공적개발원조(Official Development Assistance; 이하 ODA)는 세계 평화와 인류 공영에 이바지하기 위하여 개발도상국 또는 국제기구에 공여하는 증여(Grant) 및 양허적 성격의 차관(Concession Loan)으로(한국환경산업기술원, 2013), 당해 사업의 추진방식은 크게 양자간 원조와 다자간 원조 방식으로 구분된다. 양자간 원조는 공여국으로부터 수원국으로 원조자원이 직접 전달되는 방식인 반면, 다자간 원조방식은 IMF, ADB, IBRD, WB, EBRD, IDA 등 국제개발은행(MDB, Multilateral Development Bank) 및 UN 등에 출자 또는 출연됨으로써 간접적으로 원조자원이 전달되는 방식이다(오지택, 2012). 그리고 양자간 원조방식은 프로젝트 참여 국가를 제한하느냐, 제한하지 않느냐에 따라 구속성 원조(tied)와 비구속성(un-tied) 방식으로 구분된다. 그런데 이러한 양자간 ODA 원조 방식에 변화의 바람이 일고 있다. 국제 사회에서는 ODA 원조의 효과성 제고라는 명분하에 공여국들에게 원조방식의 비-구속성 원조를 촉구, 그 규모가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 즉 ODA 비구속성 원조를 중심으로 한 또 하나의 시장이 성장하고 있는 것이다. 이에 본 논고에서는 ODA, 특히 물 관련 ODA 자금의 미래 성장 가능성을 살펴보고, 나아가 시장 분포, 프로젝트 특성 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of Korea's official development assistance (ODA) in terms of improvement in per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of aid recipients, and promotion of Korea's exports and outward foreign direct investments (FDI) to ODA recipients. The assessment has also been done for different groups of aid recipient countries divided by their regional location, income level, and economic freedom. For this purpose, this paper empirically tests the effectiveness of bilateral grants and loans for 163 aid recipient countries during the period of 1990 to 2003. Results show that ODA from Korea had not been able to explain the variations in aid recipient countries' growth in per capita GDP. Provision of aid promoted outward FDI to aid recipient countries during the entire period considered. With respect to exports, provision of aid had facilitated Korea's exports to aid recipient countries, except for the period of 2000~2003. On the basis of the findings, recommendations for future aid policy have been made.

This paper examines middle powers' ODA policy in the post cold war era and discusses its implication for Korean aid strategy. Middle powers' ODA has been more successful than that of super powers in promoting donors' positive images and in stimulating recipient countries' development. Middle powers tend to pursue multilateral solutions to international problems often by taking a mediator role, and their ODA policies set them apart from the great players in international politics. Middle powers' ODA is primarily aimed at reducing poverty and protecting human rights in least developed countries where humanitarian aid needs the most rather than promoting donors' interests. Also, middle powers have provided bilateral untied aid in the sectors of food aid and emergency relief and steadily devoted about 0.7% of their gross national income to ODA. Meanwhile, Korea as an emerging middle power and a new donor has been implementing its own aid strategy under the name of the Korean development model since the post cold war period. The Korean ODA was not successful in building donors' positive images by simply following the short term strategies of US and Japan. Yet, its ODA policy has been quite effective in sustaining local development by creating specific niches in which the country can specialize in. In specific, Korea has focused on developing the sectors of information and communication technology and industry energy in recipients' countries by maximizing its comparative advantage.

This study analyzes the effects Korea's grant aid to 53 African countries, focusing on its impacts on improving HDI (Human Development Index) of each recipient country, through panel data analysis. According to the OLS panel analysis, Korea's grant aid on information and communication (IC) sector showed positive and significant correlation with HDI, but aid on administrative system and environment showed negative correlation with HDI. Also, according to the fixed effect panel analysis, aid on IC sector showed positive correlation with HDI, but aid on administrative system showed negative correlation with HDI. In particular, effects of aid was different across the region. In North African region, aid on health improved HDI. However, in Sub-Saharan African region, aid on IC was more effective in improving HDI. This results imply that grand aid on Africa needs to be coordinated strategically across regions and sectors. This paper is meaningful in providing ways that can be mutually beneficial both to donor and recipient countries of grant aid.

