  • This research aims to analyze the external activities of local governments in South Korea from the perspective of the developing trends in city diplomacy, contrary to the conventional and narrow concept regarding local government's international exchange and cooperation as a public diplomacy. In detail, this research intends to illustrate the following: first, to differentiate South Korean local governments' growing commitment to international affairs from public diplomacy; second, to highlight the integration of public diplomacy with other forms of diplomacy within the framework of city diplomacy. This research argues that city diplomacy in South Korea has gradually shown the following three trends and characteristics. First, South Korean local governments have recognized the importance of participating in multilateral diplomacy via city networks to find compelling solutions to non-traditional and transnational security threats. They perceive this external activity as an opportunity for policy sharing and problem-solving with foreign partners. Second, local governments in South Korea have been fostering various ways to institutionalize their involvement in foreign affairs and organizations, such as amendments to related laws and the launching of task forces, to pursue so-called sustainable and systematic international exchange and cooperation. Lastly, South Korean local governments have constructed multiple channels and multilevel governance in the form of public-private partnerships to enhance policy expertise and cope with diverse agendas.

  • 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.

  • Through the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) program, the government of the Republic of Korea annually invites over a thousand international students to learn the Korean language and obtain a higher education degree from Korean universities. One of the program's goals is positioned within the public diplomacy framework. Korea seeks to cultivate Korea-friendly networks and transform GKS students and alumni into ambassadors to contribute to Korea's promotion abroad. However, there is no clarity on whether this mechanism works as expected. This study examines GKS students' relationship-building experiences with South Koreans during and after the exchange program. Analysis of twenty in-depth interviews with the program's alumni reveals both what facilitates and what obstructs personal and professional relationship-building between scholarship recipients and South Koreans at different stages (language year and degree years) of the program and after graduation. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for universities, GKS administrators, and the South Korean government regarding their policies for scholarship holders.

Meanwhile, in the 15th and the 16th century, with expanding of active trade towards Japan, the amount of export increased rapidly. As a result of the increase of exporting cotton cloths, the raw cottons production was increased and cotton cloth manufacturing was developed. However, it also expanded a dual structure of cotton cloths between the cotton cloths for exports and the cotton cloths for domestic markets. This dual structure of cotton cloth was lead to the deterioration of cotton cloths and had an effect on the price increases of domestic markets.

  • Since the division of South and North Korea in 1945, there has been little exchange in science and technology, despite some interchange in a few fields including the chemistry area. Accordingly, the difference in scientific and technological terminology between the two Koreas has become intensified. This is because North Korea carried out a campaign to purify the Korean language and blocked the inflow of foreign words. They also tried to convert into their own North Korean terms in many fields. This circumstance in North Korea aggravated the heterogeneity of inter-Korean scientific and technological terms. In particular, the heterogeneity of chemical terminology has worsened due to the different characteristics of the technology donor countries such as the United States and Japan in South Korea, and China and the Soviet Union in North Korea between the two Koreas and the different way of technological development. The purpose of this study is to collect chemical terminology data used in two Koreas and analyze similarities and differences. Through comparative analysis of inter-Korean terminology in the chemical field, it can be possible to recognize how the chemical terms between the two Koreas have changed since the division and the degree of heterogeneity based on different technical systems and language policies. The outcome of this study would present basic data on the unification of chemical terminology in preparation for before and after unification, and contribute to communication and academic exchange between researchers in the inter-Korean scientific and technological fields, including chemistry.

