The 21st century is witnessing the explosive increase in the usage of internet and international electronic transactions. Due to the unique characteristics of the electronic information, substantial part of such transaction can and do take the form of cross-border transactions. However, there have not been settled appropriate set of rules applicable to the international electronic transactions. Currently, in respect to e-L/C transactions in international trade, there are laws such as Electronic Transaction Basic Act in our country, E-Trade Promotion Act, E-Signature Law, Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection and Marine Charter 5 in the Commercial Law. Nevertheless, a complete legislation, that is a uniform rule for e L/C which could support e L/C transactions fully hasn't been established yet. Accordingly, those laws concerned need to improve to regulate e-L/C transactions. The purpose of this paper is to look into the national status for law readjustment to prepare for a new electronic environment and to use appropriately the e-L/C issued by electronic means, and to conduct a comparative analysis on the related regulations to introduce a pertinent laws and propose related regulations to contribute to the making of effective laws to regulate e-L/C.

Korea's FTA e-commerce regulations are evolving into a standardized norm. However, "location of computing facilities", which was not covered by Korea's existing FTA, was newly established in Korea's first Mega FTA, RCEP. China, a member of RCEP, restricts data movement and requires data localization through its Cybersecurity law. These facts have led to start this study with interest in data-related regulations. It examined country-specific and regulatory characteristics in the process of forming digital trade norms, using the TAPED established by Burri et al. (2020). It also analyzed the current status of introducing norms related to 'data flow', 'data localization' and 'data protection' of the EU, USA and China, which are leading the formation of e-commerce trade norms. Finally, the legal review was conducted to compare the exact meaning of the wording expressed in each agreement for the six recently enacted Mega FTAs and Digital Economic Agreements. These findings are meaningful in that they provided implications for the effectiveness of RCEP and the direction of negotiations on Korea's digital trade norms.

본 연구는 중국과의 전자상거래 교역에 해상으로 운송되는 화물의 흐름을 분석하고 지역별/품목별로 화물의 특성을 파악하여, 중국으로의 전자상거래 수출 증진 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기종점 분석 및 시각화 기법을 활용하여 2015년부터 2018년 1분기까지 해상운송을 이용한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출입자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 현재 중국과 해상특송 서비스를 제공하고 있는 인천항에서 가장 많은 대(對)중국 전자상거래 화물이 수입되고 있었으며, 평택항의 경우, 중국으로부터 수입된 전자상거래 화물이 다시 인천세관으로 운송되어 통관 절차를 거치는 비효율이 발생하고 있음도 파악할 수 있었다. 또한, 최종 배송지가 전국적으로 분포되어 있는 전자상거래 수입의 경우와는 달리, 해상을 통해 중국으로 수출되는 전자상거래 제품들은 배송대행업체 및 포워더 업체들이 밀집된 서울과 경기지역에만 국한되어 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전자상거래 수입과는 달리, 해상을 통해 수출되는 전자상거래 품목은 주로 의류와 화장품류에 국한되어 있었으며, 수출 규모 역시 수입에 비해 적게 나타나고 있다. 해상을 통한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출 활성화 방안으로는 전자상거래 환적을 통해 중국으로의 수출 제품 다변화로 수출 화물량을 증가시키는 방안과 더불어, 중국과의 전자상거래 운송에 콜드체인(cold chain)을 구축하여 수출품의 다변화를 도모하는 방안이 도출되었다.

Online-ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) has been receiving attention from the international community as a means of alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes in both small and mass international e-commerce. The EU Parliament and the Council proposed the Online Dispute Resolution Regulation for Consumer Disputes (hereafter, "EU Consumer ODR Regulation") and the Directive on Alternative Dispute Resolution of Consumer Disputes (hereafter, "EU Consumer ADR Directive") as a legislative package, now scheduled to be adopted. Those efforts strengthen consumer protection by enhancing ODR in international e-commerce and improving of the functions of the e-commerce market. The EU Consumer ADR and ODR regulation package will operate in conjunction with the ODR platform as a single point across Europe, abandoning the ADR system of each member. Consumers and traders who need dispute resolution apply on the EU ODR platform linked website, and the applications are distributed to individual ADR institutions in accordance with the Rules and Procedure of ADR institutions in the respective country. Although there has been partial progress in Korea for ODR programs such as the establishment of the Online Administrative Trial and the procedures of individual ADR agencies operating through the website, existing norms do not fully support the system. At this point, we see many implications of the EU Consumer ADR and ODR regulation package on the direction chosen for domestic ADR and ODR policy and legislation. This study introduces the main features and content of the EU Consumer ADR Directive (draft) and ODR Regulation provisions, and describes the direction of domestic policy and legislation regarding Online-ADR.

