서울대학교 행정대학원 정용덕 교수의 저서. 지난 65년 동안 한국의 국가 발전 과정에서 국가와 행정이 수행해온 역할과 과정, 그리고 그것을 위한 국가와 행정 자체의 발전에 대해 경험적으로 분석한다. 특히 한국의 국가와 행정이 어떻게 제도화되었는지에 대해 영역별로 나누어 분석한다.

20세기 중반 제2차 세계대전이 끝난 직후부터 많은 신생국이 출현했다. 이들은 모두 국가 발전을 추구했으며, 과거 서구 나라들의 발전 경험보다도 훨씬 더 빠른 속도로 발전하여 그들을 따라잡고자 했다. 그러나 70여 년이 흐른 지금, 이와 같은 희망이 현실로 이루어진 나라는 극히 일부에 불과하다. 이 점에서 한국의 발전 경험은 국제적으로 주목 받기에 충분하다. 한국은 20세기 후반에 국가형성, 산업화, 민주화를 빠르게 추진한 극소수 나라 가운데 하나이기 때문이다. 그러나 이 발전 과정이 결코 순탄했던 것만은 아니다.
한국의 발전 과정에서 국가와 행정은 늘 중심에서 중요한 역할을 수행해왔다. 이 때문에 한국 발전의 공과(功過)로부터 국가와 행정은 결코 자유로울 수 없다. 한국 발전 과정에서 국가와 행정이 수행한 역할과 그 방법에 대한 경험적 분석이 필요한 이유이다.
이 책은 지난 65년 동안 한국의 국가 발전 과정에서 국가와 행정이 수행해온 역할과 과정, 그리고 그것을 위한 국가와 행정 자체의 발전에 대해 경험적으로 분석한다. 특히 한국의 국가와 행정이 어떻게 제도화되었는지에 대해 영역별로 나누어 분석한다. 이처럼 지난 65년 동안 제도화된 한국 국가와 행정의 특성을 이해함으로써 독자들은 앞으로 그것이 어떻게 지속되고 변화될 것인지에 대해서도 예측할 수 있을 것이다. 제도들의 집합체인 국가와 행정은 스스로 지속하려는 속성이 있어 불가피하게 경로 의존적 성향을 나타내기 때문이다.

Many new nation-states emerged immediately after the end of World War II in the mid-20th century. These states respectively pursued their own path toward national development. Their goal was to surpass the Western countries in the speed of their own development. But, in the seventy years that have passed since then, only a very few countries have achieved that goal. In this regard, Republic of Korea fully deserves the global recognition it has received for that remarkable achievement. In the latter part of the 20th century, Korea has successfully completed state-building, industrialization, and democratization.

In considering the national development of the last seventy years and the solutions to the present and future challenges facing Korea, one has to take into account the crucial role played by the state and public administration. In all countries, the state and the bureaucracy as the largest organized entity have the greatest impact on the lives of the people. This is especially true of Korea whose process of institutionalization has led to the creation of a strong state. In this book, the author analyzes the role of the state and public administration in the national development and their own development in performing that role in the last seventy years.

The author devotes most of book chapters to how the Korean state and public administration have become institutionalized during the last seventy years. By understanding the nature of the institutionalization of them, the readers may be able to imagine how the Korean state and public administration will change and maintain continuity in the future. The state and the bureaucracy as a collective entity have a strong tendency to maintain continuity, which make them inevitably path-dependent.

"Professor Yong-duck Jung is a top international scholar in governance and public administration. His work has been integral to an international understanding of Korean politics and political history. This book fulfills that tradition. Written with a rare combination of passion and analytical clarity this book makes a powerful statement about state building and the quest for democratic governance in Korea. "The Korean State, Public Administration, and Development" book will become a standard reference to scholars and students who wish to understand Korean politics and public administration. Once again, Dr. Jung brings Korea to the world and the world to Korea. This book should find its way into reading lists for courses in Asian politics, comparative politics and public administration."
―Jon Pierre, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg

"The Republic of Korea is put on an analytical cutting board by Professor Yong-duck Jung, who grasps a sharp knife of history and comparison, the angle of which is to make the Korean administration in change identified in terms of its development and stagnation. The time span of 65 years covered, from the state-building era in the 1940s and 1950s, through the industrialization era from the 1960s to 1980s, to the democratization after the late 1980, is long enough for the readers not only to understand the present Korea but also to give an insightful perspective of Korea."
―Masaru Mabuchi, Professor at Kyoto University's Faculty of Law, and
President of Japanese Political Science Association

"While Korea has been considered as a shining example of national development after WWII, few understand why and how. Now Professor Yong-duck Jung, a distinguished scholar of public administration for over 30 years, provides his comprehensive and in-depth analysis on how public administration has played a key role in national development in Korea. It is a timely contribution to the renewed interests and debate about the role of governance in national development."
―XUE Lan, Professor and Dean, School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University

"This book represents a real service to the international community. Professor Yong-duck Jung gives us the first comprehensive examination of Korea's state and public administration. English-language information about the Korean state and public administration is long overdue. I especially appreciate his coverage of Korea's achievements in good governance. We have long known about the quality of the Korean administrative system, but now we have thorough documentation of its development, structure and achievements."
―James L. Perry, Chancellor's Professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, and Editor-in-Chief, Public Administration Review
