This case study is to identify the role and strategies of think tanks in Britain which have shown institutional initiative in global welfare paradigm such as the establishment of welfare state, Thatcherism, and the Third Way. Fabian Society, Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), and Policy Exchange (PX) were selected for the research, and seven staff members from these think tanks were interviewed while their relevant publications were gathered and analyzed. As a result, the role of each think tank in welfare paradigm change were presented as well as strategic similarities were found: distinguished idea on the relationship between economy and welfare, adherence to independence based on their values, and strategic communication with diverse routs. However, there was also strategic difference between the first round and the second in the history. In the first round between Fabian Society and IEA, building a space for discussion based on new paradigm was the key, while in the second round between IPPR and PX, producing a set of alternative policies was the main task for them. This British example may provide useful implication to Korea, in which political debate on social welfare still just focus on individual pledges competition and the role of think tank is highly limited.

Most of all the transfer of undertakings in such a service provision business as labour-intensive operation creates uncertainty of employment, aggravates terms of employment and breaks a trade union. However there are no regulations in Korea to protect employees from these undesirable situations. On the other hand Great Britain has introduced the concept of a transfer of undertakings by service provision change in 2006. It was intended to remove or at least alleviate the uncertainties and difficulties created by the need under TUPE 1981 and EU Directive to establish a transfer of a stable economic identity which retained its identity in the hands of the alleged transferee. In contrast to the words used to define transfer in the 1981 Regulations 'service provision change' is a wholly new statutory concept and distinguished from the economic entity. The new provisions seems to be straightforwards and the circumstances in which service provision change is established are clearly set out in Regulations. In this context there is no need for a judicially prescribed multi-factorial approach, as advanced by European Court of Justice like Spijkers test. The new concept of service provision change apply even though there are some minor difference or differences between the nature of the tasks carried on after service provision change as compared with before it. A commonsense and pragmatic approach is required and It is enough only to ask whether the activities carried on by the alleged transferee are fundamentally or essentially the same as those carried out by the alleged transfer. TUPE 2006 of Great Britain far exceeding the scope of the Acquired Rights Directive is full of suggestions as a model of legislation to secure a stable employment itself and favorable and fair conditions of employment. More active efforts are needed for lawmaking to prohibit a dismissal and vary conditions of employment for the reason of the transfer of undertakings itself.

영국은 1989년 Electricity Act의 발효를 시작으로 전력산업 구조개편을 시작하였다. 이후 Pool 체계를 구성하였으며 10여년의 운영을 거쳐 NETA 체계를 새롭게 구성하였다. 이후 스코틀랜드 전력시장을 통합한 BETTA 체계를 도입하여 영국 전체의 전력시장을 통합하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영국의 전력시장 구조개편 과정을 분석하고 각 체계의 특성을 정리하였으며 이러한 구조개편 과정에서 얻을 수 있는 시사점을 도출하였다.

19세기 영국과 미국의 도시공원 녹지의 발생은 자연주의 사조와 산 업혁명과 같은 그 시대적 배경과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 한편 한국의 급변하 는 사회정세와 맞물려 변화하는 한국의 도시공원 녹지의 역할도 현 상태에 서 재검토 되어야 할 시점에 있다고 생각된다. 이에 본 리뷰(Review)는 영 국과 미국의 도시공원 녹지 발달과 관련된 문헌을 중심으로 각 시대별 도 시공원 녹지의 역할에 크게 영향을 미친 사회 역사적 요인을 분석하여 추 후 한국의 도시공원 녹지 역할의 변화에 영향을 미칠 요인 분석을 예견케 하는 하나의 본보기를 제시하고자 한다.

In case of Korea, while discrete mathematics is included in the traditional school curriculum the 7th Educational Reform adds a new topic of Graph Theory making it an optional subject of highschool mathematics. However, a systematic research on the curriculum of discrete mathematics is still unsatisfactory. This study is focused on comparing the curriculum of discrete mathematics in Korea with that of other countries including the United States, Britain, Japan, and Canada. Consequently, it looks into problems concerning the school curriculum of discrete mathematics in Korea to devise a proper measure to improve.

In both elections of 1997 and 2001, Tony Blair of the Labour Party won #10 of Downing Street. This political success had to do with regionalism and was particular due to the devolution policy that was supported by non English citizens. However, there are negative voices about this policy which tries to cope with regional conflicts by decentralizing the central political power. The paper aims to examine the current regionalism movements and the devolution policy in Britain. For this purpose, the nation-building processes of the United Kingdom and various reactions to these processes, especially regional ethnic conflicts are discussed. And the study finally investigates the future perspectives of the devolution policy and its implications for both regionalism and the national-regional developments in Britain.

It is urgent to systematically understand vocational training and qualification systems in advanced nations in order to evaluate and reform the Korean counterparts. In the British case, the system has been transformed from the market-led one to the state-led one while the German system is still classified as a corporatistic one. This structural difference is crucial to understand their performances and the German one won a relatively more positive evaluation in its performance. However, the structure and function of the German system has lately revealed numerous limitations in face of the political unification and long duration of economic recessions. This study shows that those differences in structural and functional features and recent developments of the systems in two nations are closely associated with their differences in educational philosophies and occupational cultures, roles of the state and employers, and operation mechanisms of training courses and vocational qualifications systems. Understanding those national differences raises a fundamental question on the hasty prescription of some domestic studies that a few policies in the foreign systems must be implanted to reform the Korean counterpart without understanding the fundamental difference between the domestic and those foreign systems.

The present study set out to explore the acculturative stress and mental health(depression) of Korean women living in Britain according to socio-demographic factors, social relations and social supports level. 152 Korean women's data were collected and analyzed with frequency, correlation, ANOVA. Analysis revealed that women's acculturative stress and depression level was 2.50(moderate) and 1.66(slightly low) respectively. Acculturative stress level showed correlation with depression level. Among demographic variables, acculturative stress was significantly different from residence period in Britain, marriage and economic state and the level of depression was also different from job and economic state. The group which has frequent relationships with British and high level of social supports showed low acculturative stress. The group has high level of social supports also showed low depression. These findings highlight the importance of concerns and interventions about acculturation and mental health of Korean immigrant women and community services for the new immigrant women to improve their acculturation and mental health.
