  摘要：Democratization in Korea since 1987 has led to the gradual establishment of a diverse set of institutional arrangements-competitive electoral systems, local autonomy, freedom of the press, and freedom of association that facilitate the articulation of diffuse environmental interests in policy-making processes.
