This study was purposed to investigate the policy implication of the historical facts to verify validities of those contradictory opinions, and verified that it was 1980's policy of physical education and sports forming advanced structures and contents that accomplished substantial outcomes. These outcomes, of course, have brought upon themselves the contempt of some critics, a "Republic of Sports", but we should not pass over that they made a decisive moment to turn the situation of Korean sports toward that of the advanced nations, consequently.
This study have indicated that there should be an inclusive comprehension and evaluation in arguing 80's sports advancement policy. Moreover, it is dear that a negative evaluation on a policy input put in a context of the times should not be led to a devaluation of a policy outcome and exclusive policy.
The 1980's advancement policy of physical education and sports had developed on the basis of the strong public power of government: for example, they organized the Ministry of Sports. Such a strong drive of the policy had made it possible to accomplish the government's will: accelerating the promotion of "Sports for All", "Lifetime Sports", the unification of nation, social welfare, and enhancement of national glory through sports, which had became drive forces of successful 86 Asian Games and 88 Olympic Games.
In conclusion, we cannot help emphasizing the necessity of a positive recognition that makes it possible to develope institutional outcomes of policies into more desirable ways by objectifying positive function of relationship between sports and politics.
