摘要

摘要我们认为，2014年韩国“世越号”渡轮灾难造成304名乘客死亡，是韩国海警和救援服务私有化模式和过程的结果。通过发展一种细致入微的私有化理论，并使用一种新的腐败概念，再加上实证分析，我们的研究表明，这一结果是系统性官僚寻租的更广泛趋势的症状。积极主动的私营部门准备利用这一机会，再加上宽松的政治环境，导致国家能力下降，造成了毁灭性的后果。

LEVIATHAN FOR SALE: MARITIME POLICE PRIVATIZATION, BUREAUCRATIC CORRUPTION, AND THE SEWOL DISASTER

Abstract We argue that the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea, in which 304 passengers perished, was a result of the mode and process of privatization of South Korea's maritime police and rescue services. Through the development of a nuanced theory of privatization and use of a novel conceptualization of corruption, coupled with empirical analysis, our study shows that the outcome was symptomatic of a wider trend of systematic bureaucratic rent-seeking. A pro-active private sector ready to capitalize on the opportunity, in conjunction with a permissive political environment, resulted in a reduction of state capacity, with devastating consequences.
