ABSTRACT

This study is a case study of the New Political Vision Party to examine the causes of failure in making new parties in Korea. Assuming that not only dissatisfaction with the existing political parties, but also electoral competitiveness is necessary for the survival of new parties, it examines how the new party made efforts to take its ideological position different from other major parties and maintain its issue ownership. This study shows that the NPVP failed to find its distinct ideological position and to make any notable efforts to initiate issues related with the old regional cleavage and emerging generational, ideological, and economic cleavages, which helped Ahn Cheol-soo and his NPVP gaining political support from Koreans, and therefore, had no choice but to merge with the Democratic Party.
