머리말 Policy analysis is a subject that is frequently taught at a graduate level. However, the reality of the Korean work environment dictates that universities do more to provide for the practical work?related skills that will help prepare for the student’s first job. This is not intended as a scholarly book. It is a practical, student?oriented book designed for the undergraduate student, complete with pictures and examples drawn from the Korean experience students can relate to.
This book is designed to meet the specific needs of the Korean college student. First, it is in English. This is a global world. English has become the de facto international language of the world in the global era. This book will help Korean students become global leaders through learning and practicing practical English skills. Korea has had TOEIC fever for more than a decade now, and it shows no signs of dying down. However, behind the demand for TOIEC as a screening tool for employment lies the more fundamental demand for English communication skills. This book was written with an English?language course in mind. The language and content have been kept deliberately simple in order to give the Korean learner of policy analysis confidence in applying English?language skills. While there is nothing in this book that would be out of place in an American college course, the language has been arranged to be less of a dense and daunting challenge to the Korean college student.
The Korean college student will have had many years of English language instruction and yet will still generally lack the basic confidence to apply their broad base of knowledge. The authors hope that this text will contribute to the process of students taking English away from the realm of multiple choice tests and use it for their own purposes to increase their opportunities in life.
Secondly, this text provides a simplified overview of an important set of practical job skills. Whether the student decides to go on to a career in the Korean civil service, in the service of local government, in a public corporation, or abandons the public sector for the corporate sector, policy analysis is a good introduction to the reality of the work world and the kinds of practical skills that will be useful in many of the more popular jobs.
We have deliberately simplified this process so that it is not like a standard graduate text in the subject. Instead, we have prepared a broader introduction to the topic that should be useful to the student, regardless of their eventual career.
Even outside of the office, the skills taught in this text are applicable to real life. We can all benefit from a deeper analysis of our problems and from a more systematic approach to our decisions. The successful student of policy analysis can apply these skills to other areas of their life and see positive results.
This course can help you live a better life, be a better and more effective citizen, and prepare for the real world of work, whether in the corporate or public sector. Take this class seriously and you will reap serious benefits.
Finally, we wish to make some acknowledgements to some of the people who were critical to getting this book into print. While our many colleagues, family, and friends provided generous help, Dr. M. Sohel Iqbal made a critical contribution without which this book simply would not have been possible. He is not the only one, though. Jiyoung Ro provided invaluable support and assistance, particularly at a crucial time. Choon Hwan Lim, president of Daeyoung Moonhwasa Publishing Company, was kind enough to endure the process of publishing a book in a difficult foreign language and nonetheless producing an attractive result. They all have our deep thanks.
