참여정부 출판정책의 허실과 발전방안

The guidelines for the development of the present government's publishing policy

This study reviews the present government's policy of publishing and presents the guidelines for the development of the publishing policy. The publishing policy of Korea was in general centered on restriction and control until the 6th Republic, after which it has changed toward promotion of publishing. The present government's policy succeeded to this basic tone, but in fact has not produced satisfactory results. These are the guidelines presented for the continuous expansion and development of the promotion-centered publishing policy. First, the central tone of the promotion-centered policy should be maintained and expanded. Second, the ties between academic fields, industries and the government should be intensified. Especially, the participation of the academic fields in the policy-making or in its implementation should be promoted. Third, there should be a policy-based support for the exchange of scholars and publications between the North and South Korea in terms of books exposition or academic seminars. Fourth, there should be a support for the development of publishing studies and also in the publishing-related departments in the colleges. Fifth, legal and systematic devices for the promotion of publishing should be continuously revised in concrete matters. Sixth, the supporting system for excellent academic publications should be changed from the present symbolic level into a financially substantial system. Finally, more support should be given to the reading education at home, in schools and in the society as a whole.
