The Experience of Democracy and Bureaucracy in South Korea

Korean scholars of public administration and civic education seek definitions and examples of good public administration. Among their topics are revisiting bureaucratic dysfunction: the role of bureaucracy in democratization, rediscovering Korea''s local bureaucracy: the unsung players in the nation''s democratization process, the supreme audit institution and democracy: the function of the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea for democratization, public procurement policy in South Korea: approaches to sustainable development and anti-corruption, and the ceiling strategy as policy: limited bureaucratic expansion and democratization. This title explores ways in which bureaucracy may not only be compatible with democracy but, more ambitiously, the conditions under which it can enhance it, examining the systems and institutions of the Korean bureaucracy: the National Election Commission, the police force, local government, the ceiling recruitment strategy, and procurement policy.
