ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of public governance in the United Kingdom and Japan in terms of intersectional relations and configuration of governance and then to provide policy implications for public governance innovation in South Korea. In order to examine the characteristics of public governance and operational mechanism in a country, it is necessary to review intersectional relations and the hierarchical system of each sector in the configuration of governance. After that, it is useful to utilize the configurational approach in examining the characteristics of overall configuration and operational principles in a country. Accordingly, this study examines the type of government, the relationship between the central government and its subgovernments including public bodies, local governments and their subunits, which includes public bodies, intergovernmental relations, the type of public bodies, and the relationship of public bodies in the central government and local governments. In doing so, it should be possible to figure out the characteristics of public governance and operational mechanisms in the United Kingdom and Japan. Based on the findings, policy implications will be provided for public governance innovation in South Korea.
