시진핑 시대를 맞이하여 중국은 국제사회에서 높아진 중국의 위상에 부응하는 지위와 권한을 인정받을 수 있는 외교정책으로서 최소한의 요구조건이 바로 핵심 이익(Core interests)을 지켜내는 것이며 이와 관련하여 국정목표로 '중국의 꿈'의 실현을 제시했다. 이에 따라 중국은 해양 분야에서 해양강국의 특징으로 다음 네 가지를 들고 있다. 첫째는 해양 경제 발전이며, 둘째는 해양 과학기술의 혁신, 셋째는 우아하고 아름다운 해양생태환경 조성, 넷째는 해양 방위능력을 중강하여 국가주권을 효과적으로 방위하고 해양의 평화발전을 수호하는 강력한 실력을 갖추는 것이다. 작금의 정세에서 보여지듯이 중국은 서해를 비롯하여 동·남중국해에서 매우 도전적인 해양활동을 보이고 있다. 이는 그동안 미국의 지역에 안정과 평화를 유지하기 위해 군사력을 주둔시켜 온 미국의 동아시아 해상정책에 대한 도전으로도 인식되기에 충분하다. 그렇다면 이에 대한 미국의 역할은 무엇인가. 필자는 다음 네 가지를 주장한다. 첫째, 더 좋은 상황 조성을 위해 역할 한다. 둘째, 모든 문제에 대해 방관자적인 입장에 선다. 셋째, 중국에 대해 보다 강경한 입장을 취한다. 넷째, 현상유지를 위해 노력한다.

최근 몇 년 동안 나타난 러시아 해군의 부활(resurgence)은 우크라이나 사태로 본 러시아 군사력 증강을 대표하는 상징이다. 전통적으로 러시아 해양전략(Sea power)은 러시아 경제 및 안보 목표를 달성하는데 있어 핵심이었다. 러시아 해군은 주로 전략적 억제, 연안방어, 해상교통로 보호, 해외전개 그리고 군사력 투사 등의 임무를 수행한다. 특히 최근 들어 러시아 해군력이 양적 질적으로 증강되는 양상을 보이고 있으며, 이는 최근 잠수함, 수상함 그리고 해군항공 전력이 크게 증강되고 있는 현상에서 증명되고 있다. 이는 불과 몇 년 전까지 러시아 해군력에 대한 정비 및 작전 운용에 있어 많은 문제점을 보이던 부정적 사례와 현격히 다른 모습이다. 특히 푸틴 정부에 들어서 러시아 해군은 양적이며 질적인 증강뿐만이 아닌, 세계 해양에서의 원해 해군작전을 비록 지금은 간헐적이기는 하지만 활발히 실시하고 있으며, 러시아 주변국 해군과의 다양한 해군협력도 추진하고 있다. 궁극적으로 러시아 해군은 단기적으로 연안방어를 기본 임무로 수행할 것이나, 장기적으로는 과거 구소련 해군력 위상과 영향력을 부활시키기 위해 세계 무대에서의 군사적 영향력을 증진시키는 대양해군(Blue Water Navy)을 지향할 것이다.

Established on February 1st, 2010, The ROKN maritime task flotilla has a goal to successfully cope with North Korea and other potential threats. Unlike precedents of its kind, The ROKN maritime task flotilla is expected to concentrate more an far-sea strategies than coastal strategies. In such circumstances however, the existing maritime logistics systems have limitations upon which to utterly support the operation conception of the ROKN maritime task flotilla seven. To ensure it's efficiency, transformation of the systems is prerequisite. The purpose of this study is to deduce an adequate maritime logistics system for the ROKN maritime task flotilla by evaluating the limitation of the current system and foreseeing its performance necessary abilities to operate in the future. In order to do this, the study presented problems and the direction of development on the structural and behavioral sides. Fist, regarding problems in the structure of maritime logistics system, the investigation pronounced the need of improvement in mobile logistics support ability and its speed. In addition, for the behavioral side, the need of improvement in logistics cooperation system and self-maintenance ability was affirmed. For the development of an adequate maritime logistics system, the study suggested the amelioration in the operation of an adequate mobile logistics support platform and the speed of the logistics using high-speed transportation such as planes for the structural side. Moreover, for the behavioral side, it recommended th enhancement of logistics cooperation system including the nations that already imported th weapon system, amelioration of self-maintenance ability, and necessity to operate mobile maintenance group.

