韓國政治 硏究의 패러다임 모색과 그 문제점 : 이론적 논의에 대한 批判的 고찰 = A Critical Review on the Theoretical Argumentation for Studying Korean Politics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

From the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, the theoretical framework which Korean political scientists mainly relied upon was the developmentalist one. The developmenttalist models, formulated in the unlted States, had been applied without any qualification in studying politicalchange in Korea.
However, the developmentalist paradigm was too unilinearand formalistic in the sense that it projected an inflexible path of development, and regarded the developmental path of the West as a model for explaining political change in Korea. It reduced the concrete history and cultural tradition of Korea to the terms of a model or ideal type.
Thanks to a number of discussions among the Korean political scientists on the theoretical and empirical weakness of developmentalist paradigm in their efforts to explain Korean politics, new consideration of the counter-developmentalist paradigm and alternative models has recently arisen. Various efforts to seek alternative models are in a broad sense, based on the perspective of "dependency theory." But in more strict sense, theoseefforts fall within the catefory of argumentation about the "capitalis state" on the periphery, emphasizing assertive role on the part of the state. The fundamental promise of depenedcy perspective is that the chief force responsible for change in the Third World("periphery") is the power of economic imperialism generated by the capitalist "core."
A new approachusing these alternative models could broaden the view for observing and explaining the reality of political change. But in gereral, it is apt to overestimate the power of international system and underestimate the internal influence of korean society over its own sggsitd. Furthermore, it regards political change simply as the specific product of a conjunture of world capitalism and peripheral capitalist development. In this sense, it cannot transcend the limit of economism and class reductionism.
As above, the theoretical argumentation on Korean politics has been linked with two opposite paradigms; developmentalism and an anti-developmentalist perspective.The question, then, is how to open the door for a systhesis of opposite perspectives and seek a new paradigm. To meet this task, the theoretica debates for studying Korean politics should be multi-leveled diversified and more vigorous in from.
