Since Kim Dajung became the president of South Korea in February 1998, he has proposed two policy agendas. First, he draws aid from the International monetary Fund in order to reform the South Korean economic structure. Second, he has gone beyond the traditional bureaucratic system and established an independent organization to carry out political reform. Judging from recently released economic indicator, South Korea is among the countries recovering most rapidly from the Asian financial crisis. Kim's reforms thus seem to have made significant advancements. The primary goal of this paper is to use the Bureau-Pluralist approach to observe the relationship between the state and business in analyzing Kim Dajung's reformation. The author concludes that the primary reasons behind Kim's success are as follows: First, he does not go through traditional bureaucratic channels. Second, he is reestablishing a new monitoring system. As result, Kim's reformation is fundamentally reshaping South Korea's political economic institutions that had been established by Park Chung-hee. |
