지리적표시제의 실효성 제고를 위한 생산자 중심의 거버넌스 구축 방안

초록

This paper begins from the premise that strengthening the policy effectiveness of the geographical indication (GI) system hinges on establishing producer-organization–centered, privately led governance. Based on a full survey of governance conditions for 17 GI items in Gyeongsangnam-do, we conducted an in-depth comparative analysis of two contrasting groups: Hadong green tea and Sancheong dried persimmon, which have high geographical uniqueness but weak governance; and Changnyeong garlic and Namhae Changseon bracken, which have relatively low geographical uniqueness but have built effective, producer-driven governance. The analysis shows that the success or failure of the GI system is determined more by governance capacity than by geographical factors themselves. Accordingly, we propose policy improvements to shift future GI operations away from administrative leadership toward a system centered on the autonomy and cooperative structures of producer organizations.
