인권의 제도화로서 정책 확산 및 역확산에 관한 연구 ; A Study on Policy Diffusion & Reverse-Diffusion as an Institutionalization of Human Rights : Focusing on Law and Ordinances on Lonely Deaths ; 고독사 예방 법률 및 조례를 중심으로

학위논문(박사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 행정대학원 행정학과(정책학전공), 2023. 2. 권혁주. ; As the rate of single-person households, economic polarization, poverty and unemployment intensified, the phenomenon of Lonely deaths, which has been previously regarded as an exclusive property of Japanese society, has emerged as an critical social problem in Korea. Institutions and policies on lonely deaths and public funerals are closely related to the fundamental human rights in both life and death, and this study takes a perspective that diffusion of policy is regarded as the process of institutionalization of human rights. One ordinance on public funerals adopted by a single government in 2007 spread to several local governments both horizontally and vertically, and thirteen years later as a national standard the Law[Act On The Prevention And Management Of Lonely Deaths] was enacted, then regional diffusion of the remainder appeared again. This study defined such a process of diffusing from lower to higher levels of governments and re-diffusing to lower levels as Reverse-Diffusion of Policy', and analyzed in various ways not only the determinants and mechanisms of reverse-diffusion, but also the patterns of diffusion and the flow of institutionalization level over time. First, the theoretical framework for analyzing the determinants of reverse-diffusion of policy is Berry and Berrys (1990) unified model, which includes internal determinants and external factors for explaining the diffusion, and EHA(Event History Analysis) was used as a methodology including Panel Logit Model, Cox Proportional Hazard Model, and linear regression. Cumulative frequency graphs, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Diffusion Maps were also used to visualize the pattern of adoption or diffusion over time. The scope of the targets is the entire local governments of Korea, including 17 metropolitan governments and 226 basic local governments, and the period of analysis is from 2007 to 2021. In addition, considering the nature of survival data, both balanced and unbalanced panel data ...
