경기북부의 접경지역은 우리나라의 왜곡된 정치 현실과 경제적 상황을 가장 극명하게 담아내는 공간이라 할 수 있다. 이 지역은 1955년 이후 국토의 분단으로 인한 인위적인 공간적 단절로 한반도 중심부적 입지에서 대한민국 의 변방으로 입지여건이 수정된 곳이며 군사적, 정치적 이유로 주민들의 공간 행태에 많은 제약과 왜곡을 불러일으키는 공간이다. 접경지역은 서울 성장의 파급효과는 제대로 누리지 못하면서 도리어 과밀방지를 위한 규제의 불이익을 감당해야하는 이중적 제약이 나타나는 공간이다. (중략)

This study aims to elucidate features of the geography assessment of France in which geography has a high status in school curriculum. The main data for analysing are the geography examinations(1999-2013) of the Baccalaur$\acute{e}$at. In terms of objectives of the assessment, the exams put emphasis on promoting cultural knowledges of students and developing their competences in graphic languages. In terms of formal aspect, the exams take a simple layouts to raise a readability, use variable test tools, especially an essay and a 'croquis'. They also emphasize students self-directedly constructing and representing geography knowledges and their inquiry abilities with geography materials. In terms of contents aspect, the exams mainly cover subjects of political-economic geography, particularly a spatial organization, a development inequality and the world powers in global contexts or macro spatial scales. One of a distinguishing characteristics of Baccalaur$\acute{e}$at's History-Geography examinations is that it designs to keep balance between two parties; history and geography.

Changwon Industrial Complex is commonly framed as the best example of strong initiative of the Korean developmental state. And this explanation has been given in the theoretical frame of 'neo-Weberian accounts' i.e., strongly 'national-territorial' and state-centric terms of the predominant. I argue that a geopolitical economy approach focusing on the historical background of the development of Changwon Industrial Complex will shed light on crucial sociospatial dimensions of the Korean developmental state's industrial complex success. I examine, in particular, the multi-scalar processes through which the changes of the industrial complex building plans for the promotion of machine industry in 1960's have been influenced by the complex and dynamic interactions among social actors acting at diverse geographical scales. I show that the formation of the industrial complex in Korea was more heavily influenced by the interactions, contestations, and collaborations among social actors, acting in and through the state, rather than by the state initiative.

경지 개간 과정은 일차적으로 해당 지역의 자연지리적 특색을 반영하고 당대의 자연 환경 극복 기술, 인접 지역과의 교통망과 접근성, 토지 이용에 영향을 주는 경제적, 제도적 여건 변화, 국가 중심지와의 사회ㆍ정치적 구심력 및 원심력 등과의 관련 속에서 전개되므로 형태적 범주 내지 가시적 영역을 넘어서 고찰되어야 할 필요가 있다. (중략)

국경선은 '분리의 선'인 동시에 '접촉의 선'이며 '장벽'인 동시에 '가장자리'이고 '차단'이면서 '접합'이 동시에 존재하는 공간이다. 초국경적 공간은 이런 관점에서 역설적인 측면을 가진다. 과거부터 쌓여온 경험 풍부한 협력 관계가 비록 이 지역은 정치적 의사결정권이나 경제활동의 중심으로부터 멀리 떨어져 있어 주변부에 해당하지만 이런 '협력적 관성'으로 인해 '혁신의 장소'로 성장하려는 적극적인 의지를 보이는 공간이 되기도 한다.(중략)

It is generally found that geography majors' progression in society has a very limited scope in Korea and this is one of the causes of lessening geographers' job market. As an attempt to draw a solution to this problem, this paper, by a close examination of the French case, tries to discuss the possibility of geographers' participation in the public sector. Geographers' participation in political and social issues has long history. They acted as providers of geographical knowledge on human and physical features of the world and also as counsellors for effective administration and politics. French geographers evaluate that it is the characteristics of geography that enable geographers to progress into the public sector. They also perceive that such fields as regional development, environment, economy, tourism, international politics are possible ones for geographers. Some implications can be drawn from this case study to extend geographers' participation in the pubic sector in Korea; it is required to sustain open mind to every field of social sciences, to improve specialized as well as generalized knowledge on geographical features, and to provide practical knowledge on spatial analysis and management.

This paper aims to examine the changes of Korean urban politics with regards to new urbanization under the trends of the globalization and regionalization in the 1990s. First, this study analyzes the various experiences of the developed countries, especially the United States of America, Great Britain and Germany in a view of urban development strategies since the 1970s, and secondly reviews and evaluates theoretical researches on the changing urban politics in the new urbanism. Finally this study suggests new approaches to explain the differentiating changes of urban politics and governance of Korean local and city states.

The goal of the study is to analyze aggressive attempts of China and Japan to construct the Siberia oil pipeline in a direction to its advantage from the political economic perspective. The pipeline is to affect significantly energy Policies in the Northeast Asia in the future. First this Paper reviews the ongoing Processes of the Pipeline construction thus far. Next, domestic and foreign factors in Russia which are related to the laying of the pipeline, were taken into consideration. Applicability of the mercantilist and liberalist approaches to the energy supply of Russia were examined in the situation. As a result, the dualistic approach in energy supply was found to be limited in its real applicabilities and the political economic approach proved to be more suitable in that Russia currently seeks economic security in Northeast Asia. Finally the implications of the Siberia oil pipeline construction were suggested for the current energy situation in Korea.

This paper investigates the current situation of the Gyeonggi border region, which demonstrates the distorted political and economic realities of Korea, in order to gain the basic information that enables the comprehensive understanding of the Gyeonggi border region. This study has found that the 'Law for Protection of Military Facilities' has limited residents' life and economic activities in the region. And, the 'Law for Planning of the Capital Region' has also became another barrier to development of the region. Finally, the analysis of the region's economic condition showed that these regulations have made the Gyeonggi border region a backward periphery.
