  • This study investigates the problems of welfare decentralization reform implemented by Roh Mu-Hyun Administration and examines a policy direction for improving the decentralization. The reform has caused various problems. Local governments have suffered from heavy financial burden. Some social services, devolved into local governments, have not adequately provided as before. In addition, fiscal disparity among localities has increased. To deal with these problems, experts have proposed several plans, such as restoring the devolved programs to national subsidy programs, inventing a new social welfare grant, or introducing block grants. This study suggests that some of the devolved welfare programs should be restored to the national subsidies, since they cannot be maintained properly by local governments. Also, we need to adjust financial responsibilities between the central and local government in the national subsidy programs. Introducing block grant can be one satisfying solution to enhance local autonomy while maintaining the financial responsibility of central government. In some national subsidy programs, the financial contribution by the central government should be increased to alleviate financial burden of local governments.

  • The balance between centralization (power concentrated nationally) and decentralization (power devolved to local government) is a perennial issue in the field of social welfare administration. In the design of social welfare administration, values and assumptions related to decentralization and centralization generally are expressed in choices concerning pluralism versus uniformity, small versus large. In this context, this article tried to find and analyze the problems of financial decentralization of social welfare pursued by No Moo-hyun government. The decentralization of social welfare caused horizontal inequity between local governments, lack of social welfare finance of local government, and impediment of local government finance autonomy.

  • 오늘날의 과학기술은 국가전체의 경쟁력 강화는 물론, 지역의 산업과 경제를 발전시키고 국가의 균형발전을 도모하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 지역경제 활성화의 주역인 중소 벤처기업을 육성하고, 지역산업을 체계적으로 발전시키며, 지역주민의 생활편의 향상을 위한 각종 지역개발 사업을 추진함에 있어서 과학기술이 핵심적인 요소이자 중요 수단으로서 기능하고 있기 때문이다. 이에 따라, 각 국가들은 1970년대 이후 지방의 과학기술을 육성하고 지원하기 위한 지방과학기술정책을 지속적으로 수립하여 추진해 나가고 있다. 우리나라의 지방과학기술정책이 실질적으로 수립되고 추진된 것은 1990년대 초반 이후 과학기술이 지역경제 활성화를 위한 유효한 수단으로 인식되기 시작하면서 경제 관련 부처를 중심으로 지역과 연계한 각종 사업들을 추진하면서 부터라고 할 수 있다. 특히 과학기술의 지방화 내지 과학기술 지방분권에 관한 논의와 정책적 노력은 1995년에 도입된 지방자치제도의 본격적인 시행과 함께 이루어졌다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 그 진전과 발전은 아직도 여전히 미흡한 상황이다. 이는 과학기술의 연구개발과 진흥이라는 정책의 특성에 기인하기도 하지만, 지방자치단체 스스로 관련 정책을 수립하고 추진할 수 있는 기반과 여건이 제도적인 측면에나 실제적인 측면에서 매우 취약하였던데 그 원인이 있는 것으로 분석된다. 이 글은 과학기술의 지방분권을 강화하여야 한다는 최근의 사회적 논의와 관련하여 지방과학기술정책의 발전을 위한 방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해, 그동안의 지방과학기술정책 추진현황 및 지역의 과학기술 혁신기반과 역량을 살펴보고, 앞으로 지방 스스로가 지역의 과학기술혁신정책을 수립하고 집행할 수 있는 역량과 기반을 강화하는데 필요한 제도적 과제들을 검토하여 제시하였다.

  • In both elections of 1997 and 2001, Tony Blair of the Labour Party won #10 of Downing Street. This political success had to do with regionalism and was particular due to the devolution policy that was supported by non English citizens. However, there are negative voices about this policy which tries to cope with regional conflicts by decentralizing the central political power. The paper aims to examine the current regionalism movements and the devolution policy in Britain. For this purpose, the nation-building processes of the United Kingdom and various reactions to these processes, especially regional ethnic conflicts are discussed. And the study finally investigates the future perspectives of the devolution policy and its implications for both regionalism and the national-regional developments in Britain.

  • Starting from the agenda that we should determine the function of local government at each level in order to facilitate decentralization, this article is dedicated to demonstrating problems in the practice of Korean legislation today. On the one hand, in the "local autonomy act", the local governments' function is designated by the term "affairs of local governments" which includes autonomous duites and the duties delegated by the State to local governments. Meanwhile, all of acts by which governments are granted the power of execution, upon the principle of "the reservation of law", does not distinguish the nature of each authority as well. On the other hand, as regards the legal status of the territorial collectivity, the practice in the legislation does not clearly distinguish between territorial representation and national delegation. If we want to achieve the decentralization, we should reevaluate and determine EVERY authority and responsibility of administrative service in terms of its nature whether it is for the local diversity or for the standardization of public service in the State. In following, we should have the terminology by which we can designate the territorial collectivity which is distinguished from the national organ at the local level in the legislation.
