  • Multi-Scalar Dynamics of Cluster Development: the Role of Policies in Three Korean Clusters* Hyungjoo Kim**·Jeong Hyop Lee***
    44-5대지.3김형주-4 2009.12.31 9:28 AM 페이지634 600DPI 100LPI Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Vol. 44, No. 5, 2009(634~646) Multi-scalar Dynamics of Cluster Development: The Role of Policies in Three Korean Clusters* Hyungjoo Kim**·Jeong Hyop Lee*** 다규모 공간에서 클러스터 발전의 역동성 -한국의 클러스터 사례에서 국가정책의 역할을 중심으로-* 김형주**·이정협*** Abstract：This paper critically examines cluster dynamics and development in a multi-scalar approach, criticizing both the argument overemphasizing local networks and endogenous development for regional development and the contention highlighting global networks and the role of global players. We argue that state policies, exogenous and direct, play a significant part in cluster dynamics and development especially in the case of Korea where the state government’s strong policies have led to rapid industrialization. We analyze multi-scalar factors, especially the government policies at a national level, in the development paths of the three cases including Ulsan automobile cluster, Daedeok research cluster, and Dongdaemun fashion cluster. Key Words : cluster, dynamics, multi-scalar approach, policies, Korea 요약：본 연구는 클러스터의 역동성과 발전과정을 다규모적 접근법으로 분석하였다. 지역발전에서 지역 내부의 네트워크와 내생적 발전을 강조한 논의나 글로벌 네트워크와 조직의 역할을 강조한 논의는 모두 한계를 가지며, 외부적이고 직접적인 국가 정책이 클러 스터의 역동성과 발전 과정에 미치는 역할은 과소평가되었다. 특히 강력한 정부 정책이 급속한 산업화를 이끌어온 한국의 경우 클러 스터의 발전 과정에서도 국가 정책이 중요한 역할을 했다. 울산 자동차 클러스터, 대덕 연구 클러스터, 동대문 패션 클러스터의 사례 에서 그 생성과 발전과정에 영향을 미친 지역 차원, 글로벌 차원의 다양한 요인들과 함께 국가 정책의 영향이 분석되었다. 주요어 : 클러스터, 역동성, 다규모적 접근법, 정책, 한국 1.
