Purpose: Global warming is increasingly aggravated by environmental degradation, a challenge that can be mitigated through strategic logistic policies. This study introduces the dynamics of green trade in environmental goods for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) nations. It is a region known for its high environmental degradation, political risk and instability. This study examines how technological innovation and political factors influence the geographic distribution of green trade among OIC nations from 1994 to 2021 using the structural gravity model. The COVID-19 pandemic further emphasised the need for resilient and eco-friendly approaches. Research design, data and methodology: The main objective of the study is to analyse the impact of technological innovation along with scrutinising political determinants of green trade in the OIC region from 1994 to 2021 using the structural gravity model. Results: The results reveal geographic proximity, RTA, and innovation significantly boost green trade. Similarly, OIC's green trade performance has been impeded by high political risk and instability. Conclusions: The research recommends fostering political stability, and conducting further research using longitudinal studies and machine learning to strengthen the understanding of innovation and green trade in the OIC. This will inform policies for sustainable economic growth through green trade.

When comparing media freedom in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, so-called "fake news" appears as threats to a deliberative (online) public sphere in these three diverse contexts. However, "racist propaganda", "information operations" and "negative campaigning" might be more accurate terms that explain these forms of systematic manipulative political communication. The three cases show forms of disinformation in under-researched contexts and thereby expand the often Western focused discourses on hate speech and fake news. Additionally, the analysis shows that harmful disinformation disseminated online originates from differing contextual trajectories and is not an "online phenomenon". Drawing on an analysis of connotative context factors, this explorative comparative study enables an understanding of different forms of harmful disinformation in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. The connotative context factors were inductively inferred from 32 expert interviews providing explanations for the formation of political communication (control) mechanisms.

This study aims to identify the enactment factors of the National Basic Livelihood Institution in context of policy making process by using Kingdon's policy Stream Model. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, an economic crisis has worsened social problems, and the president Kim Dae-jung recognized these problems as serious and worried about social confusion and polarization. Second, NGOs as like People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy put efforts into enacting the Act. Also, the president Kim's government faced a series of political crisis and needed political solution including foundation of a new party, which considered social welfare most important. Third, the PSPD designed the Act. But the alternatives of related government ministries were not selected. In conclusion, the National Basic Livelihood Institution was enacted by the combination of these three factors stream. Especially the political stream was strongest.

The purpose of this paper is to find out the set of the factors influencing on the successful voluntary consolidation among local governments. This paper considers the voluntary consolidation as a kind of coordination mechanism and institutional collective action process between local governments, and identifies the configurations of the causal factors influencing the voluntary consolidations by applying the fuzzy-set analysis. It is found that the sets of the causal factors which include political and economic homogeneity factors in the region, and interlocal political, economic, and social homogeneity factors, and prior consolidation experience between regions have positive effects on the consolidations. Also, it turns out that interlocal homogeneity and conformity between regions should be considered significantly for institutionalization which supports the consolidation between local entities.

The 'One Belt One Road (OBOR)' initiative, which was promulgated as part of the enlargement policy along with the advent of Xi Jinping in 2013, is a policy to expand China's political and economic power externally through linkages with neighboring countries. China's overseas port investment plays an important role in the promotion of the 'OBOR' policy from the coast of China through maritime transportation routes from S.E Asia to Mediterranean and Europe. Since China's overseas port investment has been made from several factors such as political, economic, and military motives, it differs in purpose and character from investments made by private companies, such as Global Port Operators(GTO) which consider profitability first. This study aims to address future prospects and implications by analyzing the geopolitics of China's overseas port investment under the 'One Belt One Road' initiative. According to the results, China's overseas port investment is dominated by state-owned enterprises and political and security factors are more important than profitability. China's overseas port investment has been on a large scale in a short period of time, and China has faced with various problems both domestically and internationally. such as debt default, environmental problems, subordination problems from recipient countries and political and military confrontation with great countries such as United States, Japan and India etc.

This study investigates the effect of infrastructure, economic sectors and its status, foreign direct investment and private investment, as well as the role of political stability in enhancing the tourism demand in the ASEAN region. The research collected the secondary data from the World Bank database and the UNWTO website of 10 ASEAN countries over 17 years from 2000 to 2016. Applying the generalized method of moments, this research found that, "private investment", "economic sectors", "exchange rate and infrastructure measured by "using of the internet" can increase the tourism demand of a country in the ASEAN region. This research provided evidence indicating that the "foreign direct investment" and "inflation" are two detrimental factors for tourist attraction. The major finding confirmed the positive role of "political stability" in increasing tourist arrivals. First, attracting tourists to a country always poses many challenges to its government. It has been observed in the past decades that though there were many documents, which confirmed that industry can help in promoting tourism, very few studies investigated the role of both agriculture and manufacturing sectors in tourism promotion. Secondly, there are only a few studies which verifies the stability of the political system to the tourism demand in the ASEAN region and that this variable (political stability) has the strongest impact.

