This research deals with the PLAN's capabilities and its implication for regional security, and suggests some measures for maritime security cooperation among regional states. China has began to focus its national strategy more on 'rising as a new maritime power' since the 18th Party Convention in November 2012. Chinese new strategy aims at building a strong navy, contributing economic prosperity and national security, and thus elevating its prestige in international society. Most of all, building a strong navy is the foremost task at this time, and that is why the PLAN has the priority for military modernization. Chinese new maritime strategy could cause naval arms race in East Asia and aggravate maritime territorial disputes among concerned parties. It is the time for regional states to discuss some measures to build confidence, such as arms control of naval weapons, establishment of multilateral maritime security mechanism, and foundation of regional security regime, thus enhancing regional maritime cooperation.

This paper is designed to make a national strategic concept for the ROK's maritime security and to explore cooperation directions for the ROK Navy and Coast Guard in order to implement the newly-made maritime security strategic concept. As strategy is composed of three main categories(goals, ways, means), the goal of the ROK's maritime security strategy is 'Safe and Affluent Sea' and the way to realize the goal is the principle of cooperative leverage, and the means as tasks to implement the strategic concept are maritime safety, maritime security, and maritime stewardship. The concept of national fleet as used in the US is applied to promoting the cooperation between the ROK Navy and Coast Guard. Thus, under the newly-established maritime security strategic concept along with the national fleet model, followings are suggested as policy proposals for facilitating mutual cooperation between the ROK Navy and Coast Guard in dealing with not only traditional threats but also non-traditional treats at sea and from the sea as well. First, the ROK Navy and Coast Guard has been making efforts to enhance interoperability between the two sea services. However, the mutual cooperations have been focused mainly on areas on operational level rather than policy level. Therefore, the two sea services are recommended to enlarge exchanges and cooperation in policy areas. Second, there are still demands for further cooperation areas between the two sea services in command and communications. The interoperability in C2 between the two needs to be upgraded even to the areas of anti-terrorist activities ar sea, ASUW, ASW, maritime interdiction, etc. Third, mutual comparability between the two needs to be reflected in the maritime forces development to ensure the comparability in UNREP and other logistics areas. Fourth, the standardization of logistical materials and equipments is needed as a way of sustaining operational capability and logistical capacity for the ROK Navy and Coast Guard as well. Fifth, the ROK Navy and Coast Guard are recommended to participate more actively in international maritime cooperation activities such as PASSEX. Sixth, Complementary laws and regulations need further to be revised and to be newly made for collectively managing swiftly maritime accidents and natural disasters at sea.

본 논문은 '국가해양안보전략서'의 필요성과 발전방향을 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 한국의 해양안보전략서의 필요성, 해양안보전략관련 한국의 실태와 주요선진해양국의 사례, 한국의 '해양안보전략'의 비전·목표·전략·수행체계를 살펴본 후 결론을 도출해본 것이다. '세계 5대 해양강국(Ocean G5)' 등과 같은 국가해양전략 비전의 달성은 우리나라가 국민의 해양안전과 해양안보를 유지·강화해 나갈 수 있을 때 가능함은 물론이다. 세월호사건은 우리에게도 해양선진국처럼 '국가해양안보전략서'가 절실히 필요하다는 것을 잘 일깨워주고 있다. 선진해양국가처럼 국가해양안보전략이 효율적으로 수행되기 위해서는 해군·해경의 협력을 포함한 관련기관의 협력을 결집시키기에 충분한 권한과 위상을 보유한 전담부서를 두어야 한다. 국가안보회의 예하에 장관급으로 구성된 의결기구인 가칭 해양안보위원회와 관련부처 실무자로 구성된 집행기구인 가칭 해양안보수행단을 설치하면 좋을 것으로 판단된다. 미국이나 영국처럼 우리도 국민의 해양안전·해양안보를 위한 국가해양안보전략을 성공적으로 수행해 나가기 위해서는 보다 더 긴밀한 국내의 범정부적 협조체제와 국제적 협력체제, 그리고 해당 분야별 해양안보능력을 더욱 보강해 나가야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 해군에 의한 해양안보전략의 수립·추진; 해군·해경 간의 작전적 연계강화; 국가차원의 해양감시능력의 강화 및 민간영역과의 공유의 활성화 등을 모색·추진해 나가야 할 것이다.

