Currently the nations which join the WTO shall observe understanding on rules and procedures governing the settlement of disputes in WTO agreement. In addition this agreement provides it will be able to apply dispute settlement mechanism of the WTO. Korea and the United States are accomplishing an important role as the core members of the WTO. Regardless of this, The Korea - US FTA is providing a separate dispute settlement system. This paper pursues a comparative analysis concerning rules and procedures of dispute settlement between The Korea - US FTA and the WTO, and furthermore derives problems from the viewpoint of effectiveness, and suggests alternatives and implications in view of trade policy. I hope this study contributes to setting-up and development of national trade policy and is applied to FTA negotiation hereafter.

WTO 세계무역기구의 발족과 더불어 국가간의 개방과 정책에 따라 건설시장은 물론 사회 전 분야에 걸쳐 새로운 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 건축 관련 부분은 민간사업뿐 아니고 정부 조달시장까지도 개방되어 정부부처나 지방 자치단체에서 구매하는 물품(설계 및 시공 포함)에 외국업체가 참여하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 건축 설계의 경우 "서비스 무역에 관한 일반 협정"에 의해 원칙적인 기준만 체결되어 있을 뿐 상호인증에 관한 세부사항은 서로의 제도가 동일하거나 합의한 나라를 제외하고는 당사국간의 상이한 제도와 운영체제로 인하여 실용화되고 있지 않고 있다. 국내에서는 지난 4년간 "국가를 상대로 하는 계약에 관한 법률"을 제정하고 건설제도 기획단을 운영하여 시장개방에 대처해 왔으나 국제적인 건축 설계 관련 단체인 UIA와는 의견 교환이 없었다. 특히 상호인증에 따른 기본 요건으로 대두되고 있는 건축교육, 실습 및 훈련, 건축사 자격 등에 대한 우리의 입장을 정리하여 국제적으로 대응할 필요성이 요구되고 있으며 건축설계 관련자들에게 매우 중요한 관심사의 하나로 되어 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 논의하기 위해 국제건축가연맹(UIA)에서는 용역실무협의회를 설치하여 이미 2년여에 걸쳐 인정방법에 대한 세부사항을 검토하고 있으며, 올해(6월) 북경 총회에서 상호인정 표준안을 공포할 예정이다. 이와 관련하여 건축3단체(대한건축사협회, 대한건축학회, 한국건축가협회)주관으로 건축사자격 상호인정에 대한 공동 대응책을 논의하고자 건축계와 정부가 함께 참석하여 토론회를 개최한 바 있으며, 또한 본협회 국제위원회에서 한국측을 대표하여 지난 98년 12월에 열린 UIA 용역실무위원회(PPC)에 참석하여 상호인정에 대한 우리측 입장을 개진한 바 있다. 이에 본지에서는 문호 개방에 따른 한국건축의 현안에 대한 현실적이고 구체적인 문제점이 검토되고 아울러 우리 건축계의 입장 정리와 실질적인 의견을 수렴하고자 UIA 국제 표준안 전문에 이어 부록을 정리하여 게재한다.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to provide the framework for development of a genetic counseling training program, and an accreditation and certification process suitable for non-M.D. genetic counselors in Korea. Materials and Methods: Global standards of genetic counseling curriculums, training program accreditation (TPA), and the certification process for genetic counselors (CPGC) in the U.S.A and Japan were reviewed, and a questionnaire survey was performed to elicit opinions among health-care providers including physicians, nurses, technicians, researchers, and educators. In addition, input from professional communities, including the Korean Society of Medical Genetics (KSMG) and Institute for Genetic Testing Evaluation, was sought in formulating the framework of this study. Results: Comparison of U.S.A. and Japan educational systems showed similarities in curriculum, accreditation, and certification programs. Analysis of 117 respondents opinions showed a high level of agreement in the area of global standards; 88% indicated that KSMG should be in charge of TPA and CPGC, while 77% favored a certification exam composed of both written exam and interview components. Conclusion: Based upon this study we propose that the KSMG should be in charge of providing the TPA and CPGC for non-MD genetic counselors. Requirements for the entrance to a Master's degree genetic counseling program should be open to successful four year undergraduate students in all areas, provided the candidates demonstrate the abilities to master the graduate level of study in human genetics, clinical genetics, statistics, psychology, and other required subjects. Eligibility for certification should include qualified candidates of genetic counseling with no formally approved education, but a sufficient amount of clinical experience, in addition to accredited program graduates. Certification examinations should be carried out every two years and the certification should be good for five years, as is the case in Japan.

