Local Governance in Northeast Asia: Tasks and Prospects

Ik-Sik Kim

International Review of Public Administration, 2000, vol. 5, issue 2, 115-127

Abstract: With the fundamental shift in the direction of development among the developing countries, the challenge of creating a new system of governance has been increasing. Still the concept of governance has not been articulated yet. Thus an effort was made here to clarify the meaning of governance and its relationships with decentralization. And then the framework of local governance was applied to three Northeast Asian countries to analyze their system and to draw some implications for the future directions. The achievement of governance at the local level cannot be possible without the shift of power through decentralization. But at the same time decentralization will not be effective unless an effort is made to strengthen local governance.
