Comparison of Administration under Different Ideologies

Abstract

This study aims at comparing the administrations in Republic of Korea and North Korea and examining the possibility of and difficulties for administrative integration in the event of reunification. One problem in this respect is tho feasibility of such a comparison. Experts were skeptical about his comparison until a tendency began arising to pursue and explore it recently. For comparison, a common criteria must be established. Otherwise a detailed exposition of various heterogeneous matters would not be much conducive to academic research. Therefore, a comprehensive study will be given of the administrative function first, and the process of administration will be used as the criteria for this study. There are various conceptional definitions of administration, but here it will be understood structurally. This study of administrative process will be divided into seven phases; the establishment of development goal, policy-making, development planning, organizing, motivating, control, and feedback. Here emphasis will be placed on the first five phases. As to the methods employed for this study, library materials such as books and essays had to be relied upon due to various restrictive conditions. One significance of this study was that public administration, which is ignored in all countries in the study of the communist bloc, was comparatively studied here by a public administration student for the first time.
