Toward Building Inclusive Administrative Institutions for Internalizing Conflicts

The administrative institutions of Korean government do not have a capacity to resolve the variety of public conflicts so that they tend to make easily worsening and take long period of time to the end. This paper finds the reasons of the lack of administrative institutions to deal with public disputes of the rigidity or closeness of them. Acemoglu and Robinson (2012) suggest that the prosperity or poverty of a nations depends on the inclusiveness of political institution and economic institutions. This paper would like to take their perspective of the inclusiveness of institutions that allows and motivate people to reveal their desires or voices. Many nations of the world in the 21st century have faced serious social problems of income inequality, unemployment, poverty, lacks of water and energy, financial instability, and restructuring that may put their people and society into conflicts. However, the governments have not played their expected roles to solve them so they have ever faced deep distrust from people. The government of Korean is no exception. The rigidity of the administrative institutions have not allowed the desires of stakeholders to participate in policy decisions. This paper suggests several conditions or factors to develop or design inclusive administrative institutions that may able to internalize public conflicts. Inclusive administrative institutions may have the following characteristics in their processes of citizens as partners, consensus building efforts, conceptual planning phases, deliberations and argumentation, joint-fact findings and interpretations, bureaucrats as process designer and managers, and trust building efforts.
