Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the process of city growth from the perspective of the political economy. Growth Machine Theory is applied to analyze a conflicting structure and the characteristics of growth-coalitions focusing on conflicts among various growth-coalitions in Jeollanam-do and Gwangju with respect to the relocation of the Jeonnam provincial office. The results suggest some different views from the traditional Growth Machine Theory. First, each growth-coalition centered by local governments has co-relations or conflicting relations depending on its geographical range. Second, the conflicts among growth coalitions are formed by their political and administrative positions, and they are streched from local to central government. Third, the type of major stakeholders of each growth coalition is different depending on the characteristics of locality or region.
