네트워크 거버넌스에서의 정책조정수단 분석 - 유럽연합 연구개발 분야의 개방형조정방식(OMC)을 중심으로 -

The 'Open Method of Coordination(OMC)' has emerged as a new policy instrument in the context of European network governance in March 2000. The OMC has strengthened the logic of mutual learning, benchmarking, best practice and peer review & pressure to achieve the EU's goal of becoming the world's most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy, capable of sustaining economic growth with better jobs and greater social cohesion. In the field of Research & Technological Development(R&TD) as a target of this analysis, the Competitiveness Council of European Commission has organized the Committee for Scientific and Technical Research(CREST) to oversee process and implementation of the OMC in the area of R&TD. This paper examines the CREST-OMC which was launched in relation to the Barcelona 3% target set in 2003 as a policy instrument in the context of network governance. As a result, a positive view on the need to coordinate R&TD policies softly in EU 27 members and on the voluntary and flexible nature of policy coordination and learning in the CREST-OMC is shown even there is a negative view about the effectiveness of the open method of coordination(OMC).
