China has initiated a series of "economic sanctions" against South Korea, affecting Korean pop stars visiting China and Korean investments in China. Sanctions were imposed on South Korea in response to the decision of South Korea to deploy Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in 2016. Furthermore, the Global Daily assembled local population to boycott Korean products and investments in China. However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has never positively confirmed these activities as economic sanctions to South Korea related to the THAAD installation. In other words, the Chinese government singled a relatively weak message via these sanctions to South Korea. As a result, the THADD implementation continued in South Korea. In the paper, I interpret China's rationale to impost puzzling economic sanctions, which have a weak resolution, to South Korea and Taiwan. As signaling theory argues, economic sanctions with insufficient resolution, which are more likely to fail, is a more provocative foreign policy. By reviewing China's sanctions usage to South Korea and Taiwan, I propose arguments of bureaucratic competition to answer why China launched such sanctions to other countries: those are caused by domestic institutions who are seeking reward from the Communist Party of China. By comparing shifts of leadership between domestic agencies, the paper provides evidence to support the proposed argument. I also include two alternative explanations to strengthen the proposed argument, albeit connecting the paper with other two larger streams of research, which address analyses of China's aggressive foreign policies as well as the domestic politics of economic sanctions.

This paper examines empirically if the increase of funding uncertainty in government supported R&D institutes(GSRIs) in Korean cause managers to use more effective management control practices. Recently government introduced a new government R&D budget management system, based on competition, named PBS(Project Base System). Government requires GSRIs to be self-supporting and compete for funding from government. The introduction of new budget management system named PBS, has resulted in the increase of funding uncertainty in GSRIs. According to institutional theory, government organizations gain legitimacy by conforming to external expectations regarding management control practices, In contrast, contingency theory proposes that management control practices are driven by the fit between the technical features of the environment and the management control practices. The contingency literature provides that one external factor expected to motivate government managers to use more efficient control practices is the presence of competition and funding uncertainty. This paper use both theoretical perspective to develop hypotheses and examine the influence of funding environment on management control practices. Results show that the more institutionalized environment, the more managers in GSRIs rely on bureaucratic mode of control for conforming to external requirements, and the greater the funding uncertainty, the more managers use results and personal modes of control to improve research team performance.

The fisheries resources control system in the Fisheries Act of Korea is introducing technical management method and input control method that controls fishing effort. Fishing effort control system of Korea aiming at realizing the maximum sustainable yield does not regulating the limitation of fishing quota and the limitation of fisheries object target fish. Therefore fishing operators who have fishing permit can use fishery resources without any restriction of fishing quota. But there are no rules that can controlling capacity of productivity of fishing by developing of fishing technic and fishing gear. For those reasons, productivity of fishing is superior to reproductivity of fisheries resources. Therefore, the Fisheries Act of Korea rearranges a legal basis for an introduction of fisheries resources management system by TAC, but the contents to be possible for a legal guarantee is not included and it is exceedingly defective as abstract and institutional devices. And that the affairs to be required for an enforcement of the said regime was placed in an administrative mandatory legislation and the danger to be degenerated is high in accordance with the bureaucratic self-righteous and/or the coercion of group's interest concerned and accordingly its substitute legislation system is keenly required. TAC system that is going to be introduced in our country is expected to enforce the Olympic fishing method and the individual quota method in parallel. This method is not certainly proper, because it occurs to overcapitalize and to compete fishing amounts between fishery operators. So as to prevent overcapitalization and fishing competition between fishery operators, and the exhaustion of coastal fisheries resources, individual transferable quota system should be introduced in Korean sea. Accordingly this thesis has attempted to constitute a view to improving problems of the traditional fisheries resources control system and introducing TAC fisheries resources control system.

No one doubts that textile and apparel industries have contributed to economic miracles of the export-led growth in Korea. However, by the turning of 1990′s, these sectors have encountered many problems such as decreasing of domestic production and exports mainly due to wage rise and shortage. Therefore, foreign direct investment to the low labor cost countries has been enlarged for a way of improving its competitiveness and increasing exports. However, no intensive study has been made exploring current investments and future directions. This study focuses Vietnam as one of the promising overseas investment countries. The purposes of this study are to analyze current investment status of Korean textiles and apparel firms in Vietnam, to explore merits and problems Vietnam has, and to present useful implications and strategies for Korean textiles and apparel companies. Analysis of current secondary data suggests that Korean apparel industry, rather than textiles industry, have invested more in Vietnam, mostly in southern Ho Chi Minh City. Investments of Korean apparel and textile firms have shown steady increase from 1990 but have turned to a decrease from 1995. Findings suggested that Vietnam has merits for attracting foreign investment since it provides relatively cheap labor and outstanding skillful hands suitable for apparel and textiles industries. In addition, because of EU quota increase and the trade agreement between Vietnam and USA it is likely for firms in Vietnam to increase exports to EU and USA Rapid expansion of domestic apparel market and "Korean trend (Han Rue)" in Vietnam resulted from successful star marketing of Korean firms are another merits Vietnam has to the Korean fm. However, regulations of central government, low efficiency of bureaucratic and stiff administrative process, difficulty of making decision in case of joint venture, lack of social overhead capital, high factory construction costs, weak construction condition, and the excessive competition among investment enterprises have found to be problems. Based on pros and cons of investment to Vietnam, marketing strategies, practical implications and future directions were suggested.

