As the concern with the creation of environmental problems and regulations about them becomes internationally growing, environmental cooperations with countries concerned are emerging as the first item on the political agenda. In case of South Korea, cooperations with countries in the Asian region is needed urgently. In particular, cooperations with North Korea will be an important factor to reunify the Korean peninsula as well as to solve environmental problems in South Korea. Accordingly, it is necessary to seek feasible alternatives and possibilities of coping with international environment in South and North Korea. This study is limited to literature study based on collecting materials and the testimony of former residents in North Korea. The period of study ranges from May to December in 1992. The research findings show the following environmental problems and alternatives : It is recognized in South Korea that the creation of environmental problems is product of economic development. Currently, the Korean government makes an effort to revise environmental administration and law, to encourage environmental education, and to proceed with environmental technology policies by establishing environmental policies together with economic development plans. North Korea ascribes the cause of environmental problems to colonial exploitation by Japan and the U.S. Environmental pollutants in North Korea is relatively less than South Korea, provisions such as environmental conservation movement, environmental education, and environmental administration and law are not well organized in the country. However, North korea will speed up its economic development to solve economic crises. Therefore, it is expected that industrial wastes, corrosion of nature, and water pollution will result in serious environmental problems. The fields expected to cooperate with South and North Korea are in the following : South Korea may adopt the model of the former East and West Germany and proceed to cooperate with North Korea in public sector as well as private sector. The possible programs are such as academic exchange to conserve environment, joint research in the area of the Demilitarized Zone, conservation of ecosystems around Imjin and Pukhan Rivers, South Korea's support of advanced environmental technology and industrial and financial aid to North Korea. Conflicts between countries concerned in the North East Asian region will be caused by the responsibilities of pollutions because of the seashore development of the Yellow Sea by South Korea and increasing seashore industrial complexes around the Yellow Sea in China, Therefore, it is desirable that the two countries will participate in organizations related to environment. Joint projects between South and North Korea will be as follows : 1. Construction of long-range monitoring system : 2. Investigation of the state of pollutions around the Yellow Sea and alternatives : 3. Construction of joint monitoring system to regulate the movement of pollutants : 4. Cooperation of environmental technology and exchange of information ; and 5. Support of Cooperation of environment in private sector. Efforts to cooperate with North korea is expected to overcome differences between the two countries as well as to encourage unification of the korean peninsula, which will lead to reducing the cost of environmental recovery. These efforts will also contribute to the maintenance for peace and stability on the korean peninsula as well as in the North East Asian region.

북한이 2013년 5월 29일 경제개발구법을 제정하고, 같은 해 11월 21일 13개 지방급 경제개발구를 대외에 개방하였다. 이어 2014년 7월 23일 6개의 경제개발구를 추가로 개방하였는데, 이것은 북한이 1950년대 말부터 추진한 경제개발계획의 근간인 자급자족적이고 폐쇄적인 계획경제 운용노선으로부터의 커다란 전환이다. 북한은 사회주의 시장경제를 지향하는 중국과 달리 완전한 사회주의 건설을 목표로 하고 있으며, 계획경제의 안정적 관리를 위하여 자본주의 시장경제 요소를 일부 도입하여 시험하고 있다. 북한의 경제개발구를 통한 경제 활성화 추진전략은 북한 자체는 물론 인접한 한국과 중국의 정치 및 경제에 미치는 영향이 지대하다. 정부의 대북정책은 남북 간 경제적 상생관계 형성을 통해 정치적 통합을 목표로 하고 있다. 정부의 통일정책 비전은 한반도의 경제통합을 넘어 한반도를 대륙과 연결하는 유라시아 이니셔티브 실현을 통해 동북아시대에 주도권을 확보하는 것이다. 유라시아 이니셔티브 실현을 위해서는 남한과 아시아 대륙, 유럽을 잇는 연결고리인 북한의 협력이 필수적이다. 북한은 2013년 3월 31일 경제 건설과 핵무력 건설 병진노선을 채택하고 경제개발구 개발을 통한 경제 활성화 전략을 최우선 과제로 추진하고 있다. 본 논문은 남북 간 개발협력을 통한 북한지역 경제개발사업 추진을 목표로 남한 투자자의 시각에서 북한이 2013년에 개방한 13개 지방급 경제개발구를 대상으로 입지적, 경제적, 법률적 측면의 투자 잠재력을 평가하고 경제개발구에 대한 개발방향을 제시한다. 투자 잠재력 평가 결과 송림, 현동, 흥남, 청진, 와우도 경제개발구의 투자 잠재력이 높게 나왔다.

한민족으로서 남북한이 통일을 해야 한다는 당위성에도 불구하고 남북한은 지구상에서 가장 갈등이 심하고 군사적 충돌의 위험이 높은 관계로 남아 있다. 물론 그동안 우리정부는 이러한 갈등과 긴장관계를 해소하기 위해 다양한 방면에서 북한과의 교류를 추진해 왔지만, 최근 남북관계가 다시 경색국면에 들어서면서 이러한 노력들은 그 의미가 퇴색해 가고 있다. 이는 정치관계의 일시적 회복이 제도 개선과 경제협력으로 나아가지 못한데 기인한다고 할 수 있다. 남북한 유통·물류 교류협력에 관한 본 연구는 남북통일을 위한 교류협력에서의 "막힘없는 유통·물류"를 실현하여 유통·물류교류협력을 통한 하나의 경제권을 형성해가는 기초가 될 것이라는 기대에 의한 것이다. 다시 말해서 남북한의 경제교류와 협력이 확대되기 위해서는 경제활동의 핏줄에 해당하는 유통·물류분야의 발전이 있어야 가능하기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구는 정치적 선언에 의해 조성된 협력관계와 화해분위기를 국민적 합의 속에 제도화하고, 정치분야외 특히 경제 분야에서 교류를 확대해야 한다고 본다.

The purpose of this paper is to make research on the settlement mechanism of the commercial disputes between the South and the North of Korea. Also, this paper is to make research on the south-north Korea's cooperative tasks to promote the disputes settlement, including the operation and management of the South-North Arbitration Commission as well as the enactment of the South-North Arbitration Rules. To realize the spirit of the South-North Joint Declaration of June 15, 2000, the Authorities concerned of the South and the North of Korea have reached an agreement titled 'Agreement on Settlement Procedure of Commercial Disputes' on December of the same year. As the follow-up measures of the said Agreement, the South-North Authorities have signed an another agreement called 'Agreement on Organization and Administration of the South-North Arbitration Commission' on October, 2003, which is becoming vital importance for settlement of the commercial disputes between south and north Korea including the Gaeseong Industrial Complex. Gaeseong, a city surrounded by the North Korean military and a symbol of inter-Korean tensions, is now turning into a peace zone where thousands of North and South Koreans are working side by side. The Gaeseong Industrial Complex project, driven by the logic and economic necessity of cooperation, has been steadily moving forward since the North designated it as a special economic zone and has enacted related laws and regulations for its development. Under the situation, the matter of primary concern is how to organize and conduct the Arbitration Commission for the prompt and effective settlement of the south-north commercial disputes. First of all, the South-North Authorities should recognize that the availability of prompt, effective and economical means of dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation to be made by the Arbitration Commission would promote the orderly growth and encouragement of the south-north trade and investment. In this connection, the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board(KCAB) should be designated as the arbitral institution of the south Korean side under the Agreement on Organization and Administration of the South-North Arbitration Commission. The KCAB is the only authorized arbitral organization in South Korea to settle all kinds of commercial disputes at home and abroad.
