Effective policy coordination is necessary function for successful policy implementation. Korean government, for effective policy coordination, had developed the policy coordination system in the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister's Office had successfully implemented policy coordination tasks during 35 years. The Prime Minister's Office had systemized policy coordination institutions and developed organizational capacity for effective coordination, and utilized various strategies, such as power, persuasion, and technical strategy. Based on the system, capacity, and various strategies, ]the Prime Minister's Office had achieved 90% of the asked policy conflict problems and completed 85% of coordination tasks within 6 months. The purpose of this study is for reviewing the performance of successful coordination of Prime Minister's Office and searching for some implications. For the study, the author analyzed the 429 policy conflict problems which had been recorded in 8 Policy Coordination White Papers.

This paper aims to explore the cause and aspect of inter-ministerial policy conflict and its coordination in science and technology policy-making with the case of science and technology basic law-making process in Korea. This law-making processes are analysed through the three periods for the last 10 years starting 1992, such as law-formulation(1st) period, interim law-making (2nd) period, and final law-making(3rd) period. Based on these steps, it tries to concretely describe the phenomenon of policy conflict and the coordination mechanism among government departments and analyses the characteristics of dynamic interaction and mutual adjustment among the related agencies. The analysis is mainly focussed on the underlying causes and determinants of policy conflict, the development and coordination process of the conflict, the strategies and logics of the conflict participants, and eliciting some policy implications for effective policy coordination among government departments. Research results are summarized as follows. First, in science and technology policy-making the main causes of policy conflict among government departments are attributed to the difference of policy-orientation and jurisdiction-orientation of each agency. During the first period, the main aspect of policy conflict was policy-oriented, during the second, the main aspects of policy conflict were both policy-oriented and jurisdiction-oriented, and during the third, policy-oriented conflict was dominant. Second, the dominant typology and strategies of policy coordination which the participants used were vertical-political and horizontal-analytic approach. During the first period, horizontal and analytical approach were used, during the second, horizontal and political approach are mixedly used, and during the third, vertical and political approach were dominantly used. Third, The Korean National Assembly and the ruling party played a pivotal role in science and technology policy-making process(the basic law-making process) in particular during the final period.

Recently policy coordination and integration have emerged as core challenges as complexity and uncertainty of policy. Especially as innovation and environment policy is expanding and its position is being further elevated within policy hierarchy, policy integration has emerged as core governance challenges for nation states. OECD countries emphasized the need of coordination and integration of policy by introducing concepts such as 'Environmental Policy Integration', 'the Third generation innovation policy', 'integrated innovation policy'. This study analysed the background, concepts, objects, mechanisms, and major issues of integrated innovation policy and various attempts for integrate innovation policy by policy level and cycle. Developing integrated innovation policies has become increasingly important for the EU and OECD countries in recent years. OECD countries including Finland have developed broader policy agendas for balancing policy objectives and aims of other policy sectors and horizontal relationships with other policy sectors. Policy integration helps to reorient policies where related policies are in conflict and to ensure coherence across different policy areas. Policy integration emphasizes long-term policy adjustment and adaptation based on social agreement and common vision.

This study aims at the evaluation of procedural changes and policy outcome caused by the Open Method of Coordination(OMC) on Social Inclusion in the European Union. The policy instruments of the OMC introduced by the Lisbon Council can be divided into two groups: the outcome-oriented New Public Management(NPM) and the process-oriented Directly Deliberative Polyarchy(DDP). By considering the adoption process of the NPM instruments, it can be said that OMC could not be effective due to the vagueness of its objectives, the institutional barriers in decentralized decision-making, and the rejection of benchmarking by the Member States. The intended learning by deliberation and peer review as indicated by the normative DDP, is hard to achieve because they are not so reflexive due to relatively restricted and closed participation. We also cannot find any significant reduction of poverty after the long implementation of the OMC. Considering the higher recognition of poverty problem and expanding NGOs concerned with it, however, we may see some significant impact in the future.

산업구조변화의 일반적인 추세는 나라마다 비슷한 모습을 보인다. 그러나 국가별, 산업별로 관찰해 보면 구조변화의 방향과 경로가 상당히 다양할 뿐 아니라 구조조정의 성과도 다르게 나타나고 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 한국의 산업구조변화가 산업특성별로 어떻게 다른 모습을 보이고 있으며, 선진국들과 비교할 때 어떤 다른 특징이 관찰되는지를 검토함으로써 구조조정의 내용과 성과를 평가하고 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 구조조정의 성과에 대한 평가의 근간은 "경제발전의 원동력은 혁신능력에 있다"는 "슘페터"의 명제에 두고 있다. 혁신집약적 산업활동의 비중변화를 기준으로 산업구조조정의 성과를 분석함에 있어 다음의 두가지 문제에 봉착하게 된다. 첫째, 혁신집약적 산업활동을 측정하기 위해 어떤 지표를 사용할 것인가, 둘째 혁신집약적 산업활동을 어떤 수준으로 분류할 것인가이다. 본고(本稿)에서는 산업별 연구개발 집약도를 혁신집약적 산업활동의 대용변수로 사용하여 혁신집약도의 정도에 따라 산업을 첨단기술산업, 중간기술산업, 재래기술산업의 세가지로 나눈 다음 수출구조변화, 생산 고용 부가가치 구조변화, 생산성 변화를 분석하였다. 제조업 수출에서 차지하는 첨단기술산업의 비중을 기준으로 한다면 구조고도화는 매우 빠르게 진전되었다. 첨단기술산업은 수출비중도 높지만 수입침투율도 가장 높다. 특히 수출주도의 고성장이 이루어졌던 1986~88년, 1994~95년 기간에 수출구조의 고도화도 급격히 이루어졌다는 사실은 해외경쟁에 노출되어 있는 수출부문이 제조업 구조고도화를 선도하고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이에 비해 국내수요를 포함한 한국 제조업 전체의 생산, 고용, 부가가치 구조를 분석해 보면 수출부문에 비해 구조조정 성과가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 평가된다.

