[Dialogue] The Operating Mechanisms of Conservative Civil Organizations / Lee Nami, Jung Hwan-bong, Fujii Takeshi, Jung Hyun Gon
The Quarterly Changbi 173, Autumn 2016
Abstract
The Dialogue, featuring "The Inside of 'The Conservative Forces' in Korea", deals with the issues concerning the conservative civil organizations, as its third topic, from their historical background and operating mechanism at the present, to their future perspectives. The operating mechanism of those groups in government circles, such as 'Ubui Association', and in particular, their taking the underhanded financial support from major businesses, shockingly demonstrate the deterioration of democracy for the past ten years since Lee Myung-bak administration. The four attendees who have considerable expertise in the topic give a historical survey of those groups as well, inquiring about the future of conservative movements in Korea.
