ABSTRACT

Despite of continued efforts to reform regulations on business associations, we can hardly see visible changes like foundations of competitive organizations. In addition, various problems have been continuing to take place due to the regulations restricting the freedom of associations. First of all, these regulations are depriving some groups of their opportunity to input their interest into policy process by limiting the creation of new business association. Member dues are also extraordinary expensive compared with those of other nations like U.S.. The benefits of organization itself are overriding the interest of members who pay for the organization when the interests of the association conflict with that of their members. As the associations are splitted by clear boundaries defined by entry and business boundary regulation, conflicts on policy issues among the associations are so serious that the agreements on policy reforms crucial to the industry, for examples changes of business boundary and entry regulations, are nearly impossible. To solve all of these problems, all regulations that guarantee the monopoly power of business associations over their member should be abolished. In addition, civil affairs delegated to business associations also need to be returned to government or re-distributed to any agencies who will not abuse them for organizational interest.
