Recent years have witnessed renewed interest in Africa and public diplomacy has emerged as the vital tool being used to cultivate these relations. China has been leading in pursuing stronger economic partnership with Africa while middle powers such as Korea are also intensifying engagement with the continent. While previous studies have analyzed the implications of China's activities in Africa on advanced powers, none has examined them from the paradigm of middle powers. This study fills this gap by assessing China's activities in Africa, their economic engagement and implications for Korea's interest in Africa. The analysis is qualitative based on secondary data from various sources and literature. The study shows that China's public diplomacy strategy involves a high degree of innovation and has evolved to encompass new tools and audiences. China has institutionalized a cooperative model that permeates many aspects of governance institutions in Africa, enabling it to strengthen their relations. This could also be helping China to adjust faster leadership transitions in Africa. Whereas the US is still the most influential country in Africa, China is influential in economic policies and has outstripped the US in infrastructure diplomacy. This could be because African policy makers align more with China's economic model than the US' mainstream economics. Chinese aid to Africa has been diversified to social sectors that are more responsive to the needs of Africa. Trade and investment relations between China and Africa have deepened, but so does trade imbalance since 2010. China mainly imports natural resources and raw materials from Africa. But this product portfolio is not different from Korea and the US. China's energetic insertion in Africa using various strategies has significant implications for countries with ambitions in Africa. Korea can achieve its ambitions in Africa by focusing resources in areas it can leverage its core strengths-such as education and vocational training, environmental policy and development cooperation.

Objective: The Job Demand & Resources model suggests work characteristics are related to mental well-being and work engagement. Previous work describes the development of a combined construct 'engaged well-being at work' (EWB). To what extent changes in measures of this construct are responsive to changes in job demands and resources or associated with changes in job-related attitudes has not been established. Methods: Longitudinal employee-level data from three waves (German Linked Personnel Panel) were used. Logistic and linear fixed effects regression analyses explored longitudinal associations between changes in EWB for participants over a three-year period with changes in job demands and resources and job-related attitudes (job commitment, satisfaction, and turnover intentions). Results: While job resources were associated with increased odds for a change into a healthier and/or more engaged category of EWB, job demands reduced them. Job resources were more strongly related to higher EWB (OR_range = 1.22 - 1.61) than job demands (OR_range = 0.79 - 0.96). Especially psychological job demands showed negative associations with improved EWB (OR = 0.79). A change from the least desirable category 'disengaged strain' to any other category of EWB was associated with greater odds by up to 20.6 % for increased commitment and job satisfaction and lower odds for turnover intentions. Discussion: Improving work characteristics, especially job resources, could increase employees' EWB, emphasizing the importance of job characteristics for a healthy workplace. Because EWB seems to be associated with job attitudes, an improvement of this indicator would be relevant for employees and employers.

본 논문은 가족 친화적 조직문화가 사회복지기관 기혼 여성 사회복지사의 직무열의에 미치는 영향과, 양자 간에 일-가정 갈등이 가진 매개효과를 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 사회복지기관의 바람직한 가족 친화적 조직문화 조성을 위한 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과, 가족 친화적 조직문화는 직무열의에 직접적인 영향을 미치고, 일-가정 갈등을 매개로 직무열의에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 일-가정 갈등이 가족 친화적 조직문화와 직무열의 간의 매개효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 가족 친화적 조직문화가 기혼 여성 사회복지사의 일-가정 갈등을 경감시키고 직무열의를 향상시키는 좋은 방안임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 사회복지기관의 가족 친화적 조직문화를 형성하기 위해서는 일과 가정의 조화를 중시하는 가치를 공유하는 수준을 넘어, 조직 내 모든 근로자에게 적용되는 탄력근무제와 직무표준화, 성과관리제 그리고 인사시스템 등을 갖추어져야 한다고 제언했다.

지난 30여 년간 서구 민주주의 사회를 중심으로 시민참여형 과학기술 거버넌스에 대한 논의와 실험이 다양하게 이루어졌다. 이에 대한 당위성에는 사회적 공감대가 형성되었지만 이를 통해 궁극적으로 얻고자 하는 목표와 방법론은 다양했다. 본 논문에서는 겉으로 주창되는 규범적, 실제적 이유와는 달리 은밀히 내재된 도구적 관점의 시민참여 논리가 갖는 정책적 함의를 고찰한다. 사례로 영국의 시민참여형 과학기술 거버넌스 담론의 형성과정과 실험을 분석한다. 1990년대 후반부터 제도권의 다양한 정책관련 기관들이 주장한 시민참여형 과학기술 거버넌스의 필요 논리에 이용된 쟁점 및 실제로 시행된 두 공론화 과정(유전자 변형 작물의 상업화 관련 GM Dialogue와 방사성 폐기물 처리 방법 관련 CoRWM의 프로그램)에 드러난 도구적 관점을 분석한다. 이를 통해, 시민참여형 과학기술 거버넌스로의 전환 시도에는 겉으로 주창된 민주주의적 의사결정과 창의적 문제해결의 목표 외에, 이해관계자들이 자신의 이해 실현을 위해 도구로서 이용하려는 은밀한 시도들이 있었음을 보여준다.

What is the relationship between city diplomacy and public diplomacy in the United States? Whilst this question is often raised among scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy, a concrete and systematic response to it seems difficult to locate. This paper addresses the question by relying on earlier research based on empirical analysis of data from semi-structured interviews with city officials with international purview in the United States as well as with current and former officials at the U.S. Department of State who have worked on topics related to city diplomacy. The research and analysis that informs this paper and the diagrams it offers are hinged on design principles and adopt an architecture studio style approach to data analysis. Further, multidimensional scaling and correspondence analysis are used to visualize the convergence and divergence between the functions of public diplomacy, as introduced by Nicholas Cull, and the functions of city diplomacy that this paper introduces. This is done to first, provide a framework for understanding the dynamics between city diplomacy and public diplomacy; and second, uncover the policy intervention space that could guide policies for making U.S. city diplomacy and public diplomacy more strategically aligned.

This study explores the issue of campus expansion of an urban university using an in-depth case study of New York University in New York City, USA. It investigates the physical pattern and development mechanism of the campus expansion process on a city grid structure. The three elements that characterize NYU's recent campus expansion, are (1) the university's commitment to building a student community around a public open space on a subway network, (2) four types of property acquisition and building development practiced by the university with private developers for space leasing, building renovation and development under changing local development circumstances, and (3) the city's initiative for attracting the private sector whose development activities influence the university's development dynamics. These findings suggest that the expansion planning of an urban university, due to its location in a city, should be placed on a local planning agenda, which can positively contribute to public goals through the collaborative engagement of the private and public sectors.

While there has been a substantial amount of studies on public rental housing of Korea, most have focused on housing policy changes, international comparisons, and current characteristics and future prospects. This article aims to examine the evolving roles of the national and local governments, and the private sector in provision of Korea's public rental housing. The findings suggest that one, although the wave of neoliberalism and financial crisis have prompted the national government to reduce its role and to encourage engagement of other actors by utilizing incentivizing tools, it has continued to assume a central position in formulating and implementing housing supply plans. Two, local governments have played a marginal role throughout the history of public rental housing supply, although they have expanded their participation through redevelopment projects and utilization of existing housings. Three, private sector actors have expanded their role to delivering public benefits of making housing available for a wider range of populace leveraging various incentives that make projects financially more feasible. The study poses a question on how responsibilities and risks can appropriately be allocated among three key actors to achieve housing welfare going forward.
