사회적경제기본법(안)에 대한 고찰 — 정책 추진체계를 중심으로 —

Abstract

From the 19th National Assembly to the present, studies on the need for legislation and general regulations related to the Framework Act on Social Economy (draft) that have been continuously submitted to the National Assembly have been actively conducted. However, in-depth research or discussion on the governance system corresponding to the core issue has not been conducted. This paper reviews the current social economy governance system and critically examines whether the governance system in the Framework Act on Social Economy (draft) can solve existing problems and bring results consistent with the legislative purpose. The major problems of the social economy governance system that have been raised so far can be summarized as policy partitions by department, lack of connectivity between central and local governments, waste of administrative power, and insufficient ecosystem creation. This can be summarized as a discussion on policy connection and policy enforcement system. In this regard, this paper reviewed the current governance system by dividing it into policy relevance and policy enforcement system, focusing on the current legal system related to major social economy organizations. As a result of critically examining the governance system under the Framework Act on Social Economy (draft), the basic plan for the overall social economy was established in connection with the regional development plan for each city and province and the development plan for each sector, thereby establishing policy linkages vertically and horizontally. It is expected to bring results consistent with the legislative purpose. However, the role of the Social Economy Committee is not very different from that of the current Special Committee on Social Economy, and to fulfill its role, supplementation is required, such as imposing practical obligations. The establishment of the Social Economy Center, which is the most controversial in the policy enforcement system, should be comprehensively succeeded to the Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency (KoSEA), but a way to utilize the expertise of the metropolitan social economy support center established and operated according to the ordinance should be sought. Since the Framework Act on Social Economy (draft) was proposed based on the need for integration policies and systematic support for various types of social economy organizations, it is expected that studies on the establishment of a governance system will be actively conducted after the legislation.