본 연구는 아동돌봄의 사회화 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보고, 아동돌봄 문제에 대한 사회적 인식과 저변의 확대에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 실시되었다. 정치성향과 세대(연령)의 차이는 아동돌봄의 사회화 인식에 영향을 미치는 주요한 변수로 증명되었다. 특히 연령은 유교사상의 영향을 받은 한국사회에서 연령이 높을수록 돌봄 문제를 개인의 문제로 한정하는 경향이 있어 돌봄 문제의 사회화 인식에 세대(연령)이라는 중요한 변수가 있음을 다시 한번 확인하게 되었다. 또한 정치성향이 진보적일수록 돌봄의 사회화 인식이 높아짐을 확인하였다. 이는 한국사회에서 돌봄의 사회화 문제가 과도하게 정치적 이슈로 부각되고 있다는 것을 반영하는 결과로 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 본 연구 결과를 토대로 제언할 수 있는 것은 소득이라는 변수가 돌봄 문제의 사회화에 영향을 미치는 통계적으로 유의한 변수로 도출 되지 못한 것이다. 일반적으로 복지 증세와 관련하여 소득계층에 따라 국민적 저항을 유발한다고 이야기 하지만 아동의 돌봄 문제에 대해서는 소득수준은 아동돌봄의 사회화 인식이 변화에 유의한 변수로 분석되지는 못하였다. 이는 돌봄 문제는 소득의 계층차이 보다는 다양한 사회적 요인으로 결정될 수 있다는 가능성을 발견하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 돌봄 문제에 대하여 사회적 해결방안을 마련하기 위해 정치적 수단화를 경계할 방안을 모색하고 연령에 따른 가치관의 차이를 극복하고 사회통합이라는 거시적 관점을 적용하여 접근할 구체적 시도를 마련하도록 해야 할 것이다.

이 연구는 제 18대 대통령 선거를 전후로 대중화된 정치엔터테인먼트가 시민들 간의 정치대화에 미치는 영향에 주목했다. 특히 정치엔터테인먼트 시청이 정치대화를 촉진할 수 있는 심리적 매개 요인으로 수용자 관여도와 정치정보효능감을 제시했으며, 등장인물과의 동일시와 준사회적 상호작용, 그리고 내용에 대한 몰입 등을 관여도의 하위 차원들로 고려했다. 총 317명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시했으며, 이 중 해당 프로그램 시청 경험이 있는 273명을 분석 대상으로 삼았다. 분석 결과, 엔터테인먼트 포맷 위에 정치 메시지를 얹는 오락성이 강한 프로그램만이 시청자의 동일시와 몰입 수준을 높였으며, 이 중 동일시 경험은 정치지식에 대한 효능감을 증진시켰다. 나아가 이용자의 정치정보효능감은 정치대화 참여의사와 정치적 이견에 대한 경청의사에 긍정적인 효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 정치엔터테인먼트 시청이 동일시와 효능감을 매개로 정치대화나 이견경청에 미치는 간접적인 효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 정치엔터테인먼트 시청은 정치정보효능감을 매개로 정치대화에 대한 참여적인 태도를 제고하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to examine a potential association between community factors and the establishment of Local Healthy Family Support Centers (LHFSCs). Community factors were population size, community size, local finance independency, number of workplaces per 1,000 people, number of colleges, political party affiliation of mayor, and political party affiliation of congressman. Data of this study were collected from the census indicators of 222 communities from 2004 to 2014 and analyzed by frequency, mean, geographical information system mapping, and the binary logit analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, LHFSCs are less likely to be established in communities in the provinces of Gangwon, Chungbuk, and Gyeongbuk. Second, the population size was positively related to the establishment of LHFSCs. Third, finance independency was positively associated with the establishment of LHFSCs. Forth, a mayor was more likely to establish LHFSCs if they were affiliated with the ruling conservative political party. However, the establishment of LHFSCs was not affected by other factors such as community scale, number of workplaces per 1,000 people, the number of colleges, and party affiliation of congressman. Thus, the conclusion suggests family policy implications to improve the geographical imbalance of LHFSCs based on the analysis results.
