국방정책 결정과정 연계성 분석모델 제안: 국방혁신 4.0 사례분석을 중심으로

Abstract

Most previous research on the defense policy decision-making process has been conducted after the launch of a new government, so there are limitations in proving the connection between policy agenda selection and policy decisions. In order to overcome the limitations of previous studies, in this article the defense policy decision-making process is described as a policy task selection process from the establishment of presidential election pledges to the selection of national tasks before the launch of the new government, and as a policy decision-making process is described the national security strategy and defense policy plan after the launch of the new government. The newly proposed model as an analysis model for the connectivity of each process is a “Defense Policy Decision-Making Process Linkage Analysis Model”. To verify the effectiveness of this analysis model proposed by Hong Junki and Park Sangjung, a case study was conducted on the ‘Defense Innovation 4.0’ policy decision-making process promoted by the Yoon Seok-yeol government. In order to in-depth analyze the relationship between policy agenda selection and the policy decision-making process, it was divided into four stages: ① Establishment of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign pledge, ② Selection of national tasks by the Presidential Transition Committee, ③ Development of National Security Strategy of the Presidential Office (National Security Office), ④ Establishment of the Ministry of National Defense’s ‘Defense Innovation 4.0 Basic Plan’ The 'Defense Innovation 4.0' policy was adopted as a presidential election pledge in the defense field by President Yoon Seok-yeol as a policy initiator and defense policy experts who participated in the presidential election campaign and the presidential transition committee. It was adopted in the policy task selection process, reflecting changes in the defense environment and the president's will. Afterwards, it was selected as a national affairs task and confirmed as a government task. After the launch of the new government, 'Defense Innovation 4.0' was reflected in the national security strategy through the policy-making process and was also reflected in defense policy of the ‘Defense Innovation 4.0 Basic Plan’. As a result, the Yoon Seok-yeol Administration's ‘Defense Innovation 4.0’ confirmed the policy implications of close consistency throughout the policy-making process.
