도시 거버넌스와 통치엘리트 = 시민의식조사를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Without democratization of local power elites, it is hard to see democracy in action at local government. Based on this perspective, this study attempts to analyze governing elites who are power elites in urban governance, a new model in local politics. This research employs a civic attitude survey method. Samples are separated into two groups: official vs. non-official governing elites. Local politicians, local government bureaucrats belong to a group called “official” governing elites, while “non-governing” power elites indicate local power elites such as new or old moneys in the local community. This paper analyzes civic attitudes on official governing elites, in term of their influence on local policy making process, qualifications for a governing elite, and qualification for running for a public office. The questionnaire on non-official governing elites asks question on being-recognition, occupation recognition, local influence and reform ideas. Of course, results of this analysis may show different from practical implementation of urban governance, and not contain all of informations and materials for analysis on urban governance. However, this study provides a foundation to develop a framework for analyzing local politics in Korea, by understanding civic response and their perspectives on governing elites.
