AB - This article discusses the grassroots democracy that the current government is aiming at and the local decentralization and regional self-governing that it is pursuing to realize this. This democracy respects the individual life of the community members and seeks a way to harmonize their lives. Therefore, this democracy cannot but emphasize the autonomy of the local community, which is the home of these individuals. Therefore, the present government intends to realize local decentralization and self-governing. However, recent claims about decentralization and self-governing mainly focus on system improvement from the administrative point of view, and do not go far to improve the fundamental condition of human life from humanistic point of view. Moreover, these claims merely emphasize the importance of decentralization and self-governing, but do not give a more detailed account of the differences and deep relationships between them. These arguments also do not provide an in-depth discussion of how decentralization and self-governing should be in relation to grassroots democracy. In particular, these arguments deal only with the rights relations between power-seeking communities and do not actively address the status of the humanistic community seeking solidarity among the communities. This article focuses on these problems and argues that to realize grassroots democracy properly, we must go beyond the decentralized democracy related to the autonomy of the power communities to the self-governing democracy seeking the human community. Without an effort to bring the region back to the humanities community, we can not properly realize local decentralization, self-governing, and grassroots democracy.
