| Research Abstract |
In this study, I have investigated and analyzed the process of regime transition in South Korea referring to the American case. The following two points became clear. First, the United States and South Korea, even if they also adopted a presidential system, the performance of the transition regime is very different. The differences come from the difference of the civil service systems of the countries. In the United States who takes a spoils system and interchanges high-ranking bureaucrat at the time of regime change and South Korea who has not, there occurs a big difference in inheritance of the "institutional memory" about the handling of the government. Second, there is a possibility the existence of the transition team to inhibit a smooth transition. Transition team is originally intended to ensure a smooth transition. That is, the transition team is provided in order to minimize the confusion of this transition, and was to complement the memory loss associated with the regime change in the United States with spoils systems. However, the introduction of similar equipment into Korea who has different institutional context may function to inhibit the inheritance of institutional memory in reverse.
