정부정책과 국회입법과정에서 관찰되는 국제결혼이민여성에 대한 대표성(representation) 연구

초록

This article examines the bureaucratic and legislative characteristics in the representation of the International Marriage Migrant Women (IMMW) in Korea. Three theoretical hypotheses are developed from the consideration of institutional effectiveness, political parties' issue ownership and legislative bureaucratic collaboration. Empirical Results show first that the fragmentation and overlaps of bureaucratic authorities over the issues of the IMMW tends to limit the effectiveness of policy implementation. Second, IMMW issues are not owned by the members of a specific political party. Finally, the representation of the IMMW in Korea is more likely to be led by the bureaucratic agencies located at the lower level of bureaucratic hierarchy through the legislative collaboration with the governing party legislators.