  • 우리나라는 눈부신 경제발전을 바탕으로 아시아를 넘어 세계 곳곳에 영향력을 미치는 위상을 보유하게 되었다. 이러한 발전이 가능할 수 있었던 배경에는 우리나라가 과거 위기의 상황 속에서 국가의 존립을 지킬 수 있도록 귀중한 생명을 바치고 공헌한 분들의 존재가 있었기 때문이다. 매년 우리나라는 국가유공자, 6.25 참전용사와 유가족들과 함께 기념행사를 개최하며 대내외에 희생과 공헌에 대하여 감사의 뜻을 전하고, 경제적인 지원도 해오고 있다. 6.25 전쟁의 비극, 민주화 운동 등 지난 반세기 동안 우리나라에서 발생한 일들이 시간이 흐르면서 먼 옛날의 과거와 같은 역사로 변해 잊혀지게 될 것이다. 세대가 여러 차례 바뀌고, 지역별로 이루어지는 교류의 기회나 방법에 변화가 생겨나면서 과거에 발생한 비극적인 사태와 국가를 위해 희생한 분들을 기리는 방식도 이전과는 다른 모습이 될 것으로 보인다. 특히, 6.25 전쟁의 참전용사와 유가족들은 현재 고령의 나이로서 그 수가 점점 줄어들고 있다. 또한 코로나19와 같이 전 세계적인 전염병의 발생으로 왕래가 이전처럼 자유롭지 못하게 되면서 인적 교류나 행사 등을 기획하고 실시하는데 어려움이 발생하기도 한다. 현재 우리나라의 디지털 기술은 우리들의 삶을 크게 변화시키고 있다. 5G 통신망, 스마트 폰, 태플릿 PC, 가상현실을 체험할 수 있는 스마트 기기 등이 실생활에서 흔히 사용되고 있다. 메타버스 환경에서 비즈니스 미팅이 이루어지기도 하며, 유명 가수의 콘서트가 온라인 동영상 플랫폼 환경에서 개최되기도 한다. 인력 채용, 고객 대응 서비스 영역에도 인공지능 기술이 도입되어 기업들의 업무 효율도 향상되고 있다. 이러한 기술은 지금까지 우리가 해오던 보훈 분야에서도 활용될 수 있다. 디지털 기술 방식을 온라인 플랫폼에서 실현시켜 보훈외교 방식을 다양화한다면, 지구 반대편에 있는 보훈 대상 유공자와 가족들도 행사 참여는 더욱 편리해질 것이다. 그리고 6.25 전쟁 중의 상황을 생생히 보여줄 수 있는 메타버스 기술, 현재 생존하고 있는 참전용사들의 목소리와 표정을 디지털화하여 장기적으로 미래 세대에게 그 경험과 교훈을 공유해줄 수 있을 것이다.

  • 북한의 변화와 동향 파악에 대한 연구는 북한관련 정책에 대한 방향을 결정하고 북한의 행위를 예측하여 사전에 대응 할 수 있다는 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 북한 동향에 대한 연구는 전문가를 중심으로 과거 사례를 서술적으로 분석하여, 향후에 북한의 동향을 분석하고 대응하여 왔다. 이런 전문가 서술 중심의 북한 변화 및 동향 연구에서 비정형데이터를 이용한 텍스트마이닝 분석이 더해지면 보다 과학적인 북한 동향 분석이 가능할 것이다. 특히 북한의 동향 파악과 북한의 대남 관련 행위와 연관된 연구는 통일 및 국방 분야에서 매우 유용하며 필요한 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 북한의 신문 기사 내용을 활용한 텍스트마이닝 방법으로 북한과 관련한 핵심 단어를 구축하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 김정은 집권 이후 최근의 남북관계의 극적인 관계와 변화들을 기반으로 세 개의 기간을 나누고 이 기간 내에 국내 언론에 나타난 북한과 관련성이 높은 단어들을 시계열적으로 분석한 연구이다. 북한과 관련한 주요 단어들을 세 개의 기간별로 분류하고 당시에 북한의 태도와 동향에 따라 해당 단어와 주제들의 관련성이 어떻게 변화하였는지를 파악하였다. 본 연구는 텍스트마이닝을 이용한 연구가 남북관계 및 북한의 동향을 이해하고 분석하는 방법론으로서 얼마나 유용한 것이지를 파악하는 것이었다. 앞으로 북한의 동향 분석에 대한 연구는 물론 대북관계 및 정책에 대한 방향을 결정하고, 북한의 행위를 사전에 예측하여 대응 할 수 있는 북한 리스크 측정 모델 구축을 위한 연구로 진행 될 것이다.
