Comparative administrative law has not been a major subject in traditional comparative law. But now we can find the interests in comparative administrative law among administrative law scholars in United State. The book of Comparative Administrative Law edited by Susan Rose"]Ackerman and Peter L. Lindseth was published in 2010. Some scholars like Professor John Ohnesorge (Wisconsin University) and Professor Tom Ginsburg (Chicago University) are studying administrative law of Japan, Korea and China. USAID is giving legal assistance of administrative law to China. Among them, the approach by Tom Ginsburg is very interesting because his object is not to compare Asian administrative law with American and European administrative law, but one Asian administrative law with another Asian administrative law. He tried the comparison between Japanese administrative procedure law (enacted in 1993) and Korean one (in 1996). He concluded that Korean administrative procedure law brought about the reform because it provided for the mechanism where the court can discipline the bureaucracy. On the contrary, Japanese administrative law preserved status quo. So it did not change the Japanese administrative law and administrative system. He pointed out the party system and political situation as the cause of such divergence with reference to principal"]agent theory. As Professor Tom Ginsburg emphasized, Japanese administrative reform did not contribute to make stronger external control by the courts to the bureaucracy as Korean administrative law reform did. But we can call it another type of reform, not simple preservation of status quo. It aimed at a change of internal relation within the relationship of the politics . the bureaucracy and self"]control within the bureaucracy. Anyway we admitted the divergence between the almost same systems at starting points.

소개
전북대학교 동북아법연구소는 동북아법에 관한 국내외의 이론과 실제를 연구하고 교육하며, 그 결과를 발표하여 동북아법에 대한 이해의 증진과 동북아의 법률문화발전에 기여하기 위한 목적으로 2006년 7월 설립되었다.
서해안시대의 중심지역을 표방한 전라북도의 지리적 여건과 동북아시아의 여러 국가와의 인적 물적 교류가 확대되면서 그에 따른 여러 가지 법률문제가 발생됨에 따라 동북아시아의 지역적 특성을 고려한 법제도의 연구와 이들 국가와 거래하는 전북지역 자치단체와 기업에 대한 실질적 교육의 필요성이 대두되었다.
이러한 요청에 따라 법제도의 연구와 교육을 담당할 기관으로 전북지역 거점국립대학인 전북대학교가 동북아법연구소를 설립하게 되었고 전북 지방자치단체와 기업에 대한 교육과 자문프로그램을 운영하고 있다.
