AB - This paper presents a comparative study of Korea and Japan’s civic participation institutions and movements on both the national and local levels. With the goal of deepening democracy, civic participation has become one of the most important agendas facing Korean society today. In light of this situation, this paper will consider important insights resulting from a comparative analysis of Korea and Japan, which is also facing an analogous task. Despite of similarities in the broad social structures of the two nations, the different trajectories of the social movements of Korea and Japan are creating situational disparities. In regards to the institutions that make civic participation possible, the difference between the two countries on the national level is not significant other than the fact that the national Korean civic participation movement has been developing much more vigorously than that of Japan. On the local level, however, civic participation and institutional development is much more visible in Japan. But, it is important to note that Korea has also recently been developing at an ever-increasing rate at the local level. One of the cause for these differences has been the fact that while Koreas civil movement has been sustained by a national movement which can be called an organizational- political movement or staff-centric movement, the Japanese civil movement has primarily been volunteer-centric because the social movements are concentrated around local and lifestyle issues. Therefore, this paper concludes that for the vitalization of civic participation, the Korean civil movement should learn from Japan’s precedent in establishing roots in local and lifestyle-related issues while continuing efforts to develop the special characteristics of Korea’s civil movement.
