ABSTRACT

This study has focused on deriving a port governance restructuring strategy in Korea by analyzing the cases of port administration system changes in major developed countries from the perspective of the theory of endogenous institutional change in new institutionalism. This is to apply and respond appropriately to the change in the administrative environment of port decentralization, which is actively discussed worldwide and actively promoted in policy. The theory of endogenous institutional change emphasizes that various types of institutional change appear according to the strategic choice of the actor in response to the environmental context. Based on this, we tried to analyze changes in the port management system and find implications for major countries such as the United States, China, Japan, the Netherlands, and Australia, where the movement of port decentralization is relatively strong. As a result, it was confirmed that the port governance of these countries has changed in various forms such as substitution, drifting, stratification, and transformation. At the same time, it was possible to confirm the characteristics of institutional isomorphism, which introduced the Port Authority system as a core system of an efficient and professional port management system. These results provide implications for the necessity of port decentralization in Korea and the restructuring strategy of port governance required at this time.
