The purpose of this article is to explain the difference in prosecutorial independence between Taiwan and South Korea. In this article, we carry out a dynamic analysis framework of the prosecutorial independence. In terms of the prosecutorial system, political institutions, political structure, and political competition, we also mark the difference between Taiwan and South Korea, following the political democratization in the late 1980s. With a thorough analysis of the empirical data, we find that political power turnover, the prosecutor's salary safeguard, and position protection cannot lead to prosecutorial independence. In conclusion, we think checks and balances as well as separation of power, can ensure prosecutorial independence. |
