  • How should we conceptualize regions? What is the context in which new approaches to regional study take place? What is the role of historical change in the reconceptualization of regions or areas? This article addresses this issue by using two case studies to shed light on the history of regional study by comparing some of the ways in which the Middle East and Southeast Asia have been conceptualized. Accordingly, the discussion traces the ways in which these areas were understood in the 19th century by highlighting the ideas of a number of influential Victorian thinkers. The Victorians are useful because not only did British thinkers play critical roles in the shaping of modern patterns of knowledge, but their empire was global in scope, encompassing parts of both Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, the Victorians regarded these places quite differently: Southeast Asia was frequently described as "Further India" and the Middle East was the home of the Ottoman Empire. Both of these places were at least partly understood in relation to the needs of British policy-makers, who tended to focus most of their efforts according to the needs of India-which was their most important colonial possession. The article exhibits the connections between the "Eastern Question" and end of the Ottoman Empire (and the political developments which followed) led to the creation of the concept of "Middle East". With respect to Southeast Asia, attention will be devoted to the works of Alfred Russell Wallace, Hugh Clifford, and others to see how "further India" was understood in the 19th century. In addition, it is clear that the successful deployment of the term "Southeast Asia" reflected the political needs of policy makers in wake of decolonization and the Cold War. Finally, by showing the constructive nature of regions, the article suggests one possible new path for students of Southeast Asia. If the characterization of the region is marked by arbitrary factors, it may actually point to a useful avenue of enquiry, a hermeneutic of expedience. Emphasis on the adaptive and integrative features of lived realities in Southeast Asia may well be a step beyond both the agendas of "colonial knowledge" and anti-colonial nationalism.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 각 대륙별 한국의 수출입액 동향을 살펴보고, 향후 한국 수출을 증대하기 위한 방안을 찾아보는데 있다. 각 대륙은 아시아, 유럽, 북미, 중남미, 중동을 선정하였다. 분석기간은 2000년 1월부터 2018년 4월까지 총 220개월이며, 관세청에서 자료를 수집하였다. 회귀분석결과, Coefficient가 아시아, 유럽, 북미, 중동, 중남미 순으로 높게 나왔다. 각 대륙별 시장은 서로 독립적으로 움직이고, t통계량과 p-value($${\leq_-}0.01$$)에서 통계적으로 유의하게 산출되었다. 최근 유럽, 중동, 중남미가 새로운 시장으로 부각되고 있다. 향후 한국의 수출 증대를 위해서는 중국과 동남아시아를 비롯한 아시아 시장에 대한 지속적인 관심이 필요하다. 또한 새로운 시장으로 떠오르는 유럽, 중동, 중남미에 대한 수출비중을 높이기 위해 효율적인 대응전략을 마련해야 한다.

  • This article presents a brief reconstruction of the historic journey of Benedict the Pole and John of Pian de Carpine, the first known Europeans after A.D. 900 who completed a successful return journey east of Baghdad and gave surviving accounts of their travels. The article, which focuses mainly on the role of Benedict the Pole, is divided into five parts: the reasons and organization of the deputation sent to the Mongols by Pope Innocent IV from 1245-1248, the route travelled by the Papal envoys, the existing versions of the two surviving accounts of the mission, the role of Benedict the Pole as the secretary and translator to the papal legate Pian de Carpine, and the outcome of the journey as seen from the perspective of Europe-Asia contacts.

  • This study is concerned with the slsl 瑟瑟. The identity, origins of the word, kinds, the place of production, and the sues of he sl sl were examined. The world sl sl means the sapphire. The Chinese word se se(seh seh), 瑟瑟 was derived from the Hebrew word, she she meaning marble. The use, meaning and the phonetic value of the sl sl between the Chinese and the Hebrew were the same each other. It indicates that the Chinese word se se(seh seh) was the transliteration of the Hebrew word she she. The sl sl were produced in the Middle East Asia and the sl sl used in ancient China was mainly originated from the Middle East Asia. The sl sl of Silla was also the sapphire and it was an article of the imported goods from the Middle East Asia. Women of Jin gol(true bone) were not use the sl sl as a material to decorate for their combs and headdresses. Also women of yuk du pum (six du pum) were prohibited to use the sl sl as a material for their combs. It indicates that the privilege to use the sl sl for a comb and in a head dress was restricted to the queen in Silla and it remained as a symbol of nobility and dignity.

