Abstract: This study examines the evolution of public policies for the social economy (SE) sector in South Korea. By employing qualitative analysis methods, the study comprehensively assesses 1,036 public policy measures, covering various types of SE organizations. The findings indicate a paradigm shift towards transformative policies, reflecting the movement into a new generation of SE policy. It also highlights the emergence of ‘New Public Governance’, characterized by pluralistic approaches in public management. This study enhances the understanding of government-led policies in the SE and their potential impacts, offering valuable insights for policymakers.
