The concept of new governance is generally accepted as a system of networks or cooperative system. However, it is not certain whether the meaning of network is fully investigated and reaches a consensus or not. With the situation as above, the concept of network is somewhat arbitrarily defined from time to time in the process of government reforms and national development planning. One of the latent problems is that the policy alternatives in the reforms can be lack of substance or mutually contradictory. The purpose of this study is to clarify the meaning of new governance as a system of network based on the concept of complex adaptive system(CAS). From CAS, six indicators for self-organizing .networks are developed to analyze the characteristics of new governance. Furthermore, the six indicators are applied to several programs of Regional Innovation System (RIS) to identify empirical evidences and policy insights for the realization of new governance in South Korea.

The contracting-out is a very complex decision. Empirical evidences on the determinants of variations in contracting-out are evaluated. This study tries to analyze empirically correlations on mayoral leadership and contracting-out in the primary governments. For the sake of this purpose, it divided mayoral leadership into the personal trait factors and the situational factors. And these factors are analyzed influence on the level of contracting out. The main findings of this study are as follows. The contracting-out in the primary governments received more the situational factor than the personal trait factor. The situational factor of mayoral leadership is determined by local government type(D2) (β = -.269), self-support of finance(β = .230). and local government type(Dl)( β =-.213). In conclusion, as a way of improving contracting out in primary government, it is more effective to emphasize the situational factor of mayoral leadership by the improvement of contracting out circumstance.

The special adjustment grant as one of the local fiscal coordinations between a metropolitan government and its counties was devised to respond to ``special`` budgetary demands on counties`` side. This study argues that, however. it``s being used for expected residents`` demands embedded with political nature of county heads, contrary to its original intents. Thus, this article suggests several alternatives to fulfil the objective from the start. That is. we can get rid of the special adjustment at all or lower its adjustment ratio. Additionally, a certain calculation method should be introduced or the special adjustment is allowed to work an incentive for general adjustment distribution.

This article provides an overview and assessment of residents`` endeavor to improve the quality of water in the Daepo River in terms of local governance. In most cases, the government takes the first step toward the solution of the water problem and induce the public participation later on. However, in the case of the Daepo River, the residents voluntarily initiate the movement for cleaning the water, then government and civic organizations are involved in the movement later on. In this respect, the residents`` voluntary participation in improving the quality of water of the Daepo River can be evaluated as an ideal case of local governance. Through the analysis of this case, it was found that the successful local governance for improving water quality can be initiated by residents and it would induce active cooperation between residents and government. Furthermore. to establish a successful local governance, it is needed to focus on both a more active citizenry and a more responsive government that can deliver needed public services.

This paper is to discuss not only capacities needed for local governments and citizens but also to developing strategies in the decentralization era. My paper noted four key sessions to arrive at the goal of study. The first this study introduced different definitions about general capacity (or competency). Secondly, it designed capacity framework including its categories (citizen, local council, local executive) and levels (institution, organization, individual). Thirdly, issued concerned an autonomous capacity followed. The fourth, this paper established strategies to build capacity in decentralization era of South Korea. Especially, alternatives to build local government``s capacity are focused on following three activities. Firstly, it has to organize a NGO Center to support an information and training for civil society. Secondly, it has to enlarge supporting functions or groups to develop public policy for local legislative. Thirdly, it has to implement scientific TNA(Training Needs Assessment) for effectively outcome of civil servant``s training in local government.

Over the past decade, there has been a great interest in the building of regional innovation system all over the world. In the current Korean government, the regional innovation system is wedded with the idea of balanced development. As a result, there have been a plethora of stucties on the RIS, mostly on how to build the RIS and introduce best practices from successful cases. Yet, the concept of the RIS was not seriously contended, as if there were a consensus on the RIS as a concept. This paper tries to show that there is no fixed regional innovation system. It examines the conceptual issues regarding the RIS. It shows that R(egion) is not well defined: the region is best thought of as multi -dimensional and a primary focus should be placed on a global dimension: I(nnovation) process is not well grasped: yet. each of research institutes, universities, firms or governments can be an animateur of innovation: so, attention should be equally paid to one of them. The role of government is problematic: it played a great role in certain areas and sectors and not in others: so, easy generalization on its role should be avoided.

This study aims at providing policy alternatives to establish an effective advisory system of the Advisory Council on Democratic and Peaceful Unification (ACDPU). Theoretically, a governance theory is utilized to extend the public network externally and consolidate democratic procedures internally. It is to establish a participatory network, advancing concepts addressed by Habermas(like public sphere) and Lowi (like interest-group politics). in the North Korea and unification policy. This paper contends that the government needs to institution-alize "a participatory policy network" for peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia (i.e., Northeast Asian Participatory Network for Peace and Prosperity). Such will eventually lead to have public consensus on the ways of unifying Korea. favorable domestic and international environment in intensifying inter-Korean relations, and desirable unification culture for peaceful unification.

The dynamic environments of local governments within and without call for a new government system. Provincial government system is emerging as one of the alternatives to 16 metropolitan (cities. provinces) and 234 local governments (cities. counties) system. The new scheme for organizing connectivity over territory jurisdiction is expected to transform the territory jurisdiction as of today into a 60-70 provincial governmental system in the lieu of globalization and informatization. This study is intended to critically review the arguments concerning organizing connectivity over territory jurisdiction and suggest directions for a new system on the basis of diversity down the road.

This study aims to discuss about both how to deal with business and how to manage popular control within the context of regional state``s global strategy. An inquiry upon these subjects seems very urgent in light of the current discourse on the Korean government``s equitable growth strategy between regions, since many commentators have questioned some drawbacks theoretical as well as empirical inherent within the government``s policy frameworks. This study therefore highlights why local governments should look for global city- region networks as the main target of global strategy, and tries to explain how to maintain local autonomy vis-a-vis capital by use of bargaining theory. And also, I insist that local government``s partnership with NGO will be another invaluable asset to the region``s adjustment toward glocalization.

When we notice the processes of historical formation of Japanese central government, it``s argued that Japan has historically experienced two big reforms. The first reform established modern cabinet system and bureaucracy in 1885(Meiji 18). The second one was a series of reforms which took place during the period of postwar occupation. The latter reform was the foundations of the present Japanese central government. In 2001, Japan``s central government ministries and agencies started a new organizational system restructuring the one office and 21-ministry system to the one and 12. This study debates the historical meaning of the recent reform of Japan``s central government. It would also offer an interesting implications to the case of Korea.
