Legacy of the developmental state and political preferences: development of the South Korean new and renewable energy sector
Lee, Austin H.
This research aims to study the mechanisms through which the South Korean state influenced the
new and renewable energy sector during the Lee Myung-bak and Moon Jae-in administrations.
Furthermore, this study aims to analyze the different approaches that each administration favored
towards new and renewable energy policy based on their ideological leanings, as well as identify
the relevant actors and the mechanisms of compensation for each actor. This study finds that
both administrations actively shaped the new and renewable energy sector through legislative
developments and major energy initiatives, despite the Moon administration showing efforts for
democratization of the new and renewable energy sector.