Focusing on 'growing together' strategies through horizontal fiscal equalization systems, this and subsequent papers aim to suggest regional co-development strategies in which conflicts between the Seoul Metropolitan Area(SMA) and the non-SMA can be efficiently alleviated. Regarding the socio-economic relationships between the SMA and the non-SMA, there are two contradictory perspectives. One perspective is that the SMA grows at the expense of the non-SMA. The other perspective is that non-SMA's economy is somehow entirely dependent on the economic activities occurring within the SMA, which is the opposite of the former perspective. There are various forms of collaboration among local or regional governments, but the most radical solutions involve the establishment of new regional development financing method at the practical level. This paper suggests that horizontal fiscal equalization not yet introduced between same level subgovernments need to be institutionalized to promote the growing together between the SMA and the rest region of Korea.

농촌개발에 관한 정책영역이 농촌공간 단위의 농업정책과 비농업정책을 포괄하는 방향으로 진행됨에 따라 관련된 농촌개발주체는 분산, 다기화되어 있다. 필리핀의 경우 농촌개발과 관련된 중앙정부의 관련부처는 상대적으로 세분화되어 있으며, NGO 등의 관련기구도 많은 편이다. 또한 필리핀의 지방행정계층의 수도 다른 나라에 비하여 상대적으로 많다. 이는 중앙정부 부처간, 중앙부처와 NGO 및 중앙정부와 지방정부간의 조정을 어렵게 하는 요인으로 작용한다. 한편, 지방정부 레벨에 있어서는 농촌개발과 관련된 관련주체간의 조정시스템에 관하여 지방정부법(1991)에 상세한 규정을 두고 있으나, 실제적인 작동의 면에서 한계를 가지고 있다. 특히, 필리핀의 농촌개발과 관련된 지방단위의 관련주체의 역량은 충분히 함양되지 못하고 있는 상황에서 주민과 NGO의 농촌개발에 대한 참여(민주성)를 매우 중시하고 있다. 필리핀 농촌의 발전을 위해서는 관련 주체들의 분산도를 감소시키고, 주체간의 통합성의 증진을 위한 노력이 필요하며, 관련 개별주체의 역량강화와 효율성에 입각한 조정체계의 정립과 전략이 절실히 요구되고 있다.

세계 경제의 환경 변화로 제조업 부문은 경쟁 압력과 함께 구조조정 압력에 직면하고 있다. 특히, 석유화학 산업은 대표적인 장치산업이란 특징으로 인해 중국과 중동의 대규모 신규 설비투자가 한국 석유화학 산업에 커다란 구조조정 압력으로 작용하고 있다. 정부가 정책대안의 1순위로 꼽는 인수합병 계획으로 인해 대규모 고용조정과 함께 비정규직 증가가 초래될 가능성이 크다. 석유화학산업의 고용형태는 '핵심-주변'으로 이원화되어 있으며 '구조조정 = 비정규직 증가'로 나타나고 있기 때문이다. 프랑스의 구조조정 대응 사례를 통해 정부의 능동적 개입과 노조의 적극적 대안 추구 노력이 구조조정에 따른 고용 문제의 해결책을 마련해 낼 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 정부는 석유화학산업의 당면 과제인 산업 내 양극화를 극복하고 산업연관체계를 재구축하기 위한 능동적 역할을 담당해야 한다. 또한 지역차원의 고용안정시스템의 구축을 위해 지방정부의 능동적 역할이 요구된다. 특히, 도급구조로 이원화된 노동력 구조를 극복하기 위해서 건설플랜트노동자를 비롯해 하청구조 하의 다양한 비정규직의 이해를 반영하는 교섭틀 구축이 중요하다. 노동조합은 전체 노동자를 포괄하는 위치에서만 산업정책에 대한 개입력을 높여나갈 수 있다. 사회연대적, 사회운동적 노동조합주의라는 새로운 정체성 하에서만 적극적인 산업재편 개입전략의 토대를 형성할 수 있다.