This thesis analyzes Somali piracy as a non-traditional threat to the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) and international countermeasures to the piracy. In an era of globally interdependent economies, the protection of sea lines and freedom of navigation are prerequisites for the development of states. Since the post-Cold War began in the early 1990s, ocean piracy has emerged as a significant threat to international trade. For instance, in the Malacca Strait which carries 30 percent of the world's trade volume, losses from failed shipping, insurance, plus other subsequent damages were enormous. Until the mid-2000s, navies and coast guards from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, together with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), conducted anti-piracy operations in the Strait of Malacca. The combined efforts of these three maritime states, through information sharing and with reinforced assets including warships and patrol aircrafts, have successfully made a dent to lower incidents of piracy. Likewise, the United Nations' authorization of multinational forces to operate in Somali waters has pushed interdiction efforts including patrol and escort flotilla support. This along with self-reinforced security measures has successfully helped lower piracy from 75 incidents in 2012 to 15 in 2013. As illustrated, Somali piracy is a direct security threat to the international community and the SLOC which calls for global peacekeeping as a countermeasure. Reconstructing the economy and society to support public safety and stability should be the priority solution. Emphasis should be placed on restoring public peace and jurisdiction for control of piracy as a primary countermeasure.

과거 3-4년 전까지 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 유일하게 논의되고 있었던 현실적 대안은 eLoran이었다. eLoran은 기존에 활용성이 낮아져 서비스가 점차 중단되고 있는 로란-C 시설을 개선하여 보다 높은 PNT 성능을 제공하도록 고안되었다. 기존에 로란-C 시설이 있는 국가나 지역에서는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 eLoran을 효과적으로 확보할 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 기존 로란-C 시설을 이미 철거하였거나, 로란-C 시설을 가지고 있지 않았던 국가 입장에서는 eLoran을 확보하기 위해 로란-C 시설을 보유한 국가보다 더 많은 시설구축 비용이 필요하게 된다. 반면에 R-Mode는 현재 해상에서 활용되고 있는 전파신호를 이용하므로 신규 전파항법 인프라 구축에 따른 큰 투자 없이 적은 비용으로 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템을 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 대한민국은 세계에서 유일하게 국가안보적 측면에서 GPS 전파간섭의 위협을 받고 있는 국가이다. 대한민국이 직면한 GPS 전파간섭은 해외에서 보고되고 있는 좁은 지역에서의 개인적 소규모 전파간섭과는 차원이 다르다. 특히 지난 2016년 3월 말, 우리나라는 약 엿새간 수도권과 강원지역 등이 동시에 GPS 전파간섭의 영향권 안에 든 바 있다. 이때 GPS 전파간섭은 과거에 발생한 GPS 전파간섭보다 더 넓은 지역에 영향을 주었고, 어선과 같은 소규모 선박의 조업까지 방해하는 피해를 안겼다. 본 논문은 대한민국이 하루 속히 해결해야 할 현안으로 인식되고 있는 위성전파항법시스템의 백업 시스템으로 중파 비컨 R-Mode를 적용할 필요가 있는지 논하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce United States Coast Guard (USCG) in order to suggest a direction to advance the system of Korea Coast Guard. After the effect of United Nations on the Law of the Sea in 1994, the world is facing with new era of maritime age with emergence of new maritime border 'Exclusive Economic Zone(EEZ)'. Along with new maritime era, Korea also has been facing with the conflicts caused from EEZ. Also, there is a increasing concern about maritime safety and security since people looking for maritime tourism and leisure sports are dramatically increasing in Korea. Moreover, national security matters are a big issue in Korea due to the several incidents occurred in the sea such as the attack on Yeon-Pyung Island and the sinking of Cheonan naval vessel. Arising concern on these issues in maritime space requires Korea Coast Guard to handle these effectively. However, the systematical and structural limitation of Korea Coast Guard limits the effective management of recent issues. The United States Coast Guard which is considered as one of the military force in the United States has continuously reformed and developed its system and structure to better handle the maritime safety and security issues through developing project such as the Integrated Deep Water system. Also, maritime police system and structure in the United States is different with in Korea. This study expects to suggest a way to advance the system and structure of Korea Coast Guard through examination of United States Coast Guard and comparing maritime police system and structure between Korea and the United States in order to properly deal with the maritime safety and security issues arising recently.

