Centrist reformism

Centrist reformism (Korean: 중도개혁; Hanja: 中道改革; RR: Jungdogaehyeok) is a South Korean political ideology. It is part of South Korea's centrist tradition.

History

The first party to put "Jungdogaehyeok" as the main ideology of the party was the conservative-liberal Peace Democratic Party and led by Kim Dae-jung in 1987. But 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 left-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. Since then, political forces who disagree with both the major liberal camp and the major conservative camp, have referred to themselves as "Jungdogaehyeok".[2]
