공공갈등 조정과정에서 협치적 행위자의 중요성: 제주해군기지와 고리원전 1호기 갈등 경험을 통해서 보는 성산 제2공항 갈등조정의 가능성

Abstract

This article is an attempt to investigate what is the critical factor to solve out the public conflicts by inquiring into the reasons why the Jeju Marine Military Base(JMMB) has been the unsolved major conflict of Jeju society for the last 15 years, especially around the year of 2009. By comparing the successful mediation of Gori-1 nuclear reactor with the prolonged conflict case of the JMMB, the conflict was not easily settled down due to the decision-makers’ lack of motivation and involvement, governance as well as their tendency of imbalance and unilateralism. In the case of a military base like JMMB, it was critically important whether the president as the supreme commander of the miliary force should have the will, interest and perception of how to resolve the public conflicts. The JMMB was unilaterally concluded without any mediation process among the concerned parties since the president put the first priority on the early completion of it. The imbalance and unilateralism of decision-makers such as President, Minister and Governor forbad the meaningful share of the informations concerned the JMMB among the interested parties as well as their effective participation in the committee of conflict mediation. The experience of the long-range public conflict of the JMMB and the experience of successful mediation of the Gori-1 nuclear reactor provide a lesson on how to solve out the public conflicts observed in the construction of the second airport of Seongsan Town. It should be reminded that the mutual interests need to be mediated among the concerned parties with the credibility being ensured through their participation in the committee of conflict-mediation and open dialogue making sure that all the necessary information should be available.
