There are six parts in the paper.Part I: System and function of Korean Party.According to Korean constitution and political law, setting up Party needs certain conditions, which includes supporting liberal democratism, joining the party with freedom and so on. Multiparty system should be used. According to the law, the Party owns certain rights and will be protected by the law. The Party has rights of registration, public duty voting, attending national political activities and receiving funds from the exchequer. According to eighth item of"Law of the Party", the Party can obtain necessary funds from the nation.The Party should fulfill obligations.

Aim, organization and activities of the Party should be democratized. The Party ought to public its funds origin.The law regulates the Party's function. The Party should support the constitution; its activities should follow the public benefits. The Party reflects national political views and attends voting activities. Although prescribed in the law, the real political activities will be restrained by many factors.Part II: History and charactertics of different stages of Korean party politics.Several Parties have existed before founding of Korea, in which period, Korean party politics have the following characteristics: many Parties coexisted, especially the puny Parties, influential Parties hardly be seen; restrained conditions of setting up the Party aren't rigorous; the right and left Party camps have been formed.In Commonwealth I and II periods, Korean party politics was deeply influenced by America. Commonwealth I was founded with America's help, party politics was mainly administration rights. Three rights coexistence system couldn't keep administration rights within limits though American political system was used.In Commonwealth III and IV periods, Korean party politics was deeply influenced by authoritative political system. This period, Korean politics were mainly military autarchy and personal autarchy. Korean party politics lost democratic characteristics, because the main rights were concentrated on the President. The antagonistic Party existed, but it was restrained by the national administration rights. In this period, authoritative political system didn't block economic development, which stabilized the social order on the contrary.In Commonwealth V, Korean party politics coexisted with high pressure political system."29th of June Manifesto"is the key of Korean political transition. Political phase of"Three Jin and One Lu"turned up, which showed the beginning of Korean party politics has been democratized.In Commonwealth VI period, Korean party politics created"civilization politics"period. The 14th President voting of 1992, Jinyongsan was the President, which ended up the 30 years history of armyman's presidency. Although several Parties coexisted, Ministerial Party took up the most seats. The out-party can't compete with the ministerial party.Jindazhong is the first one who came into power with identity of out-party. The new Korean party politics pattern formed.Part III: Characteristics of Korean party politics.Large number of Parties and instability of political organization were analyzed in the paper, which reflects that the Korean Party isn't mature and stable; Korean Party has weak social basis.Individualized liability of Korean party politics is analyzed as well. Political leaders carried out patriarch system. Certain person set up the Party with high despotism.Geostrategic research of Korean party politics. Because of the features of Korean political party's organization, Korean Party can rely on the leader's personal charm and supporting resource from regional power. Every Party has its own base; these bases are usually the leaders'hometowns.Fractionized problem of Korean Party is serious. Korean Parties can be formed mainly because of personal emotion and mutual benefits. Conflicts will become more furious when President election, councilor election and power share. Ombination is only the need of politics.Out-party has lower status, it can't compete with ministerial party. In Korea, lower status of out-party reflects immaturity of party politics. Because Korea mainly relies on administration power, congress is accessorial; therefore, antagonistic party can't be able to hold down administration power through congress.Party corruption is serious. In the course of Korean political modernization, the position of the Party became more obvious than before. Korean Party has weak relation with social class; the Party is controlled by some consortiums. In the system of bureaucracy, consortiums can influence the government by the help of the Party and make the policies benefit itself. The Party also needs the consortiums'support and gets political funds. The political funds are the key problem for Korean Party.The main reason of the above features are history, culture, breaking-up and American influence.Part IV: Relation between Korean party politics and authoritative system.Authoritative political system's establishment is the main feature for post-war Korea, which influences changes and developments of Korean party politics.Feature of Korean party politics is restrain of civil liberal rights, administration power stands the leading position, national power leads to shortage of social political power, fast–developed economy and backward democratic politics coexist.Korean authoritative political system is the bureaucratic authoritative political system. In the system, the political power is controlled by several political oligarchs. Korean military regimes are based on military oligarchs, ordinary leaders, businessmen and intellectuals. In this political league, army man group is the core of the political power; military machines are the basis of the national political power. The parliament is the key stage of Korean party politics. Weaken congress'function and intensify administration power, in the national system, the Party's function is weakened.Change the authoritative political system, the key is making citizen society strong. Post authoritative period, the President comes into power by way of voting, which realizes stable transition.Part V: Reform of Korean political system.Jinyongsan put up with"civilized politics", changed political pattern of army man's interference. He pointed out that citizen society should be fostered and corruption should be cleared up.Jindazhong thought"forgive"is the philosophic basis of Korean party politics,"incorporate"is the political basis; market economy, democracy and social welfare are the views of administration,"cooperation among Parties"is the aim of party system.After Jinyongsan came into power, he carried out series of policies and methods; he fought against corruption and established disinterested party. He set up assets proclamation system, which is a common system of modern democratic nations. He dealt with corruption cases and trial of former president.Part VI: Future view of Korean party politics.Firstly, analyze the change of political pattern."Three Jin Politics"is the key feature of Korean politics. As Luwuhong became the President,"Three Jin Politics"ended. The new political power come into the stage and"main trends alternates"is realized. Oligarch politics and authoritative politics ended as the developments of democratic politics and the Parties co operations. The 16th President Voting is the key feature of generation alternation.Way of voting is also changed a lot. From the 16th President Voting, the Party Voting change obviously. The way and method changed. The voting is carried out by way of advisements and policies discussions. In the election, every candidate made use of advisements of TV and newspaper. The most obvious change is using internet.For the future trend of Korean party politics, it has a long to go to get mature degree though it has several years'history.Instability of Korean party politics will still exist. This stage will last certain period of time. Contradiction between ideal condition and reality of Korean party politics will still exist. Immaturity of Korean party politics can be seen from many aspects.Individualism and territorialism of the Party has been weakened and systematization has been intensified. Individualism is changing; intensifying the organization of the Party and becoming voting Party.At last, from the recent years'development of Korean party politics, on the one hand, Korean party politics becomes democratized; on the other hand, it becomes uncorrupted. Political probity is obvious in the course of election and money election is destroying.
