ABSTRACT

A great problem for the modern state is deciding the order of policy priorities. There are conflicts in the choice of priorities due to limited resources, restricted time, and the different policy circumstances between government departments. In particular, policies concerned with cultural properties suffer from serious problems because cultural assets display characteristics of both private and common goods. The conflicts are various because cultural assets and properties both belong to the commons, as they are based on shared values for local society, and the realm of private goods, as they highlight personal viewpoints. These conflicts have induced damage of cultural assets as common property in communities. Accordingly, it is necessary to define accurately the concept and content of the commons. This article compares the National Trust of the United Kingdom with Korea’s National Trust. The ultimate purpose of this research, rather than a simple comparative study of cultural policy which explicates differences, is to suggest how each case can contribute to the process of social agenda-decision making.
