ABSTRACT

This study aims at analyzing trend of regulatory studies in regulatory theory and regulatory policy in Korea. For this purpose, it conducts a content analysis of 280 articles published in 「the Journal of Regulation Studies」 from 1992 to 2012, focusing on not only subject of researches but also researcher's orientation and perspectives on regulatory reform. The main results are as follows. First of all, regarding regulation theory, the market-oriented and traditional claims were generally accepted. Second, many studies expressed the negative view on regulation or the government's intervention. Third, the political economic perspectives of regulation such as the capture of regulatory bureaucrats, the private interest in regulation, the demand for regulation and so on were received generally . Fourth, the general trust in regulatory policy in advanced countries and Korea showed a contrasting result. Finally, there were the gap between the background expertise of researchers like public administration and economics of the legitimacy of regulation, the role of government, etc. and the difference of stance on deregulation and the inefficiency of government intervention.
