the cargo that enters or leaves the port. A 2007 report titled ‘The collective approach to Border Control’ states that the movement of illegal goods crossing South African borders is in the amount of 20 billion Rand per year. The illegal movement of goods represents an enormous loss to South Africa in terms of revenue, as well as customs and excise duties, and negatively impacts on the confidence of our international investors. One of South Africa’s busiest seaports-of-entry is the Durban harbour. This study sought to investigate the challenges presented by the illegal movement of goods through Durban harbour. The research sought to establish how the goods were being moved illegally through the Durban harbour area. The focus is on the security risk control measures that should control the illegal movement of goods from the Durban Harbour.
The objectives of this study were:
to examine the existing security risk control measures at the Durban harbour;
to assess the risks associated with the illegal movement of goods at the Durban harbour; and to identify the security risk control measures required to prevent the illegal
movement of goods at the Durban harbour.
The study made use of the qualitative research approach to research the unlawful transfer of goods
entering through seaports. Three methods of data collection were used. These were a documentary
study of police case dockets, an onsite security audit of the Durban harbour, and face-to-face
interviews between the researcher and the interviewees in accordance with an interview
schedule. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the SAPS Border Police, customs officials
and security officials who were stationed at the Durban harbour. Thirty (30) sample respondents
were individually interviewed by the interviewer. An analysis of fifty (50) police dockets which
were registered on the SAPS crime administration system for
‘Theft and Contraband Smuggling’ were also analysed, where the scene-of-crime was the Durban
harbour. In addition, an onsite evaluation of the current security measures at the Durban harbour
was conducted. All of the data collected was analysed using a data-spiral method, which generated
themes and categories. The findings established that there are shortcomings or gaps within the
existing security measures for the prevention of, and safeguarding the harbour as a port against,
criminal risks or security weaknesses. Accordingly, the researcher has recommended certain
measures that should assist in eliminating or reducing the associated criminal risks affecting the harbour.Criminology and Security Science
