AB - It is a general assumption that the regional voting pattern have been reinforced in Korea political arena, since 13th presidential and 13th congressional elections after democratic transition of 1987. This paper uses new institutionalism approach to trace the reasons for reproducing voting patterns of regionalism rather than modernization and rational choice theories, previously dominantly used for explanation. The regional party system apparently became an active institution, mediating the connection between society and the state since 1987. To understand this trend, the concept of path-dependency will be applied to analyze its constancy and reproduction. Through path-dependency, this paper will assist how the regional party system of Korea was originated by so-called‘contingency’approach; how the path-dependent developmental process provided the formation of new political party(Democratic Liberty Party and the DJP coalition); and how the Uri Pary tried to overcome existing regional party system in terms of institutional reform during Roh’s regime.
