AB - The purpose of this study is to examine the research trends of public policy studies in Korean Society and Public Administration, and to suggest directions and tasks for future study. A total of 150 published papers are analyzed, and the findings reveal that a large number of studies have suggested policy alternatives to a range of social problems. However, the previous have shortcomings, in terms of meeting social obligations, from both empirical and prescriptive perspectives. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the interdisciplinary character of public policy research should be strengthened in order to facilitate academic exchange and produce more robust research. Second, while 67 out of 150 papers proposed policy alternatives, greater attention is required in order to make these achievable in reality. Third, considering the fact that the majority of the papers are based upon qualitative analysis, greater attention should be given to quantitative methods. Fourth, in regard to the policy process, more research is required on the agenda setting and policy implementation stages. Fifth, empirical research activity must be strengthened in the field of policy decision-making research. Lastly, we should discuss ways to encourage research on 'local areas'. Taking into account the national distribution of Seoul Association for Public Administration members, it seems that the amount of research on local areas is insufficient.
