地域情結存在韓國歷史已久,從1970年代起迄今,透過政治人物有心的政治操作,地域主義遂被利用為政治動員和選舉策略的工具,藉以攫取個人、派系和政黨的政治利益。自此之後,地域主義成為影響韓國政黨體系最為核心的社會分歧之一,長期主導地域屬性選民的僵化黨派意識與慣性投票傾向,造成選舉結果往往由候選人出生背景的情感認同與血脈情懷所左右。然而換來的負面代價,卻是長期製造韓國社會的兩極對立,不僅扭曲政黨體系的制度化和穩定性,更難以形成國家凝聚力與社會團結度。本文旨在針對韓國地域主義與政黨體系進行關聯性分析。對此,在研究方法上,筆者擬運用文獻分析法,結合選舉研究,雙重驗證以上的研究命題,最後得出研究發現。
In the Korean historical process, the regional complex exists for a long time. From the 1970's to the present, through the political operation of politicians, regionalism is used as a tool for political mobilization and electoral strategies, in order to obtain the political interests of individuals, factions and political parties.
