Open and transparent government in Korea

Based primarily on the Government 3.0 paradigm and objectives established by the Korean government in 2013, this chapter provides a set of indicators on the level of openness and transparency of the Korean government. The analysis included in this chapter focuses on the evolution of perceived corruption in government by age group and compared to the private sector, on the existing mechanisms to combat potential conflicts of interest and foster integrity in the Korean government, on the existing channels for citizen participation throughout the policy making cycle, and on the quality and uptake of digital government services and open government data.
