This study reviews the concept and protection system for the geographical Indication(GI) to support the Korea-EU FTA. A geographical indication(GI) is a name or sign used on certain products or which corresponds to a specific geographical indication or origin (eg. a town, region, or country). The use of a GI may act as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin. In the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual property Rights("TRIPS"). There are, in effect, two basic obligations from Article 22 to article 23 on WTO member governments relating to GIs in the TRIPS agreement. Geographical Indications have long been associated with Europe as an entity, where there is a tradition of associating certain food products with particular regions, Under European Union Law, the protected designation of origin system which came into effect in 1992 and 2003 regulates the following geographical indications: Protected designation of origin(PDO) and protected geographical indication(PGI) and Traditional Specialty Guaranteed(TSG). They have 5,000 articles for GI. We have the GI system and 40 articles rotating to registration by the law for quality management of production in agriculture. Cinclusinally, geographical indications could potentially serve as tools to helf holders of trade benefit more equitable through the mutual Acceptance for Korea-EU FTA.

본 논문에서는 하이브리드라디오 서비스를 성공적으로 도입하기 위해 필요한 정책적 조건들을 제안한다. 하이브리드라디오는 그 UI(User Interface) 특성과 오디오 방송 콘텐츠 외 서비스 구현으로 인해 기존 지상파플랫폼 외 추가적인 플랫폼이 필요하며, 이들 플랫폼을 구축하고 운영하는 새로운 플랫폼사업자의 등장을 수반하게 된다. 콘텐츠공급자와 플랫폼사업자가 일치하던 지상파 방송 산업과 달리 콘텐츠사업자와 플랫폼사업자가 분리되는 산업에서는 소수 플랫폼사업자가 다수 콘텐츠사업자에 비해 협상력 우위에 서는 역학관계가 생기게 되고, 이런 게임의 룰에 익숙하지 않고 사업적 규모도 영세한 지상파라디오 사업자들은 힘겹고 불공정한 사업 환경 속에 던져지는 상황을 맞게 될 수도 있다. 따라서 플랫폼사업자와 콘텐츠사업자가 상생하면서도 경쟁의 효율을 높이기 위해선 정교한 정책적, 제도적 장치가 필요하다. 또 하이브리드라디오가 기존 라디오 산업 내 제로섬 경쟁을 넘어 전체 이용자 규모를 확대하고 이를 효과적으로 수익과 연결하기 위해서는, 하이브리드라디오의 기술적 특성이 수용자에게 의미 있는 편익이 될 수 있도록 하이브리드라디오의 사업적 가능성을 충분히 활성화할 수 있는 제도 개선이 필요하다. 마지막으로 급변하는 미디어 빅뱅 상황에서 유의미한 유효 기간 내에 하이브리드라디오라는 신규 콘텐츠 유통 플랫폼을 성공적으로 도입하기 위해서는 산업 플레이어 간 불필요한 오해를 줄여 무의미한 논란을 최소화해야 한다.

This study is based on a review of how and in which stages evidence can be used, in practice, in the policy process and proposes an information analysis framework capable of inducing continuous interaction among stakeholders and an operation procedure that allows experts to reconcile conflicts through the analyzed information. In particular, it focuses on the strategic planning process carried out in the policy formation stage of the R&D policy process, which promotes the creation of knowledge related to science and technology required to improve national competitiveness and solve social and environmental problems. Conflicts are negotiated and resolved by ensuring rationality in the policy process, following the operation procedure and inducing communication between the stakeholders participating in national R&D strategic planning related to the issue of population aging throughout utilizing the provided useful information. Our results showed that the proposed operating procedures and information analysis framework had a positive effect on the communication-oriented shift. Thus, in order to promote conflict management, an agreed operating procedures and information analysis framework should be established between stakeholders, thereby reducing a conflict of opinions in advance. This article realizes the true meaning of movement of evidence-based policies. In addition, the framework is helping support evidence-based R&D policies by strengthening rational behavior.

The Ministerial Declaration of the 4th WTO Ministerial Meeting at Doha in November 2001 announced the launch of the New Round and a completion date of January 1st, 2005. It agreed to eventually negotiate trade and environment linkage issues, such as the relationship between the WTO rules and Multilateral Environment Agreements and the reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental goods and services. The Committee on Trade and Environment was instructed to pursue work on all items on its agenda within the current terms of reference and to give particular attention to the effects of environmental measures on market access, relevant provisions of the TRTPS Agreement, and labelling requirements for environmental purposes. This means that far the first time, the members of the WTO will discuss and negotiate trade and environment linkage in the framework of multilateral trade negotiation. Korea, from the standpoint of a smaller open economy heavily dependent on international trade, is obliged to overcome the challenges imposed by the environment agenda in the Doha declaration. This study examined the linkage among environment, economic growth and international trade in order to review the possible trade and environment policy implications in Korea. Mutual supportiveness of trade and environment depends much on the effectiveness of trade and environment policy coordination. In this regard, we conclude that the Korean government should provide an appropriate institutional framework to promote closer cooperation among policy makers engaged in negotiations. Trade and environment policy review and environmental impact assessment of trade negotiation should be considered as a work programme of this institutional policy coordination framework.

