ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of papers on administrative reform, which were published in Korean Society and Public Administration and Korean Public Administration Review from 1990 to 2012. To this end, the present study uses an analytical framework to classify papers into seven categories. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the quantity of published papers is similar in both journals, the papers are authored by a relatively small group of scholars, and the majority focus on the Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun administrations. Second, in terms of research methods, there are a greater number of qualitative than quantitative studies. Third, in terms of the subject and conceptual focus, theories and models of reform were discussed the most. In conclusion, it is difficult to pinpoint the differences between papers published in the two journals. In the coming years, Korean Society and Public Administration should concentrate on developing its own distinct identity and focus.
