S&T policy has been traditionally regarded as a sector policy; however, it is now evolving into an infrastructure innovation policy that forms the foundation of diverse types of policies. Simultaneously, environmental and energy policies formerly considered as sector policies are now being expanded and integrated into a higher level policy for sustainable development. With these changes underway, the importance of policy integration has increased. Efforts are being made to minimize contradictions between environmental, social, and innovation policies that emphasize proactive linkage among policies or place the highest priority on environmental policy following the theory of Environmental Policy Integration (EPI). Confronted with these policy changes, the Lee Myung-bak government announced "Low-Carbon Green Growth" in 2008 as national agenda for development that focus attention on environmental and energy issues. Economic policy and environmental policy have been traditionally seen in a conflicting relationship with different paths of policy development. However, the administration of President Lee is now emphasizing the synergy effects between the environment and economic growth with the concept of green growth. The green growth policy of the Korean government has great significance as it has built a momentum for incorporating social goals such as environmental values or sustainable development into economic growth-oriented policies; however, there remain many challenges due to the legacy of the development period that has dominated Korean society. The Korean government says it reflects "EPI" or "environmentalism" in policy goals; however, in reality it prioritizes development over the environment.

본 논문은 녹색성장 정책의 도입과 집행과정에서 주요 행위자와 이들의 관계를 정책네트워크 이론을 적용하여 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 정책과정에서 나타나는 특징과 전략적 변화를 살펴보았다. 한국에서 녹색성장 정책은 대통령과 직속 기관을 중심으로 도입되고 추진되었으며, 단시간 내에 관련 법 제도 정비가 이루어지고 관련 조직이 설립되는 결과를 낳았다. 이는 주요 행위자로서 대통령과 직속기관을 중심으로 역할이 수행되고 영향력이 집중되었기 때문이다. '녹색성장'이라는 정책문제에 대한 대통령의 관심과 인식변화로 녹색성장은 국정 최우선 과제로 설정되었으며, 정책의 원활한 추진을 위한 자원의 재분배와 전략 수립, 관련 규범과 규칙 등에서의 변화를 수반했다. 결과적으로 새로운 법과 정책, 규제와 정부조직이 나타났으며, 이명박 정부에서 녹색성장은 매우 적극적이고 원활하게 수행되었다. 그러나 민간과 하위 정책행위자의 참여가 부족한 상황에서 상위 정책행위자 중심의 정부 주도로 정책이 추진됨에 따라 정책의 지속성이 약하다는 한계를 나타내기도 하였다. 결국 박근혜 정부가 들어선후, 대통령의 관심과 우선순위가 변경됨에 따라 녹색성장 정책은 주된 추동력을 상실하게 되었다.

The notion of green growth emerged in 2009. Since then, policy makers and practitioners have largely adopted the term. Although rather intermittently, there have been academic observations on green growth, with the term often being cited as a paradigm and a policy guide for generating new sources of growth. The most important reasons for the surge in green growth today as a new trend and an international agenda item are the rather unsatisfactory results and pitfalls of sustainable development, which has failed at promoting a tangible international environmental principle or a concrete policy framework. Green growth has been proposed as an alternative simultaneously to foster the dynamics of global environmental governance and to reinvigorate the world economy. This study examines to what extent green growth plays a complementary role in existing global environmental governance. Available evidence provides reasonable grounds for arguing that a positive outcome may well be expected from the evolution of green growth architecture and followed by practical policies. It became a global agenda out of a few influential national governments' control. However, decision makers in the leading countries, both developed and developing must be willing to continue implementing what has been discussed and agreed thus far, beyond changes in political leadership and administrations.

녹색성장정책은 환경(Green)과 성장(Growth)의 양립구조에서 벗어나 환경 그 자체를 새로운 성장동력으로 인식하고 환경과 성장의 선순환구조로 경제성장 패러다임을 전환시키는 것이다. 그러나 녹색성장정책은 국가에 따라 다소 상이하게 추진되므로 이러한 정책들을 살펴보고, 실제 일반인과 기업에서 이것을 어떻게 수용하는지 실증분석을 통하여, 우리나라 녹색성장전략을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실증분석 결과, 나타난 주요 시사점을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 녹색성장정책은 단순한 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 정책이 아닌 범국가적인 전략 추진이 필요하다. 둘째, 녹색성장정책의 핵심부문으로서 에너지정책을 규정하고 단기적으로 성과가 가능한 에너지 사용의 효율화를 적극 추진하여야 한다. 셋째, 녹색성장정책에 IT활용을 적극적으로 추진하여 보다 장기적인 성과에 초점을 둔 전략 개발이 필요하다. 넷째, 우리나라의 실행계획의 수립은 녹색성장정책 추진에 따른 효율성과 직접적인 관련이 있으므로 매우 신중한 접근이 요구된다. 다섯째, 녹색성장정책을 사회변혁정책으로 다루어 범국민적인 여론 형성을 마련하여야 한다.

