Centrist reformism
South Korean political ideology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centrist reformism (Korean: 중도개혁주의; Hanja: 中道改革主義; RR: Jungdogaehyeokjuui) is a South Korean political ideology. It is part of South Korea's centrist tradition.
In international standards, centrist reformism can be seen as conservative liberalism or liberal conservatism.
History
The first party to put Jungdogaehyeok as its main ideology the Peace Democratic Party, a liberal party led by Kim Dae-jung in 1987. When the National Congress for New Politics was founded in 1995, it emphasized "moderate conservatives" (Korean: 온건 보수; Hanja: 穩健保守) more than Jungdogaehyeok to gain more support from conservatives.[1] However, since the social liberal Roh Moo-hyun government, the term has not been used frequently for some time.
In 2016, the People Party officially put forward Jungdogaehyeok as its main ideology.[2]
