한국과 인도네시아의 기본권 측면의 민주주의에 관한 법제도 비교연구

Abstract

Citizens are the agents that make democracy, and civil society plays a role in leading democracy. Therefore, the role of civil society is most important for the consolidation of democracy.
 However, civil society often fails to fulfill its role. This is because civil liberties are not guaranteed. In this respect, it is necessary to examine the basic rights system to measure the degree of freedom of civil society.
 This study measures basic rights as the most important requirement to construct democracy and from the institutional point of view, basic rights are examined through the constitution. In addition, it intends to utilize the concepts of ‘political representation of women’ and ‘freedom of the press’ as the principles of basic rights that measure the gender equality and freedom of expression in politics. As a result, I would like to compare the basic rights between South Korea and Indonesia.
 In South Korea and Indonesia, basic rights are guaranteed through various provisions in the constitution. However, the basic rights are not guaranteed in reality. The ratio of men and women in politics is not balanced. Freedom of the press is also not guaranteed to some extent. In South Korea, after democratization, basic rights were maintained at a high level, but after a brief period of decline. And recently they are ‘recovering’. After democratization, Indonesia’s basic rights are still ‘stagnant’. Therefore, basic rights both Korea and Indonesia, need to be improved. Gender equality and women’s representation must be guaranteed in many areas. And freedom of the press for the free expression of opinions in civil society must also be guaranteed.
