산업기술보호정책의 법제화 과정 분석: 역사적 신제도주의 관점

초록

Since the late 1990s, foreign countries have increasingly attempted to infringe the cutting-edge industrial technologies of the Korean companies to ensure easy access to these technologies including those of semiconductor and mobile phone. The increasing infringement has led to establish a new policy to prevent and protect the highly important industrial technologies, which promoted the legislation of the Act of Industrial Technology Protection in 2006. It was possible because of the belief that technical competitiveness would determine the national power and furthermore the future of the country. Many researches have been done with regard to the enactment of industrial technology protection. Most of these works have focused upon legal controversies, however, very few have touched the political aspects in policy formulation. This study focused on the process of legislation of the Act of Industrial Technology Protection, particularly from a view of historical new institutionalism. The results of this study showed that the legislation process not only reflected the reasonable purpose for protecting national interests, but also the political goals of reforming the NIS.
