다중스케일 상호작용과 상생형 지역일자리 사업의 굴절: 전주형일자리 모델 중심으로

This study, through a case study of the Jeonju-Type Job model, analyzes how diverse actors surrounding the Co-prosperity Regional Job initiative interact with one another, and how the initiative is transformed and refracted through relations of power and dynamics. Using a Multi-Scalar Perspective, the research examines four dimensions of interaction-nation-to-nation, nation-to-urban, local-to-urban, and urban-to-urban—to explore how competition, incorporation, conflict, and cooperation among actors at each scale influenced changes in the job initiative. The findings reveal that regional job initiatives are structurally prone to being subsumed under the state’s policy intention and converted into large corporation–centered models. This tendency is attributed to structural limitations such as the state’s emphasis on quantitative indicators and short-term outcomes, the lack of regional expertise, and the constraints of competitive project-based initiatives. As a result, Co-prosperity Regional Jobs have lost their original orientation and converged into jobs scarcely different from those already existing, and state-led regional job policy remains confined within the limitations of exogenous development. The study argues that in order to address complex regional challenges and create region-led, locally tailored alternative jobs, it is essential to foster long-term regional discussions and preparation regarding job visions and directions, strengthen expertise and capacity, ensure the strategic participation of labor, and revitalize governance mechanisms.
