Based on the assumption that civic organizations may work as the most effective institution for non-schooling citizenship education for adults, this paper examines whether and how much Korean civic groups have played a constructive role in building citizen capacity to participate responsibly and effectively in democratic politics. Its conclusion is that Korean civic groups` decision to disobey the election law decreased rather than increased a capacity for responsible citizenship.