South Korea and Vietnam have been engaged in extensive political, economic and cultural exchanges since the establishment of diplomaticties in 1992. In March 2018, Moon Jae-in, President of South Korea, made an official visit to Vietnam, a key partner of the New Southern Policy and discussed comprehensive cooperation measures, including expanding trade volume and measures to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula. At the defense ministers' meeting held in April 2018, the two countries signed a joint defense and defense cooperation statement, which included promotion of maritime security, defense cooperation, UN PKO activities, excavation of remains, and joint military cooperation. Currently, Vietnam is facing territorial disputes with China over the South China Sea, and is stepping up military modernization and military buildup to counter this. In particular, Vietnam is strengthening its external military cooperation beyond ideology with the U.S., Russia, India and France to strengthen its maritime power. Against this backdrop, the bilateral cooperation between South Korea and Vietnam needs to expand beyond the traditional economic and cultural exchanges to military cooperation. The study aims to review the relationship between South Korea and Vietnam on the 26th anniversary of the normalization of diplomaticties and seek ways to develop military cooperation with Vietnam, which has grown to the next China. To that end, it analyzed Vietnam's security environment and military strategy and presented strategies for promoting military cooperation focusing on defense areas.

In international armed conflict, 'the contraband of war' under 'the law of neutrality' was developed to balance the interests of belligerents' belligerent rights and neutrals' economic interests and it began to change and evolve with the development of trade in the 19th century. The scope of material control expanded during the First and Second World Wars and continues to this day. In particular, a trend toward preventing the military use of 'conditional contraband' that could be used for both military and civilian purposes. In the process, the law regulating contraband of war expanded conceptually to become an 'international export control system' led by international organizations. Today, the contraband of war is still in effect, but there are no laws or guidelines related to the contraband of war in Korea in case of an emergency for the Korean Peninsula. Considering that it is an international practice to create and publicize a list of the contraband of war, it is necessary for Korea to prepare for it. Therefore, this paper examines the historical origins and development of the law regulating of war under the law of neutrality and examines the state practice of the contraband of war control over time. In doing so, this paper will examine the implications of the law regulating contraband of war for the Korean Peninsula through changing in the law regulating contraband of war and state practice.

Despite international cooperation, piracy has not yet been eradicated in major waters around the world. From the perspective of South Korea, which is absolutely dependent on exporting and importing, it's a lifeline for us to secure safe maritime traffic so it is a situation we have to be vigilant about maritime safety and security. However, criminal law on punishment of piracy is still insufficient and legislative consideration is needed. Since pirates are regarded as enemies of humankind, all nations can punish pirates regardless of their damage. The international community has done its best in cooperation from hundreds of years ago to secure maritime trade through this universal jurisdiction and marine transportation in international waters which is an essential space for military activities, particularly in the Gulf of Aden, the advanced nations have dispatched fleets to combat maritime security threats through joint operations to crack down on Somali pirates. Even if universal jurisdiction is allowed for piracy in accordance with the International Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, it is difficult to effectively deal with piracy if it not fully complied with a domestic legal system for this purpose or is stipulated as different from international regulations. In other words, universal jurisdiction corresponding to international norms and constitution of piracy should be defined in criminal law in accordance with criminal statutory law. If the punishment of pirates by unreasonably applying our criminal law without prejudice to such work can lead to diplomatic disputes in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or other international norms. In South Korea, there is no provision to explicitly prescribe piracy as a crime, but punish similar acts like piracy in criminal law and maritime safety law. However, there is a limit to effective piracy punishment because we are not fully involved in internationally accepted piracy. In this study, we critically examine the proposals of the constitutional elements of piracy, propose the legislative direction, and insist on the introduction of globalism to pirate sins.

It is needless to say that the port security is very important owing to the geographic setting of Korea and the possibility of the provocation by North Korea. In addition, The security management is necessary for the port and the domain of maritime to block the inflow from overseas because of the increase of international crime as terrorism. The training system for port security guard should be constructed to secure the specialization of the manpower for the efficient port security management. But the training system of port security manpower is not unified and the training is not carried out, therefore it is necessary to improve the training system of port security manpower. In this study, the improvement plan of training system is suggested as follows. First, the unification of the legislation of port security should achieved to establish the guidance of training for port security guard. Second, the specialized training per activities should be done. And lastly, the qualification system should be introduced for the specialization of port security manpower.
