AB - As the social impact and awareness of Korean NGOs has beengrowing, more attention is paid to NGOs' internal decision-making processand organizational management. PSPD is one of those who have receivedkeen attention in this matter due to its social and political influence. Thispaper aims to review PSPD's internal governance focusing on thedemocratic participation of the rank-and-file members. PSPD has made a committment to make a democratic decision-makingstructure ever since its foundation 20 years ago. As a result, the generalmembers' participation is growing active. Representation of generalmembers based on lottery system, autonomy of implementing organs, anddecentralization provides supporting evidence for the positive evaluation interms of democracy. However, there are many challenges for upgrading thelevel of PSPD's democratic governance. The PSPD should step up the levelof members' representation in the high-level governance. Furthermore, theinstitutional reforms are necessary such as the functional division ofadministration and policy-making and restriction of the consecutive terms. In addition, deliberative democracy within PSPD should be intensified toengage the general members in the decision-making process with grass-rootrepresentation. With all these efforts, PSPD would promote internaldemocracy and social accountability.
