Why did previous Korean governments adopt nuclear energy as a baseline for electricity generation and promote the exportation of nuclear energy? Why did the current Korean government dramatically change its energy policy to energy transition and postnuclear energy in 2017? How did politicians, bureaucrats, industries, civil society organizations, and political epistemic communities interact in the nuclear energy policymaking process? This study addresses contemporary changes in Korean nuclear energy policy by applying the concepts “nuclear energy developmental state” and “political epistemic community.” This paper attempts to identify the relevant actors in state transition, interactive matrices in policymaking processes, and the mechanisms by which the energy baseline has shifted. A comprehensive analysis of the President's National Policy Priority Agenda, National Energy Basic Plans, the Basic Plan of Long‐Term Electricity Supply and Demand, meeting minutes of relevant government committees, and interview data of relevant actors facilitates understanding of the formation, evolution, and transformation of the contemporary state of nuclear energy throughout different political administrations, including the Lee (2008–2012), Park (2013–2016), and Moon administrations (2017–Present). I argue that political coalitions are integral in nuclear energy policy change in specific and general energy policy. Compared to highlighted agents such as bureaucrats, antinuclear movements, and epistemic communities, the political epistemic community—closely connecting knowledge, value, and power—plays a role in developing different types of political coalitions through nuclear energy decision‐making. During the Lee and Park administrations, a nuclear energy developmental state emerged with a strong coalition between politicians, bureaucrats, and the nuclear industry with support from the nuclear energy epistemic community. However, the Moon administration is characterized by a different coalition that includes politicians, civil society organizations, and the postnuclear energy epistemic community, which propels energy transition from nuclear energy to a decentralized renewable energy system.

从核能发展国家到韩国的能源过渡：政治认识论社区的作用

为什么以前的韩国政府将核能作为发电的基准并促进核能的出口？为什么现任韩国政府在2017年将其能源政策大幅改变为能源过渡和核后能源？政治家，官僚，企业，公民社会组织和政治认识论团体在核能政策制定过程中如何互动？这项研究通过应用“核能发展国家”和“政治认知共同体”概念来应对韩国核能政策的当代变化。本文试图确定状态转变中的相关参与者，决策过程中的互动矩阵以及能源基准线发生变化的机制。总统的全面分析 国家政策优先议程，国家能源基本计划，长期电力供需基本计划，相关政府委员会的会议记录以及相关参与者的访谈数据，有助于理解当代国家的形成，演变和转变包括利（2008–2012），帕克（2013–2016）和月球政府（2017–现在）在内的不同政治管理部门的核能。我认为，政治联盟在特定和一般能源政策的核能政策变化中是不可或缺的。与官僚，反核运动和认识论社区等突出的主体相比，政治知识论社区将知识，价值，和权力-在通过核能决策制定不同类型的政治联盟中发挥作用。在李和帕克政府执政期间，在核能知识界的支持下，政治家，官僚和核工业之间建立了强大的联盟，形成了一个核能发展国家。但是，月球政府的特点是由政客，民间社会组织和核后能源知识界组成的不同联盟，这些联盟推动能源从核能过渡到分散式可再生能源系统。核能知识界的支持，以及核工业。但是，月球政府的特点是由政客，民间社会组织和核后能源知识界组成的不同联盟，这些联盟推动能源从核能过渡到分散式可再生能源系统。核能知识界的支持，以及核工业。但是，月球政府的特点是由政客，民间社会组织和核后能源知识界组成的不同联盟，这些联盟推动能源从核能过渡到分散式可再生能源系统。
