  • Background : Efforts towards increasing insurance coverage for traditional Korean medicine (TKM) are being continued. However, various difficulties are faced in generating evidence for TKM due to limited financial support and the low quality of research methodology. Objectives : The objectives of this study were to review the Swiss evaluation program for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and assess the expansion in public health insurance coverage of complementary medicine as approved by referendum in Switzerland. Methods : The regulations of CAM in the European Union were assessed. Research articles, reports, government publications and websites which deal with the 'Programm Evaluation $Komplement{\ddot{a}}rmedizin$ (PEK)' and the referendum in Switzerland were searched for and analyzed. Results : The PEK was conducted from 1998 to 2005. The PEK evaluated the efficacy, utilization and cost-effectiveness of anthroposophical medicine, homeopathy, neural therapy, phytotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. However, clear conclusions could not be drawn from the evaluation according to the PEK Report. Later, a referendum was implemented in which 5 therapies would be added to the Switzerland Constitution with the support of the public. The coverage of CAM was approved by Swiss a plebiscite with an approval rate of 67.0%. Conclusions : The reason for the successful referendum is suggested to be public support and the solidarity with CAM experts and politicians. It may be surmised that recognition of the political efforts and scientific aspects required to expand insurance coverage of TKM, and towards obtaining public support, is necessary.

  • 본 연구는 현재 영국 사회가 보여주고 있는 다양한 측면에서의 분열과 브렉시트의 관계를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 통해 영국 사회의 분열과 브렉시트 결정이 상호 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지 살펴보고자 한다. 영국의 EU 탈퇴는 영국과 EU와의 관계를 중심으로 설명되어 왔고, 이에 이민, EU 규제, 분담금 반환 등이 주요 원인으로 제시되었다. 영국만의 정체성 혹은 영국 예외주의도 이미 오랫동안 영국 사회 및 정치에 존재해 왔던 브렉시트의 원인으로 여겨진다. 비록 브렉시트로 인해 영국 사회의 분열이 초래되었다는 것이 일반적인 논리로 받아들여지고 있지만, 상기 원인들이 국민투표 결과와 포스트 브렉시트 시대에 나타난 영국 사회의 분열을 설명하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 영국 사회의 다양한 분야 - 세대, 소득 및 교육 수준 등을 포함한 사회등급, 가치, 지역 등 -에서 드러난 분열은 브렉시트 문제로 발생한 것이 아님을 규명하고 있다, 오히려 국민투표 시행 이전부터 이미 영국 사회에 뿌리 깊게 자리잡고 있었던 분열이 브렉시트의 근본적 원인이라고 주장한다. 영국 사회에 오랫동안 내재된 다양한 분야에서 분열은 서로 복잡하게 얽혀있으며, 국민투표를 통한 브렉시트 결정은 영국 사회의 분열을 더욱 고착화시키는 결과를 초래하였다. 결국 이러한 영국사회의 분열은 상대에 대한 증오로 확대되고 있다는 점에서 분열을 봉합하고 국민 통합을 위한 정책 수립이 필요하다.

  • It will become more and more popular to use the long-term care facilities and home health care services with the chronic disease increasing. It depends on how much the consumers would pay and purchase the services. They might get more benefits from that kind of services than from ordinary hospitalization. So far, the study of determining the medical service price has focused most often on the efforts from the providers' view. But it must be reasonable to include the consumers' value for the service. This study was performed to assess WTP(Willingness to Pay) for home health care service in order to apply to the determination of nursing price in a reasonable manner. In this study, respondents were asked if they would pay for the service's intangible benefits under the four different types(open-ended minimum WTP, open-ended maximum WTP, bidding WTP, referendum WTP). The contingent valuation method is a potentially useful tool in understanding how people value the benefits of the service. As a result, average open-ended minimum WTP was W16,015 per day among 65 respondents. Average open-ended maximum WTP was W29,154 per day among 65 respondents. Average bidding WTP was W26,300 per day among 65 respondents. Average referendum WTP was W22,200 per day among 70 respondents. The results of regression analyses were also consistent with theoretical prediction, e.g., increasing WTP with consumers' value for the service, state of patients, and household income. This study demonstrated that it was more reasonable to consider the consumers' value in determining the services' price. In addition, a further study is needed to test the validity of this CV method and to determine a proper nursing price based on the consumers' view.

