ABSTRACT

Korean political culture has been changed to the consociational political culture since various kinds of group have appeared and co-existed in the knowledge and information society. The multi-party system has become into generalization in Korea by the regionalism in the politics and by the proportional representation in the election. Most of political parties pursuit the policy party inside National Assembly. The proportional representation seems to be more adopted. Localization of the power has been accelerated by local self- government(autonomy). The presidental system is in accordance with majoritarian democracy, two party system, election party and plurality election, and the power sharing presidental system is in accordance with consociational democracy, policy party, proportional representation, second ballot system and localization of the power. Accordingly the power sharing presidental system currently seems to be more suitable than the presidental system in Korea The political effects of "the power sharings presidental system" shall be as follow; 1) the deadlock between the president and the National Assembly(congress) under the divided government can be coordinated institutionally by cohabitation. 2) the responsibilities of the politicians and the political parties shall be increased by power sharing between the ins and the outs. 3) the party politics shall be developed as the political party mediates the administration and the National Assembly like the political party under the parliamentary government system. 4) the potential political leaders can be trained and verified since governing under the power sharing presidental system is done by group, not by personal, and the problems of amateurism can be reduced by mitigating the rupture of the experience of a government which may be happened frequently under the presidental system. 5) the conflict coming from the fact that a leader acts the both roles as the head of state and the head of government at the same time shall be solved by separating he head of state from the head of government. So the reliance on the national policies can be increased as the evaluation and the responsibilities of the preceding government are succeeded through the political party. Therefore, if we intend to change the 6th republic government power structure, we may consider "the power sharing presidental system" as the alternative one.
