Effective policy coordination is necessary function for successful policy implementation. Korean government, for effective policy coordination, had developed the policy coordination system in the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister's Office had successfully implemented policy coordination tasks during 35 years. The Prime Minister's Office had systemized policy coordination institutions and developed organizational capacity for effective coordination, and utilized various strategies, such as power, persuasion, and technical strategy. Based on the system, capacity, and various strategies, ]the Prime Minister's Office had achieved 90% of the asked policy conflict problems and completed 85% of coordination tasks within 6 months. The purpose of this study is for reviewing the performance of successful coordination of Prime Minister's Office and searching for some implications. For the study, the author analyzed the 429 policy conflict problems which had been recorded in 8 Policy Coordination White Papers.

This paper aims to explore the cause and aspect of inter-ministerial policy conflict and its coordination in science and technology policy-making with the case of science and technology basic law-making process in Korea. This law-making processes are analysed through the three periods for the last 10 years starting 1992, such as law-formulation(1st) period, interim law-making (2nd) period, and final law-making(3rd) period. Based on these steps, it tries to concretely describe the phenomenon of policy conflict and the coordination mechanism among government departments and analyses the characteristics of dynamic interaction and mutual adjustment among the related agencies. The analysis is mainly focussed on the underlying causes and determinants of policy conflict, the development and coordination process of the conflict, the strategies and logics of the conflict participants, and eliciting some policy implications for effective policy coordination among government departments. Research results are summarized as follows. First, in science and technology policy-making the main causes of policy conflict among government departments are attributed to the difference of policy-orientation and jurisdiction-orientation of each agency. During the first period, the main aspect of policy conflict was policy-oriented, during the second, the main aspects of policy conflict were both policy-oriented and jurisdiction-oriented, and during the third, policy-oriented conflict was dominant. Second, the dominant typology and strategies of policy coordination which the participants used were vertical-political and horizontal-analytic approach. During the first period, horizontal and analytical approach were used, during the second, horizontal and political approach are mixedly used, and during the third, vertical and political approach were dominantly used. Third, The Korean National Assembly and the ruling party played a pivotal role in science and technology policy-making process(the basic law-making process) in particular during the final period.

농촌개발에 관한 정책영역이 농촌공간 단위의 농업정책과 비농업정책을 포괄하는 방향으로 진행됨에 따라 관련된 농촌개발주체는 분산, 다기화되어 있다. 필리핀의 경우 농촌개발과 관련된 중앙정부의 관련부처는 상대적으로 세분화되어 있으며, NGO 등의 관련기구도 많은 편이다. 또한 필리핀의 지방행정계층의 수도 다른 나라에 비하여 상대적으로 많다. 이는 중앙정부 부처간, 중앙부처와 NGO 및 중앙정부와 지방정부간의 조정을 어렵게 하는 요인으로 작용한다. 한편, 지방정부 레벨에 있어서는 농촌개발과 관련된 관련주체간의 조정시스템에 관하여 지방정부법(1991)에 상세한 규정을 두고 있으나, 실제적인 작동의 면에서 한계를 가지고 있다. 특히, 필리핀의 농촌개발과 관련된 지방단위의 관련주체의 역량은 충분히 함양되지 못하고 있는 상황에서 주민과 NGO의 농촌개발에 대한 참여(민주성)를 매우 중시하고 있다. 필리핀 농촌의 발전을 위해서는 관련 주체들의 분산도를 감소시키고, 주체간의 통합성의 증진을 위한 노력이 필요하며, 관련 개별주체의 역량강화와 효율성에 입각한 조정체계의 정립과 전략이 절실히 요구되고 있다.

This study intends to present policy proposals to make the transition from policy adjustment system based on hierarchial authority to deal with energy policy to network establishment based on the central government, local government, industry and civic group, that can be converted into governance. To this end, the legal foundation to make the network-based policy adjustment for government's energy policy possible first. Second, contribution should be made to establish governance related to central government's energy policy. Third, contribution should be made to establish governance related to local government's energy policy. Based on this, this study intends to secure policy measures to establish and improve governance related to energy policy in Korea.

Recently policy coordination and integration have emerged as core challenges as complexity and uncertainty of policy. Especially as innovation and environment policy is expanding and its position is being further elevated within policy hierarchy, policy integration has emerged as core governance challenges for nation states. OECD countries emphasized the need of coordination and integration of policy by introducing concepts such as 'Environmental Policy Integration', 'the Third generation innovation policy', 'integrated innovation policy'. This study analysed the background, concepts, objects, mechanisms, and major issues of integrated innovation policy and various attempts for integrate innovation policy by policy level and cycle. Developing integrated innovation policies has become increasingly important for the EU and OECD countries in recent years. OECD countries including Finland have developed broader policy agendas for balancing policy objectives and aims of other policy sectors and horizontal relationships with other policy sectors. Policy integration helps to reorient policies where related policies are in conflict and to ensure coherence across different policy areas. Policy integration emphasizes long-term policy adjustment and adaptation based on social agreement and common vision.

This is to review the reform of the governance for science and technology advanced by the Noh Moo Hyun government. The reform mainly included introducing the vice premiership for science and technology, strengthening the coordinative function of the National Science and Technology Committee over the public R&D budget and programs, and establishing the Office of Science and Technology Innovation under the vice premier for science and technology. The reform aims to improve not only the policy coordinative mechanism but policy discourse mechanism over the enhanced science and technology policy. This paper argues that Noh Moo Hyun Government's reform of the governance for science and technology was not successful. The reason is that the reform targeted mainly to improve the policy coordination among government departments concerning science and technology policy. But it was nearly neglected to make effective the policy discourse mechanism linking the state actors and societal actors.

This study aims at the evaluation of procedural changes and policy outcome caused by the Open Method of Coordination(OMC) on Social Inclusion in the European Union. The policy instruments of the OMC introduced by the Lisbon Council can be divided into two groups: the outcome-oriented New Public Management(NPM) and the process-oriented Directly Deliberative Polyarchy(DDP). By considering the adoption process of the NPM instruments, it can be said that OMC could not be effective due to the vagueness of its objectives, the institutional barriers in decentralized decision-making, and the rejection of benchmarking by the Member States. The intended learning by deliberation and peer review as indicated by the normative DDP, is hard to achieve because they are not so reflexive due to relatively restricted and closed participation. We also cannot find any significant reduction of poverty after the long implementation of the OMC. Considering the higher recognition of poverty problem and expanding NGOs concerned with it, however, we may see some significant impact in the future.

현재 우리나라는 지식정보인프라 관련 정책, 제도, 계획 등을 종합조정하고 체계적으로 연계, 지원할 수 있는 국가단위의 조정체계가 확립되어 있지 못하다. 또한 관련 기관간의 정책협의, 조정을 위한 기능이 매우 미약하다. 또한 새롭게 변화하는 지식정보유통의 패러다임의 변화에 대한 공공부문의 대응이 선진국에 비해 매우 뒤처지고 있다. 이러한 점에서 지식정보인프라의 구축을 선도하기 위한 관련 선행연구 및 방법론 개발과 이를 통한 개념정립과 전략개발이 매우 시급하다고 하겠다.
