영문초록 : The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamic interactions and power-relations between the major participant units and the political actors participating the policy process of farmland reform in Korea. The motivations for this purpose are twofold; One is the disciplinary requirement of the rumination on the farmland reform policy in Korea and the other is the practical reason of understanding the important historical implications related with farmland reform in Korea. The farmland reform studies, until now, were understood in the aspects of the institutional approaches developed by economists and sociologists. The policy mechanism of the internal processes on farmland reform were largely ignored in the public administration scientist's perspectives. The policy study on a particular reform like farmland reform in Korea can be helpful to understand dynamic aspects of social change because of the methodological usefulness of a case study and the examination of relational phenomena. Thus this study attempted to reinterpretate the historical meanings and the characteristics of Korean farmland reform process by focusing on the it's impacts on the formation and consolidation of system. The adopted method for this study is a descriptive and positive one based on a case study. The primary step being taken was to review the related literatures and then the participated in a field survey to initiate some problem findings and to collect a several significant research sources. The second step was to analyze the data collected by the direct interview survey and the secondary sources such as government documents, parliamentary records, and newspaper articles. The data analysis focused on the main features and changes of the power structure related with the policy process by investigating the participant's actions. The data analysis on the policy process of Korean farmland reform showed the following results in the sides of the features of policy system and environment, the attributes and roles of the policy process participants, and the consequences and impacts of farmland reform : 1. It seems that the policy environment being surrounded with farmland reform can be called a field of ideological conflict in building of the policy process. 2. The policy system leading farmland reform shows a authoritarian system judging from the main features of the policy process. 3. The most important factor influencing on the policy process is the political variables centering on the interest participant. 4. The policy process of Korean farmland reform is lacking in the process of group dynamics and managing by the government's or state's coporatist control. 5. The consequences and impacts of Korean farmland reform contributed ⅰ) establishment of the president Lee's authoritarian political system and liberal democracy politically; ⅱ) the initiation of the Korean modernization and capitalism socio-economically; ⅲ) the settlement of the cultivator system of the farm owners and the modern land-owner system in the farmland system; ⅳ) the degrading of the agrarian policy in the national economy. This retrospective study on the past farmland reform policy in Korea suggests the followings lot future studies in similar research subject : 1. This type of study can be useful to understand the motivation of Korean modernization process in the sense of the recognition of the structural change of Korean society in the period of the Korean liberation is very important for developing the perspectives of structural theory of Korea. 2. The result of this study can give a clue to figure out general characteristics of policy process of the First Republic of Korean government and to develop an agrarian policy concerned on the agrarian and industrial problems in the present Korean situation. 3. The adopted method based on an analysis of the policy participant's actions can be a guide to build up a new technique for the framework development of the policy process analysis. Since Korean liberation the principle that cultivators have to own their farmland has been important implications in Korean agrarian society. This kind of thought on farmland among Korean people may work as a fundamental basis for the conceptualization of the public-owned land in this enlightenment time of the land system.
