ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to understand the dynamics of the governmental reorganization process in the area of ICT in Korea. For this, this research uses an institutional approach, policy network approach, and Kingdon’s multiple stream framework(MSF). The result of the analysis shows the usefulness of these three approaches in understanding the dynamics of the reorganization in the ICT area. Korea has institutional characteristics where the reorganization process repeats every five years due to the single-term presidential system. And there have been a repetitive flux of similar problems and solutions in this area, accompanied by various network relationships surrounding the reorganization process. Among them, the Ministry of Information and Communication(MIC) related policy network is very influential because it has characteristics of the policy community since it’s inception. The research implies that the more closed the policy venue is, the higher the importance of the personal network between the policy makers and the members of the policy network is. As the ICT area gets more complex and various network relationship develops, continuous conflicts among ministries are expected to occur in relation to reorganization. Given the fact that various networks exist in this area, future reorganization should be carried out in a more corporatism based manner.
