AB - This study aims to explore factors deriving from conflicts among stakeholders in the electricity sector, which is South Korea’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. This research first reviews climate policy instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and then provides policy options for the prevention of social conflicts. This study has selected a number of suitable policy instruments in the electricity sector and carried out AHP targeting among two interest groups seen by this study to have contrasting perspectives on greenhouse gas reduction: electricity sector professionals and environmental activists. The results of this study showed that while electricity sector professionals prefer self-regulating approaches, environmental activists prefer using command-and-control approaches when selecting climate change policy instruments. Furthermore, a wide gap in priorities was found between the two interest groups; while electricity sector professionals placed priority on economic sustainability, environmental activists gave priority to environmental sustainability. However, in respect to policy alternatives, both groups preferred demand-side management and improving energy efficiency. In short, this study clearly shows the commonalities and differences between the two groups’ preferences in selecting policy instruments for greenhouse gas reduction in the electricity sector. This study suggests that the reduction of conflict between these two groups can be minimized if the government collects a wide-range of opinions through its policy networks among stakeholders, and this will contribute to the implementation of effective and legitimate policymaking.
