Book excerpt: The aim of the study is to investigate how Korean water resources management policy has evolved in the last two decades of the twentieth century. Environmentally considerate and sustainable priorities emerged as a serious challenge to the development priorities of water resources policy makers. The challenge was particularly strong in the water sector where water management professionals and civil engineers have dominated and continue to dominate Korean water policy-making. The study will trace how public concern for the services provided by the environment gradually gained prominence and support. A number of active campaigns and demonstrations were mounted in Korea during the 1990s, with a view to foregrounding environmental priorities in the water sector. These campaigns have been coordinated by national environmental NGOs. Two case studies are presented to show how major infrastructure projects have provoked anti-dam campaigns in Korea. In the Yong-wol region between 1998 and 2000 evidence emerged of the influence that environmental activists were having on civil society. The nature of the civil transformation is analysed and how it impacted the government's dam construction policy-making processes. Secondly, the impact of typhoon Rusa in August 2002 is reviewed, to provide evidence of the new directions adopted on flood control. It will be shown that the engineering-oriented approach shifted to take into account non-structural and environmental priorities. The ideas of environmental activists moved the public discourse in the media and in civil society more generally. The importance of the environmental services provided by water resources was also gradually reflected in the discourse amongst water professionals in government institutions.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report, building on a policy dialogue with a range of stakeholders in Korea, analyses how economic policy instruments under the responsibility of the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport can be adjusted to contribute to water policy objectives. It also investigates how Smart Water Management Korea, an initiative by K-water that combines information and communication technology with water technology, can be harnessed to better contribute to water management in the country. Finally, it identifies some of the limitations of prevalent water allocation regimes which need to be addressed to make the best use of available water resources. Since 1965, the Korean Government has invested heavily in quantitative development strategies to meet water needs, and despite highly variable water availability, this has allowed for and facilitated rapid urbanisation and economic growth. However, several long-term trends are expected to affect the capacity of the current water management system to adequately respond to current and future water risks, such as rapid ageing of the population, fiscal consolidation and climate change. These call for a renewed emphasis on water use efficiency.

Book Synopsis The Transformation of South Korea by : Robert Bedeski
Download or read book The Transformation of South Korea written by Robert Bedeski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Korea underwent rapid economic development under a semi-military, virulently anti-communist government which banned trade unions and kept close checks on the economy. President Roe Tae Woo has, however, since 1987, introduced electoral and social reforms. Strikes and wage rises have followed, leading to a loss of competitive edge, and the growth of opposition parties has resulted in political stalemate. Robert E. Bedeski provides a thorough analysis of the institutions of government in South Korea and how they have been transformed by the introduction of political pluralism, and of the attempt to liberalize without undermining economic success. He also examines the new political parties and their role within the framework of the South Korean political system, as well as their social context. State reforms are compared with developments in Taiwan, the Phillipines, North Korea, China and the former Soviet Union. The major themes of state-building an deconomic development are thoroughly explored. The author also deals with South Korea's international environment and changing foreign policy.

Book Synopsis Water Policy and Institutions in the Republic of Korea by : Namsoo Lee
Download or read book Water Policy and Institutions in the Republic of Korea written by Namsoo Lee and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reviews the water policies and institutions for water management in the Republic of Korea over a 50-year period during which the country developed from a war-torn nation into one of the 10 largest economies in the world. The Republic of Korea's water policy commenced in the form of comprehensive water resources development projects starting with basin investigations in the 1960s after the Korean War. The comprehensive development projects included large-scale dams and water control projects in major rivers in the 1970s and 1980s. The concept of eco-friendly water resources management was born in the 1990s, and the focus on water supply and/or control moved to sustainable water management including stream environment preservation in the 2000s. Since 2010, the policy has focused on coping with climate change and advancing the water management system. The paper provides lessons for developing countries that otherwise prioritize investment in roads, transportation, communication, and electricity ahead of water. The experience of the Republic Korea shows that water should also be regarded as a necessity both for the citizens' daily lives and industrial activities.
Book Synopsis Comparative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Decisional Change by : Jinsuhk Suh
Download or read book Comparative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Decisional Change written by Jinsuhk Suh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some scholars contend that Korean water policy processes are shifting from a highly centralized manner to a more locally devolved one. Over the decades observers have cited major drivers of South Korea's national water policy reform: 1) Economic growth, 2) Political change, 3) Social change, 4) Environmental change, 5) Technological advance, and 6) International pressure. However, these influences may not be fully sufficient to explain demands for further decisional change in local communities because most policy decisions and processes are still controlled and managed by central government organizations. We still have limited understanding of what specific factors are most influential in the process of decisional change, how they are related to drivers of water policy conflicts in the context of South Korea, and how this decisional change may affect national water policy decisions. Studies of decisional change and its major causes have been underexplored in the recent large water projects. This study looks at the process of agenda-setting to explore to answer the research question. The dataset includes archival documents, participant observations, and interviews with 36 key informants and 5 local ENGOs and CBOs. This study analyzes these data within cases and across cases to answer the question. A comparative case study research design is employed to analyze three large water projects which have been changed from their original plans. This study found that five potentially influential factors were evident in the process of decisional change; 1) stakeholder groups, especially competing pro- and anti-development groups, 2) professional experts, 3) mass media coverage, 4) politicians' self-interest, and 5) resource dependence. This study informs policy scholars, social scientists, practitioners, and policy-makers who seek to establish sustainable environmental policies and understand the factors that lead the government to change policies toward sustainable use of water resource. Also, it helps understand the progress of South Korea's water governance by suggesting a more collaborative process that promotes global sustainability. Therefore, this study is relevant to environmental policy processes that other newly democratized and developing countries go through in deciding to modify their original development policies related to their resources in response to environmental NGOs' actions.

