영문 초록

This study attempts to examine the regional economic development policies of the USA for possibly applying it to Korean soil. The auther found that the traditional paradigm of local economic development policies in US focused on the attraction of the firms from the outside to the designated region in early 1970`s and shift it to a process rooted in a market-driven private sector which State has taken on innovative entrepreneurial function such as venture capital provision, high technology development as well as export promotion projects. However, the regional economic development policy in Korea has been a part of regional industrial growth policy planned mostly by the central government rather than regional economic revitalizing scheme initiated by the local government. At the same time her policy objectives have only rested on increasing industrial productivity due to limmited policy tools whilst the US on promoting local employment opportunities and improving the international competitiveness of local industries. Therefore, this article tried to draw some recommendations and suggestions to Korean Government from surveyed in the US including market-oriented strategies, small scale industry development, human resource development and more active role of the local government in promoting the favourable business environment on the basis of socio-political availability prevailing in Korea.
