다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Exchanges and cooperations between East and West Germany`s local governments had played on important role in the reunification of the two different countries especially in promoting mutual understanding. Moreover these exchanges was very helpful to teach East German people about democracy system. After Unification, the administrative and financial supports of the West Germany`s local governments to former East German areas also was very useful to develop self autonomy system in those areas. Meanwhile, for the last 10 years, there were also a lot of exchanges and cooperations between North and South Korea`s local governments. Dealing with these exchanges more systematically, local governments had issued many regulations. But in the law level, the current laws regulating exchanges and cooperations between North and South Korea lacked care in the role of local governments in the course of Korea reunification. Therefore it is necessary to redesign the legal system to support and promote the role of local governments in unification affairs.