P3P(Platform for Privacy Preference) that is used in the World Wide Web is a standard to define and negotiate policies about definition, transmission, collection, and maintenance of personal information. Current P3P standard provides methods that define client personal information protection policy and P3P policy associated with web server. It also provides a method that compares these two policies. The current P3P standard, however, does not handle detail functions for safe transmission of the personal information and data. Also, it does not handle problems that can be induced by the detail functions. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, we propose a Secure P3P(S-P3P) protocol, which is a security protocol for the current P3P standard, offers mutual authentication between the web server and the client, and guarantees integrity and confidentiality of the messages and data. Furthermore, a S-P3P protocol provides non-repudiation on transmission and reception of personal information that is transmitted from the client to the web server.

Throughout intensive negotiations on the KORUS FTA and even after its ratification on March 15, 2012, ISD (Investor-State Dispute Settlement) has been at the center of many controversies within the FTA. Although the original function of the ISD is intended to be a protectional measure for foreign investors, there have been many foreign investors who tried to use the ISD as a tool to attack a government and nullify the public policy demanding tremendous amount of compensation. Many of the NAFTA ISD cases including Ehtyl v. Canada and UPS v. Canada demonstrate such a behavior by foreign investors. It is the right time for Korean government to conduct in depth studies on NAFTA ISD cases because the precedents provide invaluable insights including the legal reasoning by the decision making authorities including ICSID and UNCITRAL. The lessons we would learn from those cases would prepare Korean government for expected ISD claims by foreign investors and enable the government to maximize its efficiency in policy making process under a new international trade environment, the KORUS FTA.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategic behaviors of the Broadcasting advocacy coalition and IT advocacy coalition in the process of establishing the Korea Communications Commission(KCC) in 2008. Broadcasting and telecommunications convergence policy has been confronted with long-term conflicts because of ideological clashes between public interest and industrialism and stakeholder relations. Under this circumstance, the two advocacy coalitions sought to bring out the favorable outcomes through strategic behavior. However, the strategic behaviors were limited, and the establishment of the Korea Communications Commission was decided by political negotiation. Since then, KCC has been buried in political issues and has produced policy failure cases. In order to reduce these adverse effects, it is necessary to establish institutional devices in the reorganization process. Above all, efforts are needed to overcome the practice of using organizational restructuring as a political tool.

In this study, we propose a consensus-building support system to engage various stakeholders, transparently disseminate information, ensure objective decision-making, and reflect the view of each stakeholder as a methodology or tool for resolving conflicts that may arise in the process of implementing water environment policies and plans. The system suggests ways to resolve issues by engaging all interested actors and not just a few influential groups of stakeholders imposing their solutions upon local users. The system provides an environment where stakeholders can find solutions to conflicts through their own efforts, mediating competing interests through the interactions such as negotiations and conciliation to reach a consensus. To verify the applicability of the proposed consensus-building support system, simulated role-playing albeit restricted was conducted on the case of the Hantangang Dam construction. The simulation validated that open discussions and negotiations with the local community or NGO by the government increased the efficacy of negotiations.

Recently national technology commercialization policy using the outcomes of public R&D has been promoting the activities of technology transfer and licensing. Firms also are considering licensing strategies to make great strides and strengthen their future competitiveness. In the licensing deals, objective and reasonable royalty determination is required to be accepted for both negotiation parties. This study analyzed the appropriate royalty range for various types of business and established three royalty influential factors with ten valuation items to explain royalty difference. This study suggested new method to estimate rationally reasonable running royalty rate, combining the appropriate royalty range from classic 25% rule and the result evaluated from royalty influential factors. The adequacy of royalty range from classic 25% rule is confirmed because its range is similar to that of royalty of transfer cases. The final estimate of running royalty can be made from linear function for royalty determination using the results of royalty range and royalty influential factors. This method suggested here is expected to practically useful to determine an appropriate running royalty rate for licensing negotiation.

In accordance with the promotional strategy of the 'simultaneously occurring and high-level comprehensive FTA that Korean government made clear in the FTA promotion roadmap in 2003, it has already entered into FTA with 22 countries such as Chile, Singapore, EU, MERCOSUR, ASEAN and the like but is progressing or promoting the negotiation about FTA. It is necessary to make efforts to lift all sorts of non-tariff barriers that put restrictions on the import of China with the promotion of the lowering of customs duties in the negotiation of FTA between Korea and China. It is anticipated that imports will be expanded in the manufacturing field as well as agricultural products with the efforts to improve the business management environment of Korean firms within China. Therefore, it is a very important task to make efforts to prevent the roundabout trade made via China by reinforcing the standard and criterion for the origin of country in the Korea China FTA.
