현행 주민소환제도의 운용에 대한 평가와 개선 과제

Abstract

In general, any organization or organization that operates as a specific task or member will agree with the fact that transparency and accountability increase when the monitoring or supervisory procedures are conducted in multiple stages. Despite the many positive aspects of the current representative democracy, negative aspects have also been found in securing accountability of elected representatives. As a result, the method of direct participation of residents in the operation of local administration has been continuously discussed, and various systems for participation of residents are prescribed. In order for the local autonomy system to provide a substantial foundation, it must be promoted in terms of the activation of residents' autonomy. To this end, local autonomy must be made an essential part of resident participation, and through such a process, the value can be realized when resident participation is institutionalized. In particular, residents' self-government as a constitutional principle is not only a representative resident participation, but also a direct democratic resident participation suitable for the democracy of local autonomy, so direct participation of residents in the local autonomy system compensates for the defects of the representative democracy and the people. It is responsible for the practical realization of sovereignty. The direct participation of residents in these local administrations provided an opportunity for active and practical participation of the residents in local issues, and laid the foundation for increasing the efficiency and transparency of local administrations in various fields such as systems and policies. It is also undeniable that it has led residents to increase their sovereignty awareness and participation in increased administration up to the present, and has contributed greatly to the development of local democracy. However, as the decentralization and local autonomy expanded systematically, the authority of elected officials, such as the heads of local governments and local councils, was strengthened. Questions have been continuously raised about the system for the containment and monitoring of actual residents. As part of this, the Resident Summoning System controls the illegal or unfair acts of the heads of local governments and local councils who are elected local officials and local officials, abuses of duties, or abuse of authority, and expands direct participation of residents, so that the policies and administrative treatment of residents' residents In order to increase the democracy and accountability of local government administration, promote the welfare of residents, and overcome the limitations of representative democracy so as not to contradict the intention, the Act on Resident Summons was enacted in 2006 and was enacted in July 2007. Has been implemented since. The resident recall system has a very important meaning in the democratic political process as a mechanism for controlling local administration by direct participation of residents along with the referendum system. Therefore, the Resident Summoning System is inseparable from the representative system, and is particularly meaningful in that it is a necessary system for supplementing the problems of the representative system and internalizing the local government system.
