This paper discusses issues and policy orientations for the new regional policy of the Park Geunhye government. The idea of the Regional Settlement Areas is the most important policy instrument of the Park Geunhye government which has been originated from the regional policy of the Lee Myung-bak administration. The Regional Settlement Areas are characterized by the unbounded region and cooperative governance among local governments which are important characteristics of the new regionalism. However, there are many important issues to be addressed. This paper discusses the problems and issues of the unbounded region and cooperative governance system. In particular since the policy of the Regional Settlement Areas is supposed to be organized and implemented by the cooperative governance system without the interventions of the central government, many obstacles are expected. In this context, this paper suggests a combined model of cooperative governance through the meta analysis. Based on the model this paper discusses some strategies and instruments for the promotion of regional governance system.
