The purpose of this study is to examine the appropriateness of Regulatory Impact Analysis(RIA) in terms of the technological regulation impact assessment in order to confirm whether the current RIA process reflects the important characteristics of technological regulation. This paper develops a logical framework for analysis of technological regulation and evaluates the appropriateness of the RIA statements submitted by the government departments. From the viewpoint of [technological feasibility of regulation], [synthesis of domestic technological norms], [synthesis of international technological norms], as a result of evaluating the contents of the actual RIA statement on the basis of objective facts, feasibility of alternative analysis, and expert judgment, only 23.4% of the RIA statements were judged "appropriate", and there were no particular differences among the government. As a result of reviewing the appropriateness of RIA statements according to regulatory attributes, the appropriateness of RIA statements on technological regulation with social regulatory and indirect regulatory attributes was rather high. In sum, the level of Korean RIA statements is insufficient to carry out the practical meaning of technological regulation impact assessment. That is, as each government department adopts technological regulation, the understanding of the technological properties of the regulation may not be complete. The RIA statement that does not adequately reflect the technological rationale, hinders the careful review of other regulatory alternatives by exaggerating the feasibility of the technology regulation, at the same time leads to the serious problems that impede the acquisition of competitiveness of companies and the public in the global competition system.

This study intends to propose a policy plan for the activation of the Busan Blockchain Regulation-Free Zone, which is selected by the government's comprehensive negative regulation policy. Unlike Europe and the United States, Korea is based on a positive regulation and aims at suppression, not activation. The Korean government proposed a transition to "comprehensive negative regulation" as a groundbreaking regulatory innovation policy to solve the problems of positive regulation. For this implementation plan, seven regulation-free zones were selected. Busan was selected as the Blockchain Regulation-Free Zone, and secured an opportunity to revitalize the stagnant regional economy based on the blockchain. This study is a policy study for the activation of the Busan Blockchain Regulation-Free Zone, and aimed to propose a method to create an industrial ecosystem with the discovery of a Busan-specific Blockchain service that can be commercialized in the Regulation-Free Zone.

In this paper the consumer protection regulations of 16 wide area self-governments in Korea are studied. Status of consumer protection policy committees and their general policies for consumer protection of these wide area self-governments are also investigated. The data of consumer protection regulation were collected from the internet web-site of each self-government and the status of consumer protection policy committee and the general policy for consumer protection were obtained by requesting each self-government to report administration information during May through October in 200l. 13 of 16 wide area self-governments except Daegu, Inchon, and Jejudo have own consumer protection regulations. Major parts of these regulations conform the standard regulation of ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs. Many of the consumer protection policy committees reported that they do not have meetings constantly. Moreover since the price of goods and services is the typical subject of meetings, the committees do not seem to properly play the role of a consumer protection policy authority. Contents of the general policy for consumer protection of many self-governments are simple description of detailed practicing plans according to the general consumer protection policy of the national government. By criticizing the problems aroused during the study of consumer protection policy of self-governments, suggestions are given which will help for the development of consumer policy of wide area self-governments.

In the area of the telecommunication industry, a few products have been developed before related technical regulation has been made. Government agency is forced to make a final decision on whether a requested product is sellable in the market only after the structure and function of requested product is tested. The introduction of a 'SDoC', and 'privatization of technical regulation' to our legal system could be a solution for minimizing the situation mentioned above. Both 'SDoC' and 'privatization of technical regulation' are systems which are capable of minimizing the appearance of products without technical regulations. Furthermore, 'Temporary approval system' would provide a government agency with administrative procedure for new product without technical regulation.

Park, Keun-Hye government has just established a new ministry for integrating and managing the policies for science & technology and ICT. From the ICT governance perspective, the new ministry implies separating promotion policies from regulation polices. The current paper aims to present ICT policy implications by providing a perspective on regulation and promotion. A delphi survey was conducted for 32 experts in ICT sector. According to the experts, a clear distinction between regulation and promotion policies is difficult, and thus, integrating regulation and promotion policies looks more preferable. In general, an independent ministry that integrates regulation and promotion policies is mostly preferred. Some suggested an independent committee inside the ministry might be desirable, especially for the broadcasting regulation policy to be independent from the ministry control. The current study proposes tight collaboration between the newly established ICT ministry and the Korea Communications Commission, and in the long term, integrated administration of promotion and regulation policies. In particular, this study emphasizes the importance of the integrated policy management to enhance government policy capacity.

