공정경쟁 실현을 위한 자율규제의 역할과 방향

Self-regulation is an example of a way in which the ordinary public duties of a government administration to use its authorities to create legislation to implement policies is passed unto a private citizen to carry out those tasks in the administration’s stead. As a result the government administration which had formerly taken full responsibility of creating, implementing, and maintaining different policies designed for and under specific purposes and restrictions, allows the non-government figure(s) to be responsible for formulating and implementing their own policies. In this way self-regulation which is a method of allowing the public to regulate themselves is essentially a transference of some of the responsibilities of an administration over to the aforementioned public. However, despite calls for an increase of self-regulation, workers currently working under areas designated for self-regulation have criticized the government for interfering “too much” and desire a legalization of self-regulation laws to discuss the justifiability of the government’s actions in interfering. As a response to the multiple issues that arise in the process of business and in the economy businesspeople argue self-regulation to be the solution, whereas the government questions the effectiveness of self-regulation and believes instead in implementing stronger governmental policies in the form of a “larger” government. The democratization of the economy is an important topic of discussion in today’s world in the realm of politics, economics, and societies, and its aim is to provide as much economic fairness and freedom to the individual provided under the constitution as is possible without hurting the efficiency or the stability of the economy. Taking these factors into consideration, to achieve further democratization of the economy it is impossible to ignore the advantages of self-regulation and we must collectively strive to seek more effective solutions involving self-regulation.
