Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper raises the issue of Korea’s bureaucratic responsibility for its economic troubles in the 1990s. Korean bureaucrats kept their passive posture to strong political initiative in economic reform. The bureaucratic attitude is contradictory to the common conception of Korea’s bureaucracy: professional and corporate-minded. Its consequences, on the other hand, were inimical to Korea’s safe economic reform to meet with globalization. Bureaucratic policy mistakes triggered Korea’s declining economic credibility, invited foreign speculative attacks on Korea’s financial market, and finally drove the economy to a financial crisis. Why did the once highly-performing institution suddenly deteriorate in the 1990s? This paper attends to the rapidly decreasing deferred compensation, or post-retirement jobs for bureaucrats in public or private firms. Previously, the second career opportunities provided Korean bureaucrats with a strong incentive for job performance while government pay was low. Competition for promotion or specialty, in an expectation of a lucrative post-retirement job, entailed Korea’s high bureaucratic capability. In the 1990s, however, Korea’s rapid democratization destabilized deferred compensation both quantitatively and qualitatively. First, new political elites encroached on the bureaucratic turfs in public firms and the pie for bureaucrats shrank as much. Second, aggravating regionalism drove bureaucrats to corruption when regional considerations were prioritized in deferred compensation as well as in promotion. The declining bureaucratic capability driven by decreasing deferred compensation well demonstrates Korea’s structural dilemma between political and economic liberalization in the 1990s. Korea’s top-down financial reform required active and efficient policy agents whereas its rapid democratization was discouraging them with decreasing compensation.
