  • It is not so long that the cultural industrial sector has been noted as one of the major engines of regional economy in Korea. In parallel with balanced development strategies recently emphasized in the Korean regional policy, there has been a wide range of investment to formulate cultural industrial districts in major cities. This trend of investment focus has changed the development strategies of each city. There are criticisms, however, to this public sector-dominated nurturing of cultural economy.

Some suggestions are provided in order to make the policy successful; emphasize developing the culture industry itself, develop clusters specifically focused on the characteristics of the culture industry, deliberate substantial measures for nurturing companies and human resources in the local regions, and formulate a system in which the local dominates and the center supports.

  • The purpose of this essay explores a critical review of the Korean critical communication studies focused on the problematic of cultural studies and political economy in 2000s. The findings are as follows; The 'consumer turn' or 'audience turn' in new revisionism modelling John Fiske's cultural studies has been interpreted not to complement but to substitute the necessary criticism of the post-authoritarian media establishment of Korea at that time, arising identity crisis of Korean cultural studies as one of the critical camp. On other side, however, some political economy studies close to the unilinear theses of orthodox marxism has been appraised to neglect the complex process and structure of media and cultural production as well. While the press war between the market-dominant dailies and some progressive dailies has given rise to a whole debate as expected in consolidating period of Korean emerging democracy, the conjucturalism as modelled by Hall's 'authoritarian populism' failed to initiate a new theo tical practice in Korea. Finally, this review essay propose the some new research issues that would converge cultural studies and political economy, modernism and postmodernism; citizenship vs 'cultural citizenship'(valuing the private identity and gender) or Habermasian public sphere vs 'cultural public sphere', the culture of production, (modern)citizen/(postmodern)consumer(recently debated in English media policy), 'differentiation' in capitalist production and 'difference' in consumer sovereignty, 21c future vision of public service broadcasting as one of the 20c institutions.
