의약분업 정책변화에 대한 연구 - 정책옹호연합모형을 적용하여 - = The Study on Policy Change of Prescription/Pharmacy Separation through the Application of Advocacy Coalition Framework

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Advocacy Coalition Framework(ACF) have been applied to many foreign policy cases to analyze the process of policy change over several decades. This study used the ACF approach to analyze the policy change of prescription/pharmacy separation (PPB) to the present since the PPS had first been inserted into the Drugs. Cosmetics and Medical Instruments Law in 1963. The basic premises in the ACF model are perceived in this PPS policy case :1) the change of PPS policy is an interaction of policy advocacy coalitions, 2) relatively stable parameters and dynamic external perturbations affecting policy subsystems are explored, 3) policy-oriented learning across belief systems of different coalitions is understood as one of important factors bringing about incremental policy change over several decades in PPS. The ACF model as an alternative approach to the traditional policy analysis method (the stages model) is confirmed as the very useful framework in explaining policy change of PPS.
