정책지식 활용 네트워크: 국책연구기관과 정부부처 간의 정책지식 교환 네트워크 분석을 중심으로

초록

Knowledge utilization represents an important feature of policy analysis which is problemorientation. This study viewed knowledge utilization as demand and supply chains of policy-relevant knowledge. These chains are flows of knowledge between government agencies and research institutes. Applying network analysis, this study analyzed policy knowledge utilization network. Results can be summarized as follows. First, knowledge utilization network is well-connected, but demanders overrule suppliers. Second, contrary to common sense, agencies occupying structurally advantaged positions less utilize policy knowledge than others. The plausible explanations for this result are 1) information overload phenomenon or 2) monopoly of information. In order to overcome mere exchanges of information, policy knowledge utilization should go toward cooperative network among diverse participants.
