ABSTRACT

This research aimed to analyze recent trends of public conflict researches in Korea. The paper concentrated on categorizing theoretical characteristics of previously published conflict related researches, types of research methodologies, and contents of conflict knowledge identified by researches. The total seventy one papers from four major public administration journals were analyzed for the period between 1990 and 2008. The observation revealed that the purpose of studies was mainly to suggest a practical idea to resolve public conflicts. The number of theory verification or theory building research papers was relatively few. Second, the qualitative approaches, especially a case study method, to do research were more often used than quantitative ones. Third, the limitation of the researches having done so far was that they have not applied the same methodologies for repeated researches, which were not able to accumulate knowledge consistently and systematically. The focus of conflict researches should be shifted to develop localized conflict theories and applying them to conflict researches for localized conflict model development in order to receive practical evaluation as well as scholastic appraisal.