Book Synopsis Transformations in the Brazilian and Korean Processes of Capitalist Development between the Early 1950s and the Mid-2010s: From Global Capital Accumulation to Late Industrialisation by : Nicolás Grinberg
Download or read book Transformations in the Brazilian and Korean Processes of Capitalist Development between the Early 1950s and the Mid-2010s: From Global Capital Accumulation to Late Industrialisation written by Nicolás Grinberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging mainstream nation-centred theories of economic development, Nicolás Grinberg examines the specificities of capitalist development in Brazil and South Korea by starting from their modes of participation in the international division of labour and hence in the production of surplus value on a global scale. Contrary to those theories, he does not consider these as resulting simply from the economic policies of nation states and their associated political institutions; nor from local class-struggle dynamics or geopolitical developments. Rather, drawing on key insights from Marx’s critique of political economy, his analysis begins by recognising that the process of capitalist development is global in terms of its economic dynamics and historical trends, and national only in its political and institutional forms of realisation. State-mediated patterns of economic development and institutional change in Brazil and Korea, as well as the intra- and inter-state political processes through which these have come about, are then considered mediations in the conformation and reproduction of the nationally differentiated, uneven process of capital’s valorisation on a global scale.

Book Synopsis The Functional Transformation of Courts by : Jiunn-rong Yeh
Download or read book The Functional Transformation of Courts written by Jiunn-rong Yeh and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global expansion of judicial powers makes no exception to Asia. Most noticeable is the judicial expansion in tandem with unprecedented political and legal reforms that have occurred in the two Asian new democracies – Taiwan and South Korea. Having shared a great deal of similarities in colonial legacy, economic development and global competition, both Taiwan and South Korea became good examples of fast-growing economies with successful democratic transitions. In the context of transition, Courts in Taiwan and Korea are expected to independently resolve disputes to place checks and balances with political powers and safeguard individual rights and freedoms. This book looks into court's function in constitutional, regulatory, civil, commercial, and criminal matters by making Taiwan and Korea in comparison.
Book Synopsis Environmental Cooperation as a Tool for Conflict Transformation and Resolution by : Šárka Waisová
Download or read book Environmental Cooperation as a Tool for Conflict Transformation and Resolution written by Šárka Waisová and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmentalists and advocates of environmental cooperation in conflict frequently discuss certain environmental cooperation project proposals such as the establishment of the Peace Park in the demilitarized zone on the North-South Korean border, the Indo-Pakistani Peace Park on the Siachen Glacier, the joint system of trans-boundary environmental protection between Thailand and Cambodia, and the joint management of Palestinian and Israeli water resources. These proposals, however, are by no means isolated. The idea that the development of environmental cooperation in conflict areas can create a bridge between conflict communities and help conflict transformation and resolution is almost two decades old. Declarations of cooperation between conflict communities and bringing the potential for peaceful relationships into conflict areas through joint environmental projects appear in the agendas of several international governmental and non-governmental organizations. However, our knowledge of the “real” workings of environmental cooperation in conflict zones does not correspond with the popularity of these thoughts and actions. Although environmental cooperation has been initiated in many conflict areas, the differences in individual cases are so large that, so far, there is neither accurate data nor any idea of the workings of environmental cooperation as a tool for conflict transformation. This book addresses some of these issues and offers several new findings. Specifically, it examines the emergence of environmental cooperation and its function in political conflicts. It concludes that not all environmental cooperation is real cooperation and not all real cooperation is favorable. The scope, form, and content of cooperation are important to the peacebuilding potential of environmental cooperation, and there are multiple intervening factors such as motivation of actors, their value preferences, and duration of the support of external actors.
