Previous literature on Korea’s official development assistance ( ODA ) has tended to focus on Korea’s national interest in providing ODA , in a way that is biased toward accepting the assumption of a realist paradigm and ignoring the aspect of international cooperation observed in Korea’s aid behavior. To fill this gap in the literature, I examine the impact of the poverty reduction norm in determining Korea’s aid behavior. I adopt qualitative research methods and examine two aspects of the impact of the norm of poverty reduction in Korea’s ODA : the incorporation of this norm into ODA policy and transformations in aid allocation to African countries. I also conduct an analysis at the level of the system and the unit to identify the factors that encourage Korea to sensitively respond to the poverty reduction norm. I argue that norm internalization has led Korea to increase aid to Africa.

韩国对非洲的援助和对国际准则的遵守

以前有关韩国官方发展援助（ODA）的文献倾向于集中于韩国在提供官方发展援助方面的国家利益，这种方式偏向于接受现实主义范式的假设，而忽略了在韩国援​​助行为中观察到的国际合作方面。为了填补文献中的空白，我研究了减贫准则对确定韩国援助行为的影响。我采用定性研究方法，研究了韩国官方发展援助中减贫准则影响的两个方面：将该准则纳入官方发展援助政策，以及向非洲国家分配援助的转变。我还对系统和部门进行了分析，以找出鼓励韩国敏感地响应减贫准则的因素。
