새정부의 지방자치 관련 공약 내용과 그 실현을 위한 공법적 과제

The policy direction of the new government has been revealed through the pledge of the President and the five-year plan of the national affairs and state administration selected by the National Planning and Advisory Committee. The national affairs reflect the president's commitment in relation to decentralization. The issues related to the decentralization of the presidential election pledge were reflected in the national agenda. The importance of the pledge has been emphasized, and NGOs are evaluating whether or not to fulfill the pledge. Thus, whether or not to implement the pledge is important as a basis for predicting whether the new government will succeed or fail. This paper analyzes the new government's commitment to local autonomy and decentralization, and examines public legal issues for its realization. Among the various pledges related to decentralization, especially the following issues were analyzed. They are the pledge to amend the decentralized constitution, the establishment of the second State Council, the transfer of the central authority to the provinces, the strengthening of the autonomous capacity of local governments, the decentralization of finance and the expansion of citizen participation. In order to realize these tasks, the amendments of related laws were reviewed. In the future, amendments to the Constitution should reflect the contents of decentralization. In order to strengthen the authority of local governments, the Local Autonomy Law shall be amended in its entirety and the enforcement ordinances and other regulations shall be amended. In conclusion, in order to realize the promises of the new government, it is necessary not to passively revise the relevant legal provisions, but to revise the related regulations comprehensively and simultaneously.
