초록

Purpose: This study aims to examine changes in the roles of Korean development civil society organizations (CSOs) in the historical path of Korean development cooperation since the 1990s. In particular, it focuses on analyzing the government- civil society relationship.
Originality: This study has originality in that it analyzes the characteristics and intrinsic dynamics of the government-developed civil society relationship from a historical perspective in a multifaceted way. The main contribution of this study is that it revealed the path of development CSOs growth by looking at the change in the role of the CSOs in each period.
Methodology: By applying Nazam's Four-Cs model, we analyzed the change in the relationship between the government and civil society development in Korea since 1995.
Result: We found that the government-development civil society relationship showed a mixed nature of complementary/confrontation from 1995 to 2010 and complementary/confrontation/cooperation from 2011 to 2016. Then mutual cooperation strengthened after 2017. It was also found that these changes are closely related to the growth path of the civil society for development. The development civil society fully utilized the major international trends and consensus as a meaningful political opportunity for its own development. In the process, NGOs have expanded the scope of their activities from a limited role focused on service implementation to the status of policy partners. However, the achievements were largely dependent on the will and capabilities of a small number of experts and scholars, and thus there were some limitations in accumulating development as a common experience of civil society.
Conclusions and Implication: In terms of expansion and limitations, the research suggested changes in the role of Korean development civil society and growth paths by period. At the same time, this study provides a basis for analyzing the limitations of the framework and the challenges of partnership in the future development cooperation landscape of Korea.
