ABSTRACT

Since inauguration of new government, 5+2 Mega Economic Region Plan and reshuffling of local government administration system have been highlighted among academia and public policy networks. Considering political resistance, it would be more desirable to cope with expanded public service demand without changing jurisdictional boundaries through developing cooperative governance model. This study tries to develop cooperative governance model among local governments, particularly for those within metropolitan regions, in this transient phase. For this, we scrutinized related theories and found Multi-governance model is appropriate for this intergovernmental governance. Also, we applied case study approach to benchmark best practice from council of government, i.e. Metropolitan Planning Organization, in US. For this, Metro and SCAG were selected and analysed to find suitable implications. Based on these, we developed two types of intergovernmental models according to their authorities which could be applied for Korean situation and identified main issues in terms of inter and intra-relational governance, legal status and budgetary basis. As another main issue is how to resolve conflict among members of governance, we identified possible aspects of conflict and suggested future direction of conflict management. We believe this study could contribute to achieving cooperation among local governments within this framework and.
