Research Abstract |
This research investigates the presidential- bureaucratic relations in the ROK. In South Korea the executive officials of the government are composed of the presidential political appointee, but on the other hand, there exists a group of elite civil servants recruited through competitive examinations like Japan. In this research, I examine the Korean bureaucracy from the perspective of comparative political institution, and explore when the president can control the bureaucrats in the contexts of power relationship with other actors. I clarify that the remaining term of the president and the election cycle are critical factors for the presidential power over bureaucracy by comparing the actual policy processes.