The present paper was to explore the attitude of middle and high school students for Won-jo-kyo-je which, recently, has been a social issue. The present authors would like to, at first, suggest that it needs to be social consensus about Won-jo-kyo-je as a adolescent's prostitution in Korean society. Nowadays, Won-jo-kyo-je is socially issued and bring into legal problem. Thus, we tried to investigate the properties of Won-jo-kyo-je through analysing student's awareness about it and concluded that it is the same as prostitution.

공적개발원조(ODA)가 새로운 국제 사회의 화두로 떠오르고 있다. 원조를 받던 나라에서 원조를 주는 나라로 그 위상을 새로 세우고 있는 우리나라는 현재 약 7억 4천만불로 국민총소득(GNI)의 0.09% 수준인 공적 원조 자금 규모를 2015년까지 지금의 약 3배인 국민총소득의 0.25%로 확대한다는 계획을 세우고 있다. 국제 원조는 한 나라의 이미지를 높여줄 뿐 아니라 사업의 규모를 확대시키는 좋은 계기가 된다. 우리의 원자력은 ODA를 어떻게 활용할 수 있을까. 이에 대해 각 분야의 전문가들이 모여 심도 깊은 이야기를 나눴다.

This paper uses the modified gravity model of international trade to examine the impact of ODA on the export of Korea to 28 aid recipients. In this perspective, the study includes recipient's economic size, trade openness, population, donor's scale of aid and distance between them as key determinants of the export of Korea by using panel data over the period of 2005-2012. To do this task, important econometric methods are fulfilled to test the model adequately, such as panel unit root and panel co-integration test. In addition, the study incorporated the panel OLS, panel GLM and panel EGLS methods. The empirical analysis clearly showed that an increase in Korea's ODA promotes its own exports. The coefficients of recipients's per capita GDP, population and trade openness have a positive impact on Korea's export respectively, while distance between them has a negative impact. Regarding regional dummy variables, aid for the region of Africa and America have a negative impact on Korea's export. Overall, the main implication of this study is that even if it emphasized Korea's economic interests as determinants of ODA disbursements, but it also suggests that an improvement of recipient's economic development, income distribution and educational environment can be an important concern in the future.

This study aims to assess the development effectiveness of the Paris Declaration (2005). Using data collected by the OECD/DAC from 78 developing countries for the period 2005~2010, this study evaluates the role played by the Paris Declaration principles alone and in interaction with aid in promoting per-capita GDP growth. The analysis shows that the overall net impact of aid on promoting economic growth has been negative. However, aid effectiveness has been enhanced by the sound policies or institutions and some Paris Declaration (PD) principles. Of the five principles of the PD, only the alignment and, to some extent, mutual accountability principles of the PD did show a significant and positive role in making aid more effective for economic growth of aid recipient countries. Therefore, OECD's statement that the PD enhances aid effectiveness is supported only partially. These findings have significant implications for the importance accorded to sound policies and institutions in the growth literature, and for future international development cooperation agenda.

Republic of Korea had undergone a meaningful transformation from aid recipient country to aid donor country and it was the only case among OECD countries. It became the 24th member of DAC in November, 2009. Therefore, it is required that we have to expand assistance which comes up to current economic power of Republic of Korea. However there are weak theoretical consideration about the obligation and justification of foreign aid fundamentally. These researches are almost about communitarianistic, liberalistic perspectives of view but with these, it is hard to enlarge current foreign aid into international level and it also takes a passive approach in obligation to provide. With these contexts in mind, this study proposes cosmotolitanism as an new alternative of foreign aid. This paper seeks to discuss that why we should give assistance to poverty-stricken counties and checking whether we have a obligation of foreign aid or not and the way or the extent to deal with if there is a obligation to help. Cosmotolitanism suggests that whole world is obliged with helping each other to enjoy equal rights and meet the obligation for others because people of the third world countries also have their own lives on the Earth like us and they are sharing all-global plan and future together. The existing discussion took a negative, restrictive attitude but it could mention that there is great relevance to discuss about Cosmotolitanism since it connotes the obligation for the third countries and their people itself.