  • 본 논문의 목적은 지난 2010년 이후 우리의 수출 대상인 아시아, 북미, 유럽, 중남미, 중동, 아프리카를 중심으로 수출액의 상승률 동향과 변동성 그리고 상관관계와 모형분석 등을 살펴보고 향후 성장 방향을 찾아보는데 있다. 분석 결과 아시아, 북미, 유럽, 중남미, 중동, 아프리카 순으로 높은 수출 비중을 보여주었으며 수출액 상승률은 아시아, 북미, 유럽이 상대적으로 높게 나타났고 전윌대비 변동률은 아시아와 북미가 안정된 움직임을 보여주었다. 이 연구를 통해 우리의 수출액을 증가시키기 위해서는 아시아, 북미, 유럽으로의 수출 향상에 많은 관심을 보여야 할 것이다. 특히 50%가 넘는 아시아 즉, 중국, 일본, 베트남, 홍콩, 대만, 인도 등으로 수출 향상과 수출전략 방안이 필요해 보인다. 아직은 수출 비중이 크지 않지만 향후 중남미, 중동, 아프리카 등의 신시장 개척에도 많은 관심을 가지고 수출향상방안이 체계적으로 진행되기를 기대해 본다.

  • 1980년대 중반 이후 해외직접투자에서 가장 주목할 만한 것 중의 하나는 신흥산업국의 출현이었다. 이들의 출현은 과거 선진국 중심의 선진국과 개도국의 남-북 관계에서 신흥산업국 중심의 선진국-신흥산업국-개도국으로 구성된 새로운 공간적 흐름관계를 형성시키고 있다. 특히, 1980년대 중반 이후 아시아 신흥산업국들이 동아시아 역내 직접투자를 활발히 전개함으로써 동아시아 역내 직접투자의 흐름 구조는 일본-신흥산업국-아세안과 중국으로 구분되는 명백한 계층적 구조를 지니게 되었다. 역내 직접투자 유입에서, 일본과 신흥산업국은 역외 선진산업국과 일본으로부터, 아세안은 아시아 신흥산업국과 일본으로부터, 중국은 아시아 신흥산업국으로부터 투자가 유입되고 있다. 역내 직접투자 유출에서, 일본은 신흥산업국과 아세안에 대해 상대적으로 높은 역내 투자를 보이는 반면 신흥산업국은 아세안과 중국에 대한 높은 투자를 보이고 있다. 또한 아세안 및 중국의 역내투자는 아직까지 미흡하지만 신흥산업국에 집중되고 있다. 즉, 동아시아 역내 직접투자 구조에서 신흥산업국의 중간적 역할과 성격이 점차 확대되고 있다.

  • This paper is based on the 9 goat colonies along the middle and lower Yellow River valley and 7 local goat colonies in the Northeast, Tibet and the Yangtze valley. After collecting the same data about the 22 goat colonies in China and other countries, it establishes and composes the matrix of fuzzy similarity relation describing the genetic similarities of different colonies. It also clusters 38 colonies according to their phylogenetic relationship. The establishment of the matrix and the cluster are effected in terms of the frequency of 18 loci and 43 allelomorphs in blood enzyme and other protein variations. The study proves that the middle Yellow River valley is one of the taming and disseminating centers of domestic goats in the South and East of Central Asia. Compared with other goat populations in this vast area, the native goat populations in the west of Mongolian Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the middle Yellow River valley share the same origin. The colonies in the lower Yellow River valley and those in the middle valley, however, are relatively remote in their phylogenetic relationship. The native goat colonies in the southeast of Central Asia can be classified into two genetic groups: "East Asia" and "South Asia" and the colonies in Southeast Asia belong to either group.