본고(本稿)의 목적(目的)은 지난 1980년대의 주요산업정책(主要産業政策) 결정과정(決定過程)에서 나타난 경쟁정책(競爭政策)의 역할(役割)과 역할한계(役割限界)의 원인(原因)을 고찰함에 있다. 1980년대의 주요산업정책 결정인 1986년의 공업발전법제정(工業發展法制定), 1986~87년 기간중 동법(同法)에 근거한 합리화업종지정(合理化業種指定), 그리고 1986~88년 기간중 조세감면규제법(租稅減免規制法)에 근거한 부실기업정리(不實企業整理)의 세 과정에서 경쟁정책(競爭政策)은 극히 제한된 역할밖에 하지 못하였다. 경쟁정책(競爭政策)의 역할한계(役割限界)의 원인(原因)에 대하여 본(本) 연구(硏究)는 정책집행론(政策執行論)의 다섯가지 가설(假說) - 법령상(法令上)의 문제(問題), 자원부족(資源不足), 직무태도(職務態度) 및 동기상(動機上)의 문제(問題), 전문성(專門性) 부족(不足), 그리고 불리(不利)한 정책집행환경(政策執行環境) - 을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 분석결과(分析結果), 경쟁정책(競爭政策) 담당기관(擔當機關)의 제한(制限)된 전문성(專門性)과 경쟁정책(競爭政策)의 효율적인 집행을 저해하는 정책환경상(政策環境上)의 요인(要因)이 가장 의미 있는 변수로 나타났다. 이러한 경쟁정책(競爭政策)의 역할한계(役割限界)의 원인(原因)에 대한 분석(分析)을 토대로, 본고(本稿)는 현재 논의가 진행중인 우리나라 공정거래제도(公正去來制度)의 제도개선방안(制度改善方案)을 평가(評價)한 후, 불리(不利)한 정책집행환경(政策執行環境)의 개선(改善)을 위한 제도적(制度的) 조치(措置)와 전문성제고(專門性提高)를 위한 경제기획원(經濟企劃院)의 순환보직제도(循環補職制度)의 합리적(合理的) 조정방안(調整方案) 및 공정거래위원회(公正去來委員會)의 내부조직(內部組織) 개편방안(改編方案)을 제시(提示)하였다.

본 연구는 전지구화의 일면인 신자유주의적 경제논리와 맞물리며 예술기관의 자율성 확보라는 과제에 대응해왔던 국립현대미술관(이하 국현)의 사례를 다룬다. 국현은 개관 이후 정부의 개발주도형 국가체제와 관료주의적 논리로 인해 그 운영 자율성이 제한된 상태로 운영되어왔다. 1997년의 IMF 금융위기 이후, 국현은 신자유주의적 패러다임의 세계적 확산과 동시에 정부 부문의 구조조정 차원에서 시도된 책임운영기관화와 특수법인화의 대상기관으로 지정되면서 그 운영적 자생력을 평가받게 된다. 논문에서는 두 정책 사업이 어떠한 문화사회적 배경 하에 추진되었는지를 살펴본다. 나아가 이 사업의 시행 또는 철회 여부와는 별개로 국립예술기관의 운영 자율성을 보장한다는 취지에서 시행하고자 했던 책임운영기관화와 특수법인화가 국현의 이해주체들 간의 어떠한 충돌을 야기했는지 논의해본다. 연구 결과, 신자유주의 담론에 입각한 조직개편은 국현으로 하여금 차별적 맥락의 '공공성'을 동시적으로 충족시켜야 하는 운영적 딜레마를 야기할 수 있다. 또한 정부의 개입을 최소화하여 경쟁 원리에 따른 성과중심 체제를 정착시킨다는 본래의 취지와는 달리, 위제도들의 실질적 운영 주체가 여전히 국가(정부)이며 그 영향력이 영속적인 형태로 유지될 수 있음을 조명했다.

우리나라의 수산정책(水産政策)과 원양어업관련(遠洋漁業關聯) 정부규제(政府規制)는 과거부터 연안어업보호(沿岸漁業保護)와 기존사업자간의 이해조정을 위해 제한적이고 간섭적인 요소가 많이 존재하고 있다. 이는 사업자들의 기술개발(技術開發) 및 비용절감(費用節減) 의지(意志)를 약화시켜 산업의 장기적 체질강화(體質强化)를 위해서도 바람직하지 않을 뿐 아니라, 사업자간의 형평문제(衡平問題)도 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 오랜 동안 누적되어온 어가안정정책(魚價安定政策)은 국내어가(國內魚價)의 상승을 초래하여 국민경제적 부담이 되고 있을 뿐 아니라, 어업의 산업구조조정(産業構造調整)을 지연시키고 연안(沿岸) 어자원(魚資源)의 고갈을 촉진시키는 한 요인이 되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 현행 원양어업(遠洋漁業) 관련정책(關聯政策) 정부규제(政府規制)의 문제점을 검토하고 원양어업의 장기적 발전과 자율화의 추세에 부응하기 위한 정부규제(政府規制)의 개선방안(改善方案)을 제시하고자 하였다. 주요개선방안으로는 허가과정(許可過程)의 객관화(客觀化)와 투명화(透明化)를 보장하기 위한 의무허가제(義務許可制)의 도입과 이를 통한 연근해어업(沿近海漁業) 구조조정기금(構造調整基金)의 조성, 허가조건 및 업종구분의 단순화와 어선확보(漁船確保)에 대한 규제의 완화를 통한 경영합리화(經營合理化) 여건의 조성, 신어장개척(新漁場開拓)에 대한 유인제공 등을 제시하고 있다.
