ABSTRACT

This study aims to understand the long-term policy change for underdeveloped regions in Korea. The study shows the following: First, six kinds of policies for underdeveloped regions are classified into three types based on the long-term views of policy change. Type-A is a type of maintenance after policy innovation, Type-B is a type of ending after innovation, and Type-C is a type of maintenance after punctuated policy innovation, in which relevant previous policies are punctuated due to political or socioeconomic problems. In addition to these findings, this study suggests that two patterns exist in relationships between government transitions and policy changes. The first pattern is that new governments have a tendency to introduce new policies, which lead to the cumulating of policy innovation. The second pattern is that new governments have a tendency to maintain or succeed the policies of previous government even though policy termination happens in part.