However, up to the present, there is a debating which services will charge for management for the private investigation business. It is important that which facilities will assume charge of management for the private investigation business because this is a cornerstone to set up a successful investigation act which fulfills a nation's needs in the future. According to the other countries which induced the act earlier, they, by perceiving the act as a part of the private security, manage the act by setting the police or the separate services such as committees. In municipal laws, there was a case suggesting The National Police Agency and The Justice Department as the facilities for the management and supervision, however, for the unification of administration for the whole private security, similarities of the private investigation and police service, privacy of police services, and development for the domestic private security business, the national police agency, taking care of the private security business, should be assigned as the department for management and supervision, additionally, suggestion to establish "The Management Committee for Private Investigation Business" as a separate facility under the national police agency is needed.

Article 117, Paragraph 1 of the 「Constitution」 states that "Local governments may enact provisions relating to local autonomy, within the limit of Acts and subordinate statutes". It restricts the enactment of effective self-government laws. The fundamental problem-solving is securing the right to self-governing legislation through constitutional amendment. Therefore, it must be revised to "Local governments can make regulations on self-government to the extent that they handle resident welfare affairs in accordance with the subsidiarity and do not violate the law." In the long-term perspective, the current education council problem, which is contrary to the constitution, has to be revived as a constitutional independent education committee system, and the voting agency and the executive agency must go together and education councilors must have about 10 years of experience in education and education administration. The current superintendent's election system is of great significance in establishing democratic legitimacy by ensuring residents' right to vote and securing a superintendent's representation of residents. It hasn't been long since the system was implemented, but there are some side effects and it is argued that the election system should be replaced by the appointment by the head of the local government, the running mate system or the joint registration system. However it is thought that it is necessary to minimize and supplement the side effects rather than fixing the system as it violates the Constitution of the local education autonomy system.

정부는 2018.2.8일 국정현안점검조정회의를 통해 국무조정실, 금융위원회, 기획재정부, 고용노동부, 중소벤처기업부 등 관계부처 합동으로 "사회적금융 활성화 방안"을 최종 확정하였다. 한국의 사회적금융은 보조 기부행위가 아닌 투자 융자 보증 등 회수를 전제로 사회적기업, 협동조합, 자활기업, 마을기업 등 사회적경제기업에게 다양한 자금을 지원하는 금융활동 전반을 말한다. 현재 민간의 자발적인 금융지원활동도 일부 있으나, 정부 공공재원 중심으로 기존의 서민금융진흥원의 사회적기업 신용대출, 중진공의 정책자금 대출, 신보 지신보 특례보증, 사회적기업 모태펀드 등 중기 서민 정책금융체계내의 사업이 대다수를 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 한국의 사회적금융은 미국과 일본, 영국 등의 선진국에 비하면 이제 태동기로서, 사회적경제기업은 자금 공급부족, 제도 금융권에서의 소외 등 자금조달에 큰 애로를 겪고 있다. 따라서, 공공부문 주도로 자금공급을 확대하고 있으나, 사회적경제기업의 자금수요에는 아직도 크게 미치지 못하는 상황이다. 특히, 지원방식이 짧은 만기, 대출 보증에 편중되는 등 사회적경제의 특수성에 대한 고려가 미흡하여 수요-공급 간 미스매치도 큰 상황과 자금수요자와 투자자를 이어주는 사회적금융 중개기관, 사회적성과 평가 등 시장 인프라도 전반적으로 크게 미비 되어 있어 민간의 참여를 제약하는 것도 그 이유이다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 시회적금융지원제도의 전반적인 현장의 실태를 중심으로 실무적인 측면에서 분석 및 향후과제를 도출하여 관계기관 등에 정책적인 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.