To achieve the "low carbon green growth" vision, the first step is securing core technologies. Therefore, S&T policy direction for green technology development is urgently needed. As of 2008, investment in green technology (GT) development hovered around 10% of the government's total R&D budget. Thus, the Korean government developed a plan to increase that percentage to 15%, by 2013. To develop reasonable investment strategies for green technology development, targeted strategies that reflect technology and market changes by green technology area are needed. However, the overall planning and coordination of national GT development is currently split among, approximately, 10 government ministries. To establish an efficient green technology development system, the so-called "Green Technology R&D Council" should be launched in collaboration with the Presidential Committee on Green Growth and the National Science and Technology Council. Furthermore, to build a solid foundation for commercializing the outcomes of GT development projects and promote GT transfer, the government should undertake two initiatives. First, the government should reinforce GT R&D performance management, by establishing a GT R&D performance management and evaluation system. Second, the government should implement the "customized packaged support for promoting green technology business rights and commercialization" and present "e-marketplace for market-oriented green technologies". Creating a pan-ministerial policy for GT development policy would necessitate restructuring the HR(Human Resources) development system, which is currently separated by technology area. Based upon mid/long-term HR supply and demand forecasts, the government should design differentiated HR development projects, continuously evaluate those projects, and reflect the evaluation results in future policy development. Finally, to create new GT-related industries, the "Green TCS (Testing, Certification, and Standards) System" needs to be implemented. For objective evaluation and diffusion of R&D results by green technology area, a common standardization plan for testing, analysis, and measurement, like the "Green TCS", should be developed and integrated.

In this paper, we constructed a cognitive map of President Lee of Korea on the policy vision of green growth. This cognitive map is characterized by a scarcity of feedback loops and a strong emphasis on the positive loops. These characteristics can be understood by the fact that the green growth policy is to overcome the limits to growth coming from negative feedback loops. As a conclusion, we proposed a negative feedback loop approach to the green growth policy vision, which might minimize the side effects of positive loops.

To ameliorate a long-standing, persistent housing shortage in Korea, large-scale massive housing production has been an imperative, and the extensive growth highly values development and consumption. The state's priority for the quantitative growth of housing stock has proved to be successful, but the state faces with economic and environmental crises in a global era. To achieve the qualitative growth, the previous administration pronounced a green growth policy from the inception, and a series of strategic measures under a holistic plan have been taken widely and vigorously. As part of the strategies, the green home project was undertaken, and simultaneously the movement of green living led by the governance has been activated. However, little attention to the grassroots effort was paid and the efficacy hasn't been adequately addressed. This study examines the factors affecting green living of residents in multifamily housing. Based on public guidelines to green living, 106 specific items were drawn out and largely categorized into 6 areas (water, waste, transportation, air quality, consumption, and energy), and the questionnaire was constructed using them. Of 750 survey forms mailed out, 161 responses were returned and the collected data were used for statistical analysis. The findings indicated that varying degrees of green living was well practiced, the state-led green home project was relatively well recognized, and the green growth policy was strongly supported. Also the respondents' attitude toward green living were more associated with demographic variables than housing characteristics, and familiarity with green home project was related to attitudes toward green living. Since the on-going approach to green living has focused on simple and economical ways, it has proved to be effective but progressive strategies to make living greener are necessarily developed.

Green growth policy is essentially a dilemmatic policy, because it has two fundamental but conflicting values, environment vs. economy. In this paper, how the dilemma in the green growth policy is perceived by the policy maker is analyzed. Two approach is taken to analyze the dilemma perception by the policy maker, the president of Korea. The first approach is an analysis of policy statements by the president, and the second approach is a cognitive map analysis of his statements. This paper discusses the different findings between two approach and points out the potential power of the cognitive map in finding policy dilemmas.

최근 정부는 '녹색성장'의 기치 아래 일련의 에너지관련 계획과 전략들을 추진하고자 한다. 이러한 정부의 에너지 정책에 대해 여러 측면에서 비판적 검토가 있었지만 이러한 정책이 추동되는 구조적 배경에 대해서는 제대로 고찰되지 않았다. 이 논문은 현정부의 '녹색성장' 전략과 그 일환으로 추진되는 에너지정책을 신자유주의화과정으로 이해한다. 특히 정부의 에너지 정책은 에너지의 산업화, 시장화, 기술화, 금융화를 기본적 특성으로 하고 있으며 이로 인해 많은 세부 문제들을 유발하고 있다. 이러한 '녹색성장' 전략은 지속가능한 발전 모형과는 거리가 멀고 하비가 신자유주의화의 전형으로 제시한 '탈취에 의한 축적'의 개념으로 해석된다. 정부의 '녹색성장' 전략과 에너지 정책은 환경보전과 경제성장 간 모순 시장 메커니즘과 국가 개입 간 갈등을 중재할 수 있는 시민(사회)의 역할을 부정한다는 점에서 '녹색성장' 전략에 대한 대안은 시민이 참여하는 시민사회 주도형 에너지 정책을 지향해야 할 것이다.

최근 들어 녹색성장에 대한 관심이 전세계적으로 높아지고 있다. 한국의 정책 또한 녹색을 키워드로 삼아 정책의 방향성을 설정하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구는 한국의 녹색지수를 OECD 회원국과 상호 비교하여, 한국의 녹색현황과 향후 정책방향을 설정하는 것을 목적으로 삼는다. 정량분석 결과, 한국의 녹색지수는 OECD 회원국의 평균에 비해 상당히 낮은 것으로 평가되었으며, 향후 효율적인 녹색정책을 개발하기 위해서는 영국을 벤치마크 삼아야 함을 보여주었다. 방대한 자료를 사용하여 녹색지수를 개발하여 국별 상호비교를 수행했다는 점에서 본 연구의 기여도를 찾을 수 있다.
