Great Policy Failures, Public Administration’s Credibility, and Good Governance in Korea

Yong-Duck Jung

International Review of Public Administration, 2000, vol. 5, issue 1, 125-129

Abstract: The Korean government conducted many large-scale public projects which resulted in failure and even disaster. Their failures and side effects contributed much to a negative sentiment towards the public administration. To prevent such policy failures, and hence, to enhance the credibility of Korea’s public administration, the governance system must be reformed. Considering the policy failures, a better reform model for Korea is not the New Public Management or the Entrepreneurial Government (which emphasizes mainly achieving public sector efficiency by using market competition), but the Good Governance Model, which emphasizes achieving public sector legitimacy and accountability by effective use of the rule of law and democratic control.
