우리나라 사무구분체계의 개선방안 - ‘법정수임사무(가칭)’의 도입을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The classification system of public affairs South Korea government employs have several problems the excess of central government affairs, implicit central control over the consigned affairs, the ambiguous classification of public affairs in frontline work place, insufficient financial support for the consigned affairs etc. This study is designed to find the solution to these problems in the classification of public affairs and to give some implications about the new classification system of public affairs. The main body of the study reviews the classification systems of public affairs in other countries and compares some alternatives to the old classification system in Korea. Of those alternatives, the best and plausible one is the legal delegation system of administrative authority 'legal delegation system(tentatively named)' of administrative authority. This new classification system is similar to the legal consignment system of the public affairs the government of Japan employs. The study finally suggests a roadmap for and some issues in the introduction of the legal delegation system. The new classification system of public affairs will make a meaningful contribution to the maturity of the decentralized government system in South Korea, I expect.
