통일시대에 대비한 남북지방자치단체간 교류협력을 위한 법이론적 고찰

Abstract

The unification policy, including the establishment of a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula, has been centered on the central government and has been recognized as a political task. However, if we recognize the importance of local autonomy and national consensus based on democracy, participation and contribution of local governments are needed in part of Inter-Korean Exchanges and Cooperation. If it will be formed that exchanges and cooperation relationship between South Korean local governments and North Korean local administration, enable more free and more routine and regional exchange and cooperation in the grassroots level. It is very important that Inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation among local governments not only for denuclearization of Korean Pennisula and peace construction but also implementation of local autonomy in North Korea area after unification. Therefore, it is a urgent for legal and institutional research on Inter-Korean Grass-Roots Exchanges and Cooperation. It is possible that South Korea's local governments will pursue Inter-Korean Grass-Roots Exchanges and Cooperation in range of autonomous affairs with principle of own responsibility. Considering importance of the Inter-Korean Grass-Roots Exchanges and Cooperation and the legal theoretical analysis, there is a need for South Korea's local governments to cooperate with the central government. should be established at the governance level. It is a necessity that legal basis in order to implement Inter-Korean Grass-Roots Exchanges and Cooperation, because Inter-Korean Grass-Roots Exchanges and Cooperation should be subject to statute reservation. In this regard, there are two different ways, for one thing is a statute revision, for another thing is making a new statute. This should be solved not only in legal research, but also in connection with other interdisciplinary fields.