  • Ned Kelly, the bushranger, is a legendary figure of special significance to the Australians of today. The Aussies' affection for this "horse thief" derives from the fact that the latter has become a national ideal of the "battler" who does not give up in the face of hardships. Peter Carey's is considered to be one of the "national narratives" that not only heroize but also give voice to the Irish rebels who fought for "fair go" in the colonial Australia. However, this paper asserts that there are more to the novel than merely paying a tribute to the national icon, especially when the novel is examined in the context of the "republic controversy." In 1999, the preceding year of the novel's publication, Australia had a national referendum on the issue of whether or not to secede from the Commonwealth. Due to the procedural manipulation of the royalist ruling party, republicanism was voted down. At the time when the majority of Australians were irate with the result of the referendum, Carey's retelling of the supposedly anti-British rebel failed to promote the lost cause. This paper investigates how the narrativization of the legendary figure, whose anti-British and anti-authoritarian attitude can be easily translated into the cause of republicanism, came to appeal to the general reading public. In so doing, this paper compares Carey's novel with the historical Kelly's two epistles: Jerilderie and Cameron Letter. This comparison brings to light what is left out in the process of Carey's narrativization of the rebel's life: the subversive militant voice of an Irish nationalist. The conclusion of this paper is that the possibility for Kelly's life to surface again in the 21st century as a sort of counter-memory is contained by Carey through its inclusion in a highly personalized domestic narrative.

  • This paper aims to analyse the impact of city-county consolidation on promotion practices of local government employees, using system dynamics approach. The cases employed in this study are Cheongju City and Cheongwon County which reached the referendum stage twice but without success. While the idea of consolidating two neighbouring local governments via a merger sounds enticing, some opponents argue that consolidation may cause some problems on the part of local government employees, emphasizing that consolidation could lengthen actual time period needed for local government employees' promotion. The majority of the existing literature on city-county consolidation, however, tends to describe the most successful cases, focusing on the achievements it has made or the political processes associated with it. With this in mind, this paper attempts to identify the impacts of consolidation on the local government employees' promotion time period, utilizing system dynamics approach. It concludes that consolidation could rather shorten the time period of promotion of local government employees concerned from the long term perspective.

  • This paper investigates the social attitudes toward compensation of local communities hosting noxious facilities. Using a contingent valuation survey, we find that respondents are more distrustful of government institutes and waste disposal firms than non-governmental organizations. Siting procedures for waste disposal facilities are thought to be unfair 10 general. We also find that social distrust influences the likelihood of voting yes in a referendum to compensate the hosting communities of waste disposal facilities. Individuals who are distrustful of government institutes and waste disposal firms exhibit positive attitudes for the compensation of hosting communities. The higher the level of compensation offered, the less likely to vote yes for compensation.

  • 2018년 11월에 실시된 미국의 중간선거는 트럼프 행정부의 중간평가라는 의미를 가지고 있다. 트럼프 행정부의 이민정책은 미국의 라티노들에게 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 많은 미디어에서 중간선거에서 라티노의 투표율이 증가할 것이며, 민주당후보들의 당선에 커다란 영향을 미칠 것이라고 예측했다. 본 논문의 목적은 라티노의 인구학적 특성, 지리적 인구분포 및 라티노 여론 등에 대한 논의를 바탕으로 중간선거에서 나타난 라티노의 투표행태를 살펴보는 것이다. 현재까지의 제한된 데이터를 분석한 결과 2014년 중간선거와 비교하여 대부분의 선거구에서 라티노의 투표율은 실제로 급격한 상승폭을 보였으며, 이는 민주당후보에 대한 지지로 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 라티노 인구비가 높은 지역에서 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다.

  • 일본 정부는 사용후핵연료의 중간저장시설의 입지로 아우모리현의 무쯔시를 선정했다. 2000년부터 시작된 유치활동이 5 년만에 결실을 맺은 것이다. 한국은 사용후핵연료를 원자력 발전소 내에 저장하고 있는데 2016년이면 저장한계에 이를 것으로 전망되고 있어 일본의 사례연구는 한국에 시사하는 바가 크다. 한국은 경주에 중, 저준위 방사성 폐기물 저장시설을 성공적으로 유치한 경험이 있어 사용후핵연료의 저장시설을 유치하는 학습경험을 축적한 바 있는데 두 나라의 큰 차이점은 한국은 경쟁적인 주민투표를 통하면서 막대한 지역지원금을 지원한다는 점이고 일본은 주민투표를 시행하지 않고 지방자치 정치의 리더쉽이 문제를 해결하는 방식을 택했다는 점이다. 엄청난 지역지원금이 지원되지 않은 점도 일본의 특징이다. 본 연구가 한국의 사용후핵 연료 저장시설을 유치하는 데 도움이 되었으면 하는 바람이다.
