Hyuk-Rae Kim, Yonsei University
Recently NGOs have gone beyond non-profit provision of goods and services to influencing the development of social governance institutions and to becoming salient political actors in transitional politics. In this paper, I will argue that the conventional centripetal state-centric governance paradigm in which legislation and enforcementwere the prerogatives exclusively of parties and politicians is being replaced by a centrifugal social governance paradigm in which civil society and NGOs actively negotiate with the state to participate in political reform as well as in the realignment of power in South Korea.
KIM Hyuk-rae is a Professor of Korean Studies at Yonsei University's Graduate School of International Studies, and holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from University of Washington. His expertise lies in economic/social governance, civil society, and methodology. His recent publications include Mad Technology: How East Asian Companies are Defending their Technological Advantages, Palgrave Macmillan, 2005 (co-edited volume), Politics and Markets in the Wake of the Asian Crisis, Routlege, 1999. He has written widely on social governance and the transition to civil society in South Korea.
He is visiting Australia to speak at the ANU conference on Civil Society, Religion and Global Governance: Paradigms of Power and Persuasion.