오늘날 세계경제를 견인하는 국제무역의 약 98%는 해양을 통해 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 사실은 해양의 안보가 세계경제뿐만 아니라 세계의 안보에도 핵심적 요소가 되고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 이제는 국제사회가 국제해양안보협력의 문제를 근본에서부터 평가하고 보다 발전시킬 때가 되었다. 그러나 해양안보협력의 문제는 각 국가들이 상이한 해양안보문제에 직면하고 있고 이러한 안보문제를 해결하기 위한 안보협력을 위해서는 많은 인력과 예산이 투입되어야 하기 때문에 그렇게 쉬운 일이 아니다. 따라서 본 논문은 소말리아와 말라카 해협 등 국제적 핵심해상교통로 상에서의 해적대응을 위한 해양안보협력현황을 평가하고 이 평가에 기초하여 보다 발전적인 해양안보협력방안을 제시하기 위한 목적으로 작성하였다.

오늘날 해양은 세계경제를 견인하는 무역의 통로일 뿐만 아니라, 국가를 부강하게 하는 각종 자원의 보고이기도 하다. 최신과학기술의 발전으로 인류의 활동역시 육지에서 해양으로 점점 확대되고 있다. 근래 동아시아 국가들 역시 이러한 해양의 가치를 인식하고 해양에서의 자국의 권익을 경쟁적으로 추구하고 있다. 이로 인해 아시아 해역에 국가 간 분쟁이 고조되고 있다. 반면에 이러한 해양안보문제를 해결할 국제 안보조직이나 수단은 해결해야할 문제의 크기나 복잡성에 비해 대단히 부족하다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 아시아 국가들이 냉정하게 현실을 직시하고 지혜를 모아 역내 해양안보문제의 범위와 의제들을 재점검해야 한다. 또한 그동안 시행되었던 제반 안보협력의 과정이나 결과도 재평가하여 현재의 해양안보문제를 효율적으로 관리하고 해결해 나가야 한다. 만약 우리가 이러한 문제들을 성공적으로 해결해 낸다면, 현재와 같이 불안한 아시아의 바다는 '평화와 번영의 바다'로 변화될 것이다.

China National People's Congress has passed the bill to combine the Marine Law Enforcement into "State Oceanic Administration People's Republic of China". This bill was intended to resolve the overlapping jurisdiction and disputes caused in ocean territory in nearby countries. The purpose of reorganizing the administration was to combine the dispersed organization into one group. This new big administration was basically organized to increase the power of China marine state on the long-term. The reorganization plan is to group General Administration of Customs, China Marine Surveillance, Fisheries Law Enforcement Command, and Border Control Department into one State Oceanic Administration. The new state Oceanic Administration carries the authority to protect rights and enforce the marine law supported by Public Security Bureau. Korea Coast Guard has been cooperating with China Marine Surveillance since 1998 when the first pact was made. The next step expanded to General Administration of Customs. Currently working with Regional Maritime Law Enforcement organizations dealing mostly with illegal Chinese fishing boats and IEODO conflict. In order to solve the problems we face today is to observe the process of the New China Coast Guard administration, analysing the effects that could be caused by the change and to keep close cooperation between the new administrations.

