외환위기 이후 국제금융법이 국내 사회에 미친 영향 - 금융기관 구조조정을 중심으로 -

The main purpose of this study is to review the effects of international financial law on the Korean Society after the financial and currency crisis in 1997 in Korea with a special reference to the financial sector restructuring after the crisis. The secondary purpose is to find out lessons that can be drawn from the above-mentioned effects of international financial law on the Korean Society. In this paper, international financial law means the financial law of financially well-developed countries such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The first chapter deals with the purpose and scope of this study. The second chapter studies the definition of financial and currency crisis, and the relationship between economic crisis and financial and currency crisis. I also mention the occurrence, causes, and overcoming process and measures of the financial and currency crisis in Korea in 1997. In the third chapter, I analyze the enactments and amendments of financial law whose main purposes were to promote the financial sector restructuring in Korea which could be divided into 3-stages, namely the first stage(November in 1997～March in 1998), the second stage(April in 1998～August in 2000), the third stage(September in 2000～now). In the fourth chapter, I review the characteristics of the enactments and amendments of the above-mentioned financial law. In the fifth chapter, I review the effects of international financial law on the Korean Society through enacting and amending the Korean financial law after the financial and currency crisis in 1997. In the conclusion, I propose the lessons that can be derived from the enactments and amendments of financial law whose main purposes were furthering the financial sector restructuring in Korea after the crisis. The Korean government enacted and amended the financial law to promote the financial sector restructuring after the crisis in accordance with the stand-by agreement between the Republic of Korea and IMF. The financial law of the United States of America and the other financially well-developed countries influenced the enactments and amendments of the Korean financial law, which resulted in measurements in overcoming the crisis, made the Korean financial law advanced to the level of well-developed countries, helped the competitiveness of Korean financial industry to be raised, and provided a momentum for researching the Korean financial law in detail. We, Koreans, should research intensively the financial law of financially well-developed countries such as U.S.A. in oder to introduce good legal systems from them for our country. When enacting or amending the financial law, we should do in a timely manner and with a lot of discussions on them.
