Fair trade has received increasing attention from ethical consumers in the North Trans-Atlantic world. It is a movement establishing alternative trading organizations to ensure minimal returns, safe working conditions, and to provide continuity in the trading relationship for disadvantaged producers, especially women and indigenous people in the South. Despite of the growing fair trade movement in the U.S. and Europe, it is still in the introductory stage in Korea. Although fair trade has gained some attention because of the efforts of activists, most Korean consumers are still unaware of it. This paper is divided into four sections including an introduction and conclusions. In section two, I analysed sales of the fairly traded products and the websites of the fairly traded products sellers. In section three, I proposed two effective recommendations for the better marketing and promotion strategies of fairly traded products. One proposal is for providing consumer information, like fair trade certificates, consumer campaigns, and consumer information of the fair trade sellers' websites analyses. The other is for establishing the infrastructure to promote the consumption of fairly traded products such as consumer education, corporate social responsibility, social enterprise, fair trade town and school, and networking. This study is relavant to academics, non-profit fair trade organizations, manufacturers, retailers and governments.

국가경제 전반의 생산성, 기술혁신, 수출, 고용을 유지함에 있어 제조업의 역할 및 경쟁력 확보는 매우 중요하다. 제조업은 ICT 기기, 자동화기계 등을 공급함으로써 경제 전분야에 걸쳐 생산성 향상과 기술혁신을 견인하고 있다. 무역에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 제조업 분야는 전체 무역의 약 70%를 차지하고 있으며 제조업 경쟁력이 무역수지 흑자에 필수적이며 이를 위해서 로봇기술을 바탕으로 융합 신(新)산업을 창출하여 우리 제조업만의 경쟁우위를 확보해야 한다. 인건비 상승, 고령화 사회 진입, 중국이나 일본 등 경쟁국가 기업들의 위협으로 위기를 맞고 있는 중소제조기업들이 생산공정에 로봇도입을 통해 기업 경쟁력을 회복하는 것이 필요하다. 정부에서는 제조업의 위기 타개책으로 '스마트팩토리'를 제시하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 중소제조기업이 아직 전산화 단계도 벗어나지 못하고 있는 현시점에서 기존 수공정에 로봇도입을 통한 제조공정의 스마트화가 우선적으로 필요하다. 본 고에서는 국내 중소제조업 현황을 알아보고 중소제조기업의 로봇도입을 통한 제조공정 스마트화에 대해 적용 사례를 중심으로 살펴보도록 한다.

The purpose of this research is to reveal the problems of the Western based development discourse, and to derive the future direction of postdevelopment as sustainable development. This study attempted to reveal the historical process of formation and change on development discourse. Development generally regarded as the overcome of underdevelopment, inducing the marginalization of the South as a place to follow the development model of the North. State based development discourse (Keynesian development discourse) focused on the growth by industrialization, and the supreme aim of the South was to overcome the underdevelopment. Neoliberalism development discourse emphasized on the market principle based on free competition which was recognized as the best way to provide development. However, neoliberalism discourse has been criticized for the concentration of power and inequality of class, causing on the consideration of postdevelopment because of its emphasis on growth rather than distribution and life value. This research revealed the ways of postdevelopment with fair trade and ethical consumption. However, fair trade and ethical consumption discourses clearly show somewhat limitation subsuming into neoliberal development discourse. In this respect, future ways for postdevelopment have to consider the overcoming of powers based on market and capital, and to orient into the value of redistribution in development process.

Today, due to the serviceization of the economy, volume and position Global trade in Services have gradually increased. Stable and fair trade can be achieved through solid international trade law. Multilateral discussions on service trade agreement have been stagnant, but have recently shown considerable outcome. Service trade agreement(GATS) deal with various service trade barriers in member countries that hinder free trade in services. Recently, a group of WTO members have established the 「Joint Initiative on Services Domestic Regulation」. The agreement aims to ensure that licensing and qualification requirements and procedures, as well as technical standards do not constitute unnecessary barriers to services trade. This study is to understand the type and statistics of service trade barriers that affect actual service transactions. At the same time, It aims to examine the progress of discussions on multilateral service trade agreement for resolving service trade barriers.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the standard of fair and equitable treatment. Although most international investment treaties prescribe fair and equitable treatment that is the obligation to provide fair and equitable treatment to foreign investor, there is no clear definition and specific elements of fair and equitable treatment. Through the arbitral award cases we can find that tribunals have interpreted to include six principles; Due process & Protection from denial of justice, Good faith, Reasonableness & Nondiscrimination, Compliance with contractual obligation, Full protection and security, Transparency & Protection of the investor's legitimate expectations. This study suggest that host countries and investors focus on international trends concerning investment disputes in order to avoid future disputes. So future disputes can be prevented and prepared in advance.
