Abstract

This study is based on a review of how and in which stages evidence can be used, in practice, in the policy process and proposes an information analysis framework capable of inducing continuous interaction among stakeholders and an operation procedure that allows experts to reconcile conflicts through the analyzed information. In particular, it focuses on the strategic planning process carried out in the policy formation stage of the R&D policy process, which promotes the creation of knowledge related to science and technology required to improve national competitiveness and solve social and environmental problems. Conflicts are negotiated and resolved by ensuring rationality in the policy process, following the operation procedure and inducing communication between the stakeholders participating in national R&D strategic planning related to the issue of population aging throughout utilizing the provided useful information. Our results showed that the proposed operating procedures and information analysis framework had a positive effect on the communication-oriented shift. Thus, in order to promote conflict management, an agreed operating procedures and information analysis framework should be established between stakeholders, thereby reducing a conflict of opinions in advance. This article realizes the true meaning of movement of evidence-based policies. In addition, the framework is helping support evidence-based R&D policies by strengthening rational behavior.

본 연구는 정책과정에서 다양한 증거가 활용되어 정책의 질을 높일 수 있다는 규범적 주장보다 실무적으로 증거의 바탕이 되는 정보가 정책과정에서 어떻게 활용될 수 있는가에 대한 고찰을 바탕으로, 이해관계자들 간 지속적인 상호 작용을 촉진할 수 있는 유용한 정보를 제공하기 위한 정보 분석 프레임워크와 분석된 정보를 통해 갈등을 조정할 수 있는 운영 절차를 제시하였다. 특히 국가경쟁력 제고 및 사회적·환경적 문제를 해결하기 위해 요구되는 과학기술 관련 지식의 창출을 촉진하는 연구개발(R&D) 정책과정 중 정책형성단계에서 수행되는 전략기획과정에 초점을 두고 있다. 국가 현안인 고령화를 사례로 국가R&D 전략기획에 참여하는 이해관계자들 간 대립적이고 갈등적인 상황을 운영절차를 통해 정책과정의 합리성을 확보하고, 제공된 정보를 기반으로 의사소통을 유도하여 갈등을 협상 진화적으로 전환 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. R&D전략기획을 수립하는데 발생하는 갈등 관리를 위해, 본 연구에서 제시한 바와 같이 정보 분석 프레임워크와 이를 활용한 운영절차를 이해관계자들과 사전에 합의가 선행되어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 증거기반 정책의 본질을 환기시키고 있으며, 합리적 행위를 강화함으로써 증거기반 연구개발 정책에 기여하고 있다.
