민주화 이후 한국정치의 갈등구조와 전망 = 공간이론과 2002년 대통령선거

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The democratic-authoritarian conflict structure which constituted the most dominant dimension under the authoritarian regime has been displaced by a non-policy conflict structure, i.e., regionalism, since the 1987 Korean democratization. Meanwhile, the generational differences over some policy issues related to North Korea and the administrative capital newly emerged during the 2002 presidential election. This article examines by utilizing an empirical spatial model whether such policy-related conflictual phenomena can be developed into conflict displacement, often found in the process of democratic consolidation. The analysis informs us that the regional conflict structure still remains as the most dominant dimension and, in result, conflict displacement in Korean politics has been delayed. It also finds out that the generational conflict, under this condition, appears to form a subordinate dimension which interacts with and parallels to the regional conflict structure in terms of spatial theory.