Security situations are fundamentally and rapidly changing on the Korean Peninsula. Above all, as North Korea(NK) is heightening its nuclear and missile capabilities, Republic of Korea(ROK) is facing an existential threat. At the same time, as China's economic, diplomatic and military power is quickly rising, the balance of power is shifting and strategic competition between the Unite States(US) and China is accelerating in the Asia-Pacific region. Under the pressure of development of these situations, ROK seems to face allegedly the most serious crisis in its national security since the end of the Korean War. In the current grim geopolitical situation, maritime security may become the most difficult security challenge for ROK in the years to come. The purpose of this paper is to compare major changes in maritime security affairs of the ROK during last twenty years from 1998 until now(2018). 1998 was when this journal 『Strategy 21』 was published for the first time by the Korea Institute for Maritime Strategy. Then, this paper tries to identify challenges and risks with which this country has to deal for its survival and prosperity, and to propose some recommendations for the government, the Navy, and the Coast Guard as they are responsible for the maritime security of the country. The recommendations of this paper are as follows: strengthen ROK-US alliance and expand security cooperation with regional powers in support of the maintenance of the current security order in the region; building-up of maritime security capacity in preparation for crisis on the maritime domain with the navy targeting to acquire 'a non-nuclear, balance-of-terror capability, to improve interoperability with the Coast Guard based on 'a national fleet,' and to actively pursue innovation in naval science and technology. Finally, this paper proposes that naval capability the country needs in another twenty years depends on how effectively and rigorously the navy put its utmost efforts towards building 'a strongest navy' today.

The main purpose of this article is to provide an understanding on current maritime issues in the Northeast Asia, and thereby help formulating the right strategy for our national security. The article summarizes core arguments in the recently published 『The 21^st Century Maritime Strategies in the Northeast Asia: Dilemma between Competition and Cooperation』. It will help readers to comprehend historical backgrounds as well as recent updates related to maritime issues and strategies in the region. Also, readers may find guidance to conceive their own maritime strategies for the Republic of Korea. Currently, the U.S. is shifting its focus from Atlantic to Pacific, and increasing its naval presence in Asia-Pacific region. Meanwhile, the 21^st century China views the maritime interests as the top priority in its national security and prosperity. PLA Navy's offensive maritime strategies and naval building such as aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are unprecedented. Japan is another naval power in the region. During the Cold War JMSDF faithfully fulfilled the mission of deterring Soviet navy, and now it is doing its job against China. Lastly, Putin has been emphasizing to build the strong Russia since 2000, and putting further efforts to reinforce current naval capabilities of Pacific Fleet. The keyword in the naval and maritime relations among these powers can be summarized with "competition and cooperation." The recent security developments in the South China Sea(SCS) clearly represent each state's strategic motivations and movements. China shows clear and strong intention to nationalize the islands in SCS by building artificial facilities - possibly military purpose. Obviously, the U.S. strongly opposes China by insisting the freedom of navigation(FON) in international waters as recent USS-Lassen's FON operation indicate. The conflict between China and the U.S. surrounding the SCS seems to be heading towards climax as Russia and Japan are searching for their own national interests within the conflict. Also, the neighboring small and middle powers are calculating their own economic and security interests. This is no exception for us in establishing timely strategies to maximize our own national security. Hopefully, this article leads the readers to the right direction.

Established on February 1st, 2010, The ROKN maritime task flotilla has a goal to successfully cope with North Korea and other potential threats. Unlike precedents of its kind, The ROKN maritime task flotilla is expected to concentrate more an far-sea strategies than coastal strategies. In such circumstances however, the existing maritime logistics systems have limitations upon which to utterly support the operation conception of the ROKN maritime task flotilla seven. To ensure it's efficiency, transformation of the systems is prerequisite. The purpose of this study is to deduce an adequate maritime logistics system for the ROKN maritime task flotilla by evaluating the limitation of the current system and foreseeing its performance necessary abilities to operate in the future. In order to do this, the study presented problems and the direction of development on the structural and behavioral sides. Fist, regarding problems in the structure of maritime logistics system, the investigation pronounced the need of improvement in mobile logistics support ability and its speed. In addition, for the behavioral side, the need of improvement in logistics cooperation system and self-maintenance ability was affirmed. For the development of an adequate maritime logistics system, the study suggested the amelioration in the operation of an adequate mobile logistics support platform and the speed of the logistics using high-speed transportation such as planes for the structural side. Moreover, for the behavioral side, it recommended th enhancement of logistics cooperation system including the nations that already imported th weapon system, amelioration of self-maintenance ability, and necessity to operate mobile maintenance group.
