Policy Change in Korea’s Retirement Pension System: Focusing on Small Business Cases
From the perspective of the Sabatier’s Advocacy Coalition Framework, policy changes in Korea’s retirement pension system has been preceded by confrontations among two powerful coalitions: labor and business.

Review of papers about government competitiveness (and related concepts) starts from this week.
First paper: “What is Governance?” (Francis Fukuyama, 2013)
This paper focuses mainly on the quality of government through four perspectives:
1) procedural 2) capacity=input 3) output 4) autonomy
The output perspective is examined due to its relevance to the concept of Government Competitiveness. Also, the concept of autonomy has been studied as a potentially helpful new perspective.
