Kingdon의 정책흐름모형을 적용한 한국의 스포츠클럽 정책 결정 과정 연구

Abstract

This paper is an analytic study on the social and political situation in Korea that has affected the adopting process of sports clubs as a policy agenda, which was analyzed by applying the policy flow model of Kingdon (1984). The results are as follows. First, the analysis indexes showing the limits of the elite upbringing policy and the low participation rate for living sports and the experience of the excellent sports system of advanced countries with the 2002 World Cup formed a policy problem stream. Second, the fire accident of Cheonan Elementary School Soccer Dormitory raised concerns about the problems of school physical education, such as violations of human rights of student athletes and deprivation of learning rights. These public concerns formed a political stream claiming political actions. Third, a policy alternative stream was formed with the emergence of a `co-action committee` which called for the abolition of non-educational and anti-human dormitory training for young athletes with the goal of achieving maximum performance. Finally, the above three streams combined to shape the social demand for the overall change in physical education structure in Korea, and the active participation of policy community and policy entrepreneurs opened the window of policy change. On these bases, the sports club were adopted as a policy agenda. We hope that this research will be a point of reference for the revitalization and healthy development of sports clubs.
