한국 병역제도 연구 변화 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends on the military service system in Korea for the past 10 years. A total of 256 papers were extracted as a result of searching with the keywords 'military service', 'conscription system', and 'recruitment system' in the Korean Journal Citation Index and a total of 162 papers that fit the research purpose was analyzed. In terms of research topics, studies on conscientious objection were the most common, followed by improvement of the special military service system and introduction of the military recruitment system. In terms of academic journals, law studies accounted for the most, which is interpreted as conscientious objection to military service is a legal issue. Next, research on the recruitment system was conducted in various fields such as law, military science, public administration and policy studies, and sociology. Literature studies were the most common, and empirical studies or case studies using actual data were very few. Based on the research results, suggestions for future research directions were presented.
