North Korea(NK) has designated the special economic zones(SEZs) since the first one in Rason. But, why have the SEZs in NK still not been developed successfully? This study comparatively evaluated the SEZs in China, Vietnam and NK, with respect to 'context/purpose', 'development/management system', and 'location/infrastructure.' NK's strategies for the SEZs were different from those of China and Vietnam in terms of historical context and development purpose. China and Vietnam chose the market opening policy aiming to reform their national economy, while NK tried the opening policy without the economic reform. This difference made NK's decentralization and location strategies marginal. In spite of the positive land system and tax benefit of NK, the strategies couldn't make a successful result. The implications of this comparative study are as follows. Firstly, NK needs to establish a strategy for the SEZs in accord with the comprehensive and long-term plan for economic development and 'trustworthy and substantial market-systems' being compatible with outside world. For that, NK has to secure the regime stability in political and diplomatic dimensions. Secondly, NK has to carry out policies of decentralization and location of the SEZs more positively. Thirdly, in order to solve the problem related to lack of infrastructure capital, NK needs to utilize a BOT scheme.

This paper examines the implications of North Korea's Special Economic Zone (SEZ) strategy since the early 1990s in terms of the shifts in both North Korea's economic system and geopolitical order on the Korean peninsula. Specifically, it analyzes the shifts in North Korea's SEZ policy in three different aspects-North Korea's unique territorial logic, stress on decentralization, and comparison with Chinese reform and opening-up. Based upon this analysis, this paper criticizes a linear approach to understand North Korea's economic transformation from isolation to opening-up, and explores the dynamics of North Korea SEZ strategy in various dimensions. It contends that North Korea's SEZ strategy is neither an inevitable choice from economic difficulty nor an adoption of Chinese model of reform and opening up. Rather this paper focuses on the geopolitical logic and local development imperatives underlying SEZ strategy.

중국경제으 선두 심천. 불과 30여 년 전에는 인구 3만의 조그만 시골이었던 심천은, 1980년 심천이 고향이었던 등소평이 정권을 장악하자마자 가장 처음 '개방구'로 지정하면서 중국 개혁개방의 시발점이 된 곳이다. 경제특구다운 산업 인프라와 긴 역사를 담은 문화유적 및 '세계지창'으로 대변되는 여러 현대적인 관광명소까지 갖춘 매력적인 도시 심천. 중국 경제 발전의 신호탄을 쏜 심천에서 우리 벤처의 새로운 시장도 모색해보면 어떨까?

Recently, it has been emphasized that 'marine special economic zone' need to be designated and developed. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse on successful growth factors of 'marine special economic zone'. This study deals with the terms of three connection success factors which are a firm's subjective factors, a industrial environment factors, and a governmental policy factors. According to analysis results of the three successful growth factors, a firm's subjective factors(4.11 score) are scored at the most ones of the three successful growth factors, to be compared with a industrial environment factors(3.89 score). with a government policy factors(3.72 score). Therefore, first of all, it is important to enhance competitiveness of 'marine special economic zone' through as follows, a firm's subjective factors : (1) to procure concentrated market strategy and real market capacity, (2) to promote customer service, (3) to procure speedy satisfaction of customer needs and confidence, (4) to enhance competitiveness through standing in a trio of connection growth model. And, the next, we have to enhance competitiveness of 'marine special economic zone' through considering a industrial environment factors, that is, sustainable growth of marine industry, clustering of marine industry, expansion of infrastructure, etc., and a government policy factors, that is, leading law improvement and policy of leading 'marine special economic zone' designation and development, etc.,

본 연구는 두만강지역의 에너지 자원개발에 관한 연구에서 전력산업을 중심으로 다루었으며 연구범위는 연변 조선족 자치주 수도 연길과 러시아의 군사항 블라디보스톡 그리고 북한의 청진을 잇는 대삼각지대(Tumen River Economic Development Area: TREDA)로 하였다. TREDA내에 2020년의 국가별 총전력수요는 중국 9,052 Gwh, 북한 8,989 Gwh, 러시아 15,662 Gwh이며, 1991년-2020년간의 년평균 증가율은 중국 8.4%, 북한 5.9%, 러시아 3.1%로 전망된다. 따라서 발전소 건설계획은 3개국(중국-북한-러시아)전력계통연계 방안이 가장 경제적인 것으로 나타났으며, 송변전계통은 각국이 주파수가 상이하여 전력계통의 연계가 경제적, 기술적으로 타당성 검토가 곤란하나 계통연계시 기존 설비의 보완 및 설비운용면에서 제도적 보완책이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 전기요금은 국가에서 통제, 결정하여 왔다. 그러나 두만강개발특구는 자유무역경제특구이므로 시장경제체제에 의한 발전소 건설 계획을 전제로 한 한계비용이 68원/Kwh일때 자원의 효율적 배분과 사회 후생을 극대화할 수 있다는 것이다. 단기적으로 TREDA사업초기에는 환경설비를 갖춘 재래식 석유 및 석탄화력 발전소가 투자 부담면에서 유리하나 향후 환경규제를 대비하기 위해서는 원자력발전의 건설도 환경영향을 최소화할 수 있는 방안으로 모색될 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract: Korea has designated free economic zones to build the foundation for national economic development by setting up special economic zones to be more competitive in cities. On August 5, 2003, the government designated Songdo, Yeongjong and Cheongna districts in Incheon as free economic zones. But while the development should have been completed nearly three years before the end of the development, the development has been slow and the population, foreign direct investment and other business results are far from the initial plan. Therefore, in this study, we will investigate the various problems occurring in the Incheon Free Economic Zone, investigate the causes of the problem, and then compare and analyze the Incheon Free Economic Zone and China's special economic zones. The two institutions share similar characteristics in many areas, but the Incheon Free Economic Zone system has yet to be settled, as the special economic zone has played a significant role in economic development in China. Therefore, the study is expected to find a solution to the problems of the free economic zones in Incheon and provide directions for future development.