Recently, traditional trade in the global trade market has stagnated in the aftermath of the US-China trade war and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, the global e-commerce market is growing rapidly, presenting a new opportunity for exports. To examine the effect of an online matching and logistics system on reverse overseas direct purchase and the mediating effect of reliability, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on 320 employees in a Korean trade company from March 10 to April 30, 2018. The study model's goodness of fit was tested, and an analysis was performed using the AMOS statistical package. The online matching and logistics system were found to have a positive effect on reverse overseas direct purchase. Furthermore, results revealed that while a country's reliability mediated online matching and reverse overseas direct purchase, it did not mediate the logistics system. These results mean that online matching is affected by a country's reliability in overseas consumers' buying decision process. This study provides implications for the future directions of export companies and national policies to promote reverse overseas direct purchase. Future research including more countries and companies would be able to make further contributions toward the development of the Korean cross-border e-commerce industry.

Paperless trade is a new trade paradigm that has innovated on traditional trade procedures, which relied on manual work in the past, and applied an IT-based e-document standard. To realize paperless trade in Korea, a lot of efforts have been made. Korea has overcome many difficulties, a lack of awareness, trials and errors, etc. at the initial introduction stage and strived to establish a stable infrastructure through the government's policy support and active cooperation with the trade business communities and related organizations. Now, Korea became a well-known leader in IT industry, especially in the paperless trade infrastructure and strategic policies. The one-stop trading system named 'uTradeHub' is operated by a paperless trade service provider, Korea Trade Network(KTNET). uTradeHub includes trade finance and settlement, customs clearance and export and import logistics, improving trading procedures and reducing related expenses. Private-Public joint efforts from Korean government and private sectors which have respectively fulfilled their role and function with market-oriented practical policies and strategies has lead Korea a world leading country in paperless trade. Moreover, Korea expended its efforts to the global areas. Korea has started to activate multi-national paperless trade alliances such as PAA(Pan-Asia e-Commerce Alliance), ASEAL(Asia Europe Alliance for Paperless Trading) as well as established the bilateral cooperative networks with China and Taiwan. The one-stop trading system, uTradeHub should keep close cooperations between nations since trade itself is implemented in a cross-border ways. In the near future, it is expected uTradeHub can achieve best results in the simplification of procedures and cost savings when an international linkage is completely established with international cooperations.

Today's Internet environment is growing rapidly, and transactions based on it are also rapidly increasing. E-commerce allows merchants and consumers in different countries to easily trade goods across borders. However, the increase in international consumer transactions through the Internet is accompanied by an increase in disputes. International consumer transactions are characterized by a distinction among long distance, small sum, and different jurisdictions. International consumer transactions cannot be solved only by way of resolving disputes in past international transactions. The best way to resolve disputes between international carriers and consumers is through the Internet. In this regard, UNCITRAL has been preparing to enact legislation on ODR as a solution to international electronic trade disputes and, as a result, UNCITRAL adopted guidelines for operating the ODR procedure for building the ODR platform. The European Union has also increased its disputes in the European Union, which is active in the intra-regional market. Institutional improvements were made to solve this problem; therefore, the European Union (EU) has enacted the ODR Regulations for EU consumer disputes. Based on such, this study constructed the ODR platform, which is used as a way to resolve consumer disputes in the regional market.

최근 글로벌 전자상거래 시장규모는 빠른 속도로 성장하고 있다. 글로벌 전자상거래의 한 형태로서 해외직구는 글로벌 시장규모가 2020년에 1조 달러에 육박할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 B2B 해외직구 및 역직구의 결정요인을 도출함으로써 이를 통해 이러한 요인들이 중소기업의 해외직구 역직구의 활성화에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 궁극적으로 중소기업의 수출확대에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고자 하는 것이 연구의 주요한 목적이다. 이를 위해 해외직구의 개념을 정립한 후, 자원기반이론과 산업구조이론을 근거해서 선행연구를 통해 해외직구 역직구 시장에서 우리나라 중소기업이 성과를 내기 위해 필요한 요인들을 도출하였다. 이후, 개념적 연구모형과 연구가설을 설정하고, 설문자료를 다중회귀모델로 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기업정보, 물류배송, 통관절차, 법 제도는 해외직구 역직구에 대해서 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 선행연구가 해외직구의 피해사례와 대응 중심이었던데 반해, 해외직구 시장전체를 조망하였고, 우리나라 중소기업의 입장에서 해외직구 역직구 시장에서 성과를 내기 위한 영향요인을 도출하였다는 점에서 기존연구와 차별성을 갖는다. 또한 본 연구 결과로 해외직구 시장에 참여하는 중소기업과 정책을 입안하는 정부에 대해 전략적인 방향성을 제시하고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
