South Korean political ideology
Centrist reformism (Korean: 중도개혁주의; Hanja: 中道改革主義; RR: Jungdogaehyeokjuui) is a South Korean political ideology. It is part of South Korea's centrist tradition.
In international standards, centrist reformism can be seen as conservative liberalism and/or liberal conservatism.
History
The first party to put Jungdogaehyeok as its main ideology the Peace Democratic Party, a liberal party led by Kim Dae-jung in 1987. When the National Congress for New Politics was founded in 1995, it emphasized "moderate conservatives" (Korean: 온건 보수; Hanja: 穩健保守) more than Jungdogaehyeok to gain more support from conservatives.[1] However, since the social liberal Roh Moo-hyun government, the term has not been used frequently for some time.
In 2016, People Party officially put forward Jungdogaehyeok as its main ideology.[2]
