노무현 정부의 종합부동산세 정책 뒤집기 방지 전략: 정치적 거래비용 이론의 관점에서

This paper analyzed the effects of the strategies that the Roh Moohyun government introduced to prevent policy reversal by the opposition party and the next government after political power shift. From the perspective of political transaction costs theory, which is developed from the transaction costs theory, it analyzed the changes of political transaction costs in the order of the national assembly, the central government, the local government, and courts. The analyses showed that the strategies were quite effective during the Roh Moohyun years and the 17th national assembly. However, as the Lee Myongbak government and the 18th national assembly launched, the effects of the strategies to some degree decreased. The core causes that gave rise to the differences were whether the next government secured the majority of the national assembly and the majority party used party line decision-making, and the ruling by the Constitutional Court. As the government and the majority party did so, the effects of the strategies more or less decreased. In addition, if the court had ruled unconstitutional about the policy concerned, the strategies to prevent policy reversal had nearly no effects.