On rationale for government intervention is the failure of competition in the market. Health care markets are characterized by such unique aspects as information asymmetry, prevalence of insurance, and cost-increasing competition based on the adoption of costly medical technology. Therefore, government policy to guarantee a sufficient number of providers in markets may not lead to socially beneficisal outcomes such as higher quantity and lower price. This paper examines the unique nature of health services and its implications for competition, the evidence that competition may not reduce health care ex[enditures, and policy tools that government can use to encourage competition which contributes to supporting a sustainable health care system.

This article examines how the Chinese government blocks the inflow of undesirable information, focusing on the technical aspect of the control mechanism. Unlike Cuba and North Korea, which regulate the whole Internet, China uses both state-of-the-art technological supervision and labor-intensive physical control due to economic reasons in order to prepare for actors who can threaten the Communist party. The Chinese government will not overlook the inflow of information which can be the link between demonstrations and democratization. This is because stronger protests utilizing information technology will trigger the Chinese government's flexible control based on large scale violation and technology. In this article, we first review the concept of universal internet control involved in internet regulation in nations, and then focus on China's internet censorship and its regulatory control from the '90s to the present. Finally, we analyze how the Chinese government actively controls the internet access by utilizing the relationship dynamics between the central and local governments, depending on protest issue. This thesis will assume that it is difficult for China to become democratized due to its information interception, and search how the government manages the internet.

There are a lot of game regulations in Korea. Each scholar has invested a game regulation. But there is no research about all the game regulations. All regulations in government should be registered in Regulatory Reform Committee. So, this study researched the all game regulation in Regulatory Reform Committee and found the present state and character of game regulation in Korea. The registered game regulations are only 22. But actually, there are 44 regulations in game field. And according to legal context, there are over 60 regulations in game field. And a lot of game regulations focus on the game addiction and gambling. The differences of regulation would influence the policy trust and government trust. This result would contribute to reform the regulation of game in Korea.

Purpose - Recently, the Korean government is seeking to internationalize KRW and reduce its heavy reliance on the U.S. dollar and better cope with risks from external turbulence. However, there has been too little study on this subject in comparision with its importance. The main objective of the paper is to distinguish the descrete stages of the KRW internationalization and recognize the costs and benefits of each stage. Research design, data, methodology - In order to achieve its goal, this study accomplishes a formal policy analysis based on potential factors of currency internationalization and an examination of legal practices in relation to Foreign Exchange Transaction Regulation (the Regulation). Results - This study found that securing monetary policy may not be easy under liberalized capital account for a small open economy like Korea in view of the trillema. In addition, the inherent ambiguity of the Regulation may increase the costs of KRW internationalization. Conclusions-This study revealed the negative system for the control of foreign exchange of the Korean government. The excessive regulatory restrictions on foreign exchange may hinder the process of KRW internationalization. Some legal and policy reforms are needed to improve related regulation and infrastructure.

The main purpose of the article is to study the features of the impact of social and digital changes on the system of government regulation of banking acitivity. The digital economy sets the vector along which socio-economic systems of micro-, meso-, macro-levels will develop in the long term, which necessitates research and a comprehensive analysis of digital transformation processes. Once a priority for individual innovative companies, today digital transformation has become a mass phenomenon, and the corresponding projects are vital for the success of not only individual companies, but also regions and countries. At the same time, this transformation itself is closely connected with the trend of servicing socio-economic systems and is largely implemented on its basis. Moreover, this relationship and the mechanism for its implementation remain insufficiently studied, which necessitates the development of tools for its identification, assessment and management. As a result of the analysis, the key aspects of the impact of social and digital changes on the system of state regulation of banking activities were identified.
