Port governance in Korea: Revisited

Since the previous paper of us (Song & Lee, 2007), Korean ports, like others in the region and world, have experienced a number of challenges, which have driven the ports to make either a slight adjustment or a substantial re-organisation in terms of their governance structure. This paper aims to examine such drivers and subsequent changes taken place in Korea since 2007. This line of analysis will give an insight into an evolutionary development and movement in the area of port governance as an exemplar to those stakeholders who might consider a similar type of measurement now and future. This paper will utilise the same lenses adopted in the previous research for a coherent and consistent comparison to discuss the evolution of administrative and ownership structures.
