정책변동의 동인과 유형에 관한 연구

This study aimed to understand the characteristics and patterns of policy changes in Korean society by meta-analyzing 102 cases covered in 90 papers that discussed policy change cases in Korea through the advocacy coalition framework. The results showed that the government appeared most frequently as a policy broker and public-private councils were also identified as policy brokers in many cases. In addition, external shocks are a relatively strong driver of policy change, and agreements reached through negotiations between advocacy coalitions are also influencing policy change. The greatest influence of external shocks was found to be the driving force behind rapid policy changes, and among the external shocks, the influence of changes in the ruling group of the political system through elections was found to be the greatest. On the other hand, the driving force of incremental policy changes was not only external shocks but also the influence of agreements reached through negotiations, and among external shocks, the influence from major events or other policy subsystems was the greatest. The results imply that rapid policy changes in Korean society occur especially when the government changes through elections or the majority of National Assembly changes. It also suggests that incremental policy changes are primarily driven by path dependence on existing policies, either when a major event occurs or when a forum for negotiations between advocacy coalitions is established.
