왜 지금 다시 내발적 발전인가?: 일본 내발적 발전론의 시대조응과 국내 발전적 전개를 위한 시사

Abstract

This paper examined the historical development and criticism of endogenous development theory (EDT) in Japan, and explored how to apply a critical approach to domesticization in contemporary times. EDT in Japan can be classified into 5 categories: 1) sociological approach, 2) region development approach, 3) region promotion approach, 4) regional institutional approach, and 5) cooperation-oriented approach. Critical opinions in Japan gives implication as follows. First, it is how to respond to the duality of the loose logic. It is an obstacle to academic development but theoretical advancement could be also an obstacle to the practices. We need to be wary of unconditional acceptance of Endogenous and Development, but be flexible about elaborate theorization. Second, it is necessary to expand through exchanges and connections with resources outside the region. Nowadays, Japan pays attention to the examples of the urban regeneration connecting outside-resources. Korean EDT needs to promote theoretical expansion along with the time-change by using inside-outside resources. Third, we need to make a discourse as an innovative change movement to overcome the reality while reflecting the reality. Recently the Regional Circulation Economy movement has begun in Korea. Korea has a relatively short history of grassroots democracy and residents’ autonomy, so providing a discourse for local movements will contribute to Korean EDT.
