헌법재판을 통한 행정작용 통제－중국․대만․일본의 제도와 판례를 중심으로－

The accomplishments of the Korean Constitutional Court(KCC) over the past twenty one years have been nothing short of astounding. Especially, the KCC’s power of controlling administrative actions becomes wider and stronger. The article examines the constitutional-judicial control over administrative actions in East Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, and Japan. Here, related provisions and judicial rulings in each country are heavily studied. In China, while the Soviet system of legislative control does not work efficiently, the administrative tribunal of the People’s Court, in the recent wave of “judicializing constitution law”, begins to play a significant role of scrutinizing administrative actions. In Taiwan, though the Grand Justices of the Judicial Yuan extend their jurisdiction and review the precedents of the Administrative Court, they cannot exercise direct control over the courts, for there is a sharp distinction between constitutional interpretation and judicial ruling. After World Was II, Japan adopted the American model of judicial review, however, the overwhelming tendency of judicial passivism prevents the courts from reviewing administrative actions. The KCC’s controlling power over administrative lawsuits goes far over the Supreme People’s Court of China and the Supreme Court of Japan, even over the Judicial Yuan of Taiwan, and its overwhelming tendency of judicial activism in controlling administrative actions should be reconsidered.
