ABSTRACT

This paper examines various political and social issues, focusing on the suffrage of migrants in Korea, and seeks the direction of the development of suffrage from the perspective of democracy. To this end, we critically examine the logic of opposing the suffrage of migrants in Korea and the political and ideological background of such logic. Furthermore, reviewing the political philosophical implications of migrants' suffrage in the multicultural era from the perspective of human rights norms, he argues that if Korean society wants to move toward a multiracial and multicultural society from a normative or realistic perspective, it is necessary to expand its political rights in a broad sense. In conclusion, from the perspective of multicultural democracy, it proposed a forward-looking search for migrants' suffrage, active introduction of resident rights, the subject of multicultural social integration and the role of the Immigration Office.
