한국 정부의 작전통제권 전환 결정 분석 = 대통령의 문제표현(problem representation)을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to suggest a framework for analyzing foreign policy problem representation and its determinants, and compare, employing the framework, the problem representations held by former Presidents Rho Tae-woo and Roh Moo-Hyun, about the transition to a new command relationship between U.S. and Korean forces. The analytical framework suggests that foreign policy decision-making is largely determined by antecedent problem representation, which, in turn, is the product of decision maker’s attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and experiences, and his(or her) images of other states, and pressure emanating from domestic political processes. The case-analyses shows that the two Presidents’ different decisions on the operational control transition can best be understood by first comparing their representation of the problem.
