Abstract
This research aims to study the mechanisms through which the South Korean state influenced the new and renewable energy sector during the Lee Myung-bak and Moon Jae-in administrations. Furthermore, this study aims to analyze the different approaches that each administration favored towards new and renewable energy policy based on their ideological leanings, as well as identify the relevant actors and the mechanisms of compensation for each actor. This study finds that both administrations actively shaped the new and renewable energy sector through legislative developments and major energy initiatives, despite the Moon administration showing efforts for democratization of the new and renewable energy sector.
