ABSTRACT

The growth and diversification process of social movements in Daejeon showed conventional track records and similar paths of Korean social movements. Various social movement powers, religious, student, educational, cultural and youth, had existed before 1987, but they were converged as a big movement called "anti-despotic pro-democracy movement." Each movement chose a strategy to expand anti-despotic pro-democracy movements through each sector, rather than to strengthen its own identity. It was only after the strife in June, 19878 when the first differentiation between labor movements and civil movements took place. And, it continued to the second differentiation when the topography of community movements was restructured “from a big movement to many movements with differences.” In the growth and differentiation of community movements, a new political system called local self-government, which was first introduced in the ’90s and expanded, had an important influence. This new political structure generated by a local government and local civil moments stimulated the birth and expansion of community movements. It can be said that facing the age of local self-government, not only political and economic reform movement, women’s movements and environment movements that newly arose in the ’90s but also alternative society movement and grassroots movements that newly emerged in the 2000s were to restructure a local community in progressive, democratic, rational and mutually beneficial manners, or it was a process of active self-evolution of community movements.
