이 연구는 한국 현실에 맞는 교육정책의 굿 거버넌스는 궁극적으로 어떤 가치를 지향할 것인지를 모색하기 위해 논란이 되었던 세 가지 교육정책 사례를 중심으로 현 정부의 교육정책 거버넌스의 특징적 실태를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 현실적으로 민주성과 효율성을 동시에 제고해야 하는 바람직한 거버넌스 체제를 구축하기 위해 교육정책 분야에서 정부와 시민사회는 어떤 관계를 맺어야 좋은지를 여섯 가지 평가요소를 근거로 살펴보았다. 분석결과 민주성 측면에서 보면 세 가지 정책사례 간 정도의 차이가 있지만 모든 분야에서 시민단체들의 참여는 활발하였다. 그러나 이런 활발한 참여에 비해 상호 간 정보의 공유나 의사소통 그리고 반응성은 취약했다고 볼 수 있다. 효율성 측면에서는 더 심각한 문제가 발견되었다. 시민단체 간 연대가 활발하였던 점은 효율적 거버넌스의 긍정적 측면으로 볼 수 있으나 이런 연대는 유사한 의견을 가진 단체들 간에만 이루어졌다. 또한 효율적 정책결정에 반드시 필요한 전문가 집단의 자문과 참여도 제한적으로 이루어졌다. 이런 상황에서 이견을 가진 행위자 간 갈등이 첨예하게 대립되었지만 이를 관리하고 조정할 매커니즘이 존재하지 않았다는 점은 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 문제이다. 따라서 세 가지 교육정책 사례에 대한 평가결과를 보면 한국처럼 국민적 관심이 높고 참여가 활발한 교육정책 분야에서는 보다 좋은 거버넌스를 지향하기 위해서 정부의 반응성과 갈등 조정력이 중요한 요인으로 고려되어져야 할 것이다. 또한 향후 교육정책결정에 있어서 좋은 거버넌스의 목표를 달성하기 위해 생각이 다른 전문가 집단 간 의사소통이 수평적이고 효율적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 제도적 장치가 마련되어야 한다고 본다.

신산업 시장 육성 및 일자리 창출 등 지속적인 성장동력을 확보하기 위해서는 선진 기술을 모방하는 추격형 전략에서 벗어나, 기술 혁신을 주도하는 탈추격형 전략으로 변화를 시도해야 한다. 해외에서는 다양한 아이디어 지원 플랫폼을 통해 국민 모두가 혁신 활동에 적극적으로 참여할 수 있도록 지원하고 있다. 이에 따라 우리나라에서도 국민의 창의성을 발현하고 새로운 부가가치를 창출하기 위해 다양한 정책들을 추진하며 전략적 투자를 확대하고 있다. 특히, 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)에서 운영하고 있는 창조경제타운은 아이디어의 발전 구체화 및 부처/민간 사업화 지원 프로그램 연계 등을 통해 사업화 창업을 촉진하는 우리나라의 복지형 아이디어 지원 플랫폼이다. 본 연구는 복지형 아이디어 지원 플랫폼의 개념을 제시하고, 그 대표적인 모델인 창조경제타운의 프로세스를 분석하였다. 향후 창조경제타운은 창업 생태계를 조성하기 위한 기반을 마련할 것으로 판단된다.
