ABSTRACT

This study was conducted in order to suggest directions on how to improve laws and ordinances for enhancing the efficiency of crisis management in Korea through analyzing distributed laws and ordinances related to crisis management. The findings of the analysis are as follows. First, the concepts of crisis were diverse from emergency to civil defense situation, integrated defense situation, and disaster among laws and ordinances. Second, wartime crises such as emergencies and integrated defense situations were mixed with peacetime crises such as natural and social disasters, and therefore, wartime laws and ordinances were not properly connected to peacetime ones and the boundary between the two was unclear. Third, in the staged application of crisis management as well, some laws and ordinances were applicable only at the stage of crisis response, and some to the entire process of prevention, preparation, response, and restoration, and this may confuse systematic crisis management activities. Fourth, the jurisdiction of crisis management was divided among several departments including the Prime Minister, National Security Agency, and Ministry of National Defense, and this may cause redundancy and void of works resulting from the decentralization of crisis management functions.
