AB - The Korean-style planning system and its institutional framework emerged through a convergence of the Economic Planning Board(EPB) and the National Planning System introduced by the military. This formation was characterized by a period of intense institutional competition and bureaucratic friction between the involved organizations and their respective factions. Following the May 16 military coup, the military regime determined that a comprehensive overhaul of the executive branch was necessary to eliminate the incompetence and corruption of the previous government and to expedite the rapid implementation of policies, including economic development initiatives. Having established the foundation for a national planning system through organizational restructuring and civil service retraining, the military government sought to rapidly disseminate this planning system through procedures involving the formulation, coordination, implementation, and evaluation of basic operational plans by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Planning and Control Office. However, during the operational phase, military-origin bureaucrats and traditional administrative officials clashed over institutional irrationalities and coercive operational methods. To resolve this conflict, the Cabinet Planning and Control Office attempted to absorb the Economic Planning Board and establish a unified “Planning Board.” Ultimately, the Government Organization Act, enacted concurrently with the launch of the Third Republic on December 17, explicitly stipulated the separate establishment of the Office for Planning and Coordination and the Economic Planning Board as planning agencies. The National Planning System established and operated during the May 16 military government period catalyzed the expansion of planning organizations throughout society. Although staff functions and organizations originated in the military, the Office for Planning and Coordination subsequently proliferated extensively not only within government organizations but also into private enterprises and schools. This is why we must reexamine the national planning system today.
