dc.description.abstract | The former Lee Myung-bak government in South Korea had been biased toward the logic of efficiency rather than toward the logic of publicity in its information and telecommunications policy. It
has kept the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) as a government-backed, powerful regulatory body in response to the trend of convergence between media and communication technologies, even though many scholars have warned that they could not find any constitutional foundations for establishing the KCC. Moreover, the Korean National Assembly, dominated by the conservative Grand National Party, has revised several new media laws in order to lift the cross-ownership ban on newspapers and TV stations. Both cases tell us that the Korean government de-regulated media industries for efficiency and competitiveness, while re-regulating a civil society that has expanded so much to threaten the governments authority despite criticisms that it would hamper policy publicity and the diversification of broadcasting industries. The paper introduces these cases of regulation politics in the Lee government in South Korea and discusses its implications about political relationship between government and civil society equipped with information and communications technologies. | - |
