地方自治團體間 協力事業活性化 方案에 관한 硏究 = (A) Study of Alternatives to Promoting Cooperative Projects Among Local Governments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is designed to provide a variety of alternatives to promote cooperative projects among local governments. The study starts from the presumption that intergovernmental collaboration at regional and local level can be a useful mean to create mutual benefits, both visible and invisible, in various regional development projects that aim to strengthen competitiveness of region. Interregional cooperation that can contribute to social cohesion and territorial integration as well as to share experiences among regions is encouraged in Korea and many advanced countries including the European Union.
The study is composed of fifth chapters. The first chapter describes the background, objectives, scope and methods of the study. The second chapter discusses conceptual basis and theoretical background of interregional cooperation. The third chapter examines presents framework of the study and a detailed analysis on the cases of intergovernmental cooperation for regional development. The fourth chapter presents new paradigms and policy directions for intergovernmental cooperation. The fifth chapter presents a summary, limitation and future areas of research.
Unlike most previous studies relying on theoretical and conceptual approach, this study develops and employs a detailed analytic method on the mechanism of interregional cooperation. Mechanisms for success and that for failure are drawn from in-depth analysis of projects of interregional cooperation that are already finished or currently undergoing. Spatial scope of intergovernmental cooperation includes inter-local, inter-regional and local-regional cooperation projects. Key research method is a series of interview with regional and local governments' employees.
Inter-governmental cooperation can be defined as intentional activities seeking mutual benefits among regions (or governments) through a division of role to make plan or implement specific projects for regional development. Theories of intergovernmental cooperation include intergovernmental relationship model, negotiation theory, exchange model, process model of cooperation, partnership model and economies of system, cooperation of inter-regional. This study aims to establish core factor by combining related theories and results of analysis.
Two projects are selected for detailed examination on the mechanism of interregional cooperation. They include the construction project of a bridge connecting Yeongnam and Honam province, the project to build a health belt across Jeonnam and Jeonbuk provinces.
Implications from the analysis of the two cases are summarized as follows. First, selection of cooperation project should focus on the possibility of success. Second, recognizing importance of cooperation and leadership are also critical elements for success. Third, effective partnership and clear role sharing among participants are indispensable for success. Fourth, fruits of cooperation should be visualized and shared among participants. Five, a common belief on the necessity for interregional cooperation and on the effect of regional government through multilateral cooperation is important motivation for success. Sixth, institutional support is necessary for coordination of interests and smoothly implementation.
Interregional cooperation requires specific policy measures. Important policy measures are suggested to promote interregional cooperation in Korea. First, both relevant means for implementing project and useful alternatives in relation to the establishment of infrastructure and institution building are suggested to promote intergovernment cooperation. Above all, an emphasis is put upon cognitive transformation concerning cooperative projects possessed by the CEO and public officials. To delete negative views and enhance cooperative wills, a consistent education system is required for bringing up positive values and attitudes. As a means of this, intergovernmental cooperative programs including information exchange and overseas training are needed. New means of intergovernmental cooperative projects such as pre-agreement, Information Open Pooling and Management, are also suggested to compensate shortcomings of the present cooperative projects system.
Second, a new policy program focusing on interregional cooperation needs to be introduced. Intergovernmental cooperation for regional development projects requires institutional supports that should be provided by the central government. Existing policies can only provide legal basis for cooperation, lacking measures to support local and regional government. Interregional cooperation program needs to include such factors as the type of cooperation, areas of cooperation, devices securing cooperation, effective implementation system and supports from central government.
Enactment of new law such as inter-local cooperation act or inter-governmental cooperation act needs to be considered as the legal basis for the new policy program. In addition, it is necessary to establish the implementation system and assistance of the central government through the revision of existing laws such as the special act for balanced national development and the local autonomy act. Another important area that needs consideration is conflict resolution and mutual agreement, which needs readjustment of existing system and creation of coordination structure. A contractual system of regional development projects between central and local governments, inter-local or interregional governments can promote interregional cooperation.
The central government and regional (or local) governments have to play their role for interregional cooperation. The central government, although not a direct participant, should reform institutional and administrative foundations for financial assistance, settlement of conflicts and formation of consensus.
Local and regional governments have to develop cooperation projects that are important for regional development and have higher chances of success. Establishment of intra-regional as well as inter-regional partnership is essential for the success of cooperation. Last part is to enhance local governments' capabilities for administration and finance. Decentralization of the central government's power and mutual learning of participants are also important agenda for sustainability of interregional cooperation.
