  • 본 연구는 우리나라 제조업에 있어서 산업별 시장개방의 차이가 기업의 고용전략과 노사관계에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 실증분석을 통하여 살펴본다. 우선 기업의 고용전략 면을 살펴보면 시장개방이 확대될 때 혁신전략 또는 노동비용절약적인 전략 중 어느 특정 전략을 선호하는 것으로는 나타나지 않는데 이는 시장개방이 임금이나 고용에 매우 미약한 영향을 미쳐왔다는 기존의 외국 연구와도 연관성을 갖는다. 또한 세계화 등으로 시장개방이 확대되면 기업이 노동비용절약적인 정책을 보다 더 확대할 것이라는 일반적 우려가 적어도 우리나라 제조업 부문에서는 실증적으로 증명되지 않는다는 것을 보여준다. 시장개방과 노사관계에 관한 연구 결과는 좀더 흥미로운데, 시장개방도가 높은 산업에 속하는 기업일수록 협력적 노사관계를 가질 가능성이 높게 나타나고 있다. 또한 시장개방이 확대될 때 노동조합이 존재하는 경우에 협력적인 노사관계가 보다 더 강해지는 것으로 나타나는데 이는 '대외경쟁'라는 공동의 적이 생기면 노동조합이 있는 경우 노사가 더 합심해서 타계하려고 노력한다는 것을 시사한다.

  • 꽌시는 개인을 중심으로 형성된 혈연, 학연, 지연 등을 토대로 일종의 공동체를 형성하여 개인의 이윤 보장 및 획득의 수단으로 활용하며, 더 나아가 공동체 구성원 간 상호 호혜적 관계를 기반으로 한 상호 책무적 관계인 일종의 '사회 경제 질서 양식'(mode of socio-economic order)을 형성한다. 실질적으로 꽌시에 대한 이해는 소비자의 소비 성향을 분석하기 위한 행위, 기업 간 거래, 기업과 정부 간 연계를 이해하는 핵심 요소이기 때문에 중국에서 효과적인 기업 활동을 위해서는 꽌시에 대한 이해와 수용의 태도가 절대적으로 필요하다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 본 연구는 중국 특유의 비공식적 사적 관계인 꽌시가 대 중국 한국 투자기업의 사업 행위에 끼치는 영향을 검증하기 위하여 대중국 한국 투자기업이 형성하고 있는 꽌시 기반의 네트워크를 분석하였다.

  • Modern Bulgarian nationalists aspired towards incorporating the self-identified Bulgarian lands into the Bulgarian state. The Treaty of San Stefano ending the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 tantalizingly achieved these so-called national ideals. Great Power diplomacy quickly diminished Bulgaria's borders and international legal status with the 1878 Treaty of Berlin, exacerbating nationalist grievances. Bulgaria would expand vast resources to restore the San Stefano borders until Balkan Communist authoritarian regimes eventually suppressed the Macedonian issue as a foreign policy subject. Sofia's policy towards its neighbor has been overdetermined by the efforts of successive Bulgarian governments to institutionalize post-communist Bulgaria's own national identity. Bulgaria's integration into so-called Euro-Atlantic structures, i.e., NATO and the EU, had been the primary strategic objective of the Bulgarian authorities since the end of the Zhivkov regime. North Atlantic community security policy aims in response to the earliest post-Cold War foreign policy crises in the Western Balkans framed the parameters of Bulgarian diplomacy. The stabilization of FYROM in 2001, followed by Bulgaria's 2007 EU accession, led to Bulgarian nationalist values become more salient in Bulgarian politics and foreign policy. Sofia-Skopje relations are a test case for the effects of Europeanization on interdependent Balkan ethno-sectarian nationalisms and state territorial institutional development.

  • Over the last couple of years, digital diplomacy has become a fascinating area of research among Mass Communication, Peace and Conflict Studies, and International Affairs scholars. Social media and new technology open up new avenues for governments, individuals, and organizations to engage with foreign audiences. However, developing countries' governments are still lacking in the realization of the potential of social media. This study aims to analyze the usage of social media (Facebook & Twitter) by the two biggest countries in South Asia (Pakistan and India). I selected 10 government officials' social media accounts including prime ministers', national press offices', military public relations offices', public diplomacy divisions', and ministries of foreign offices' profiles. The study relies on quantitative content analysis and a comparative research approach. The total number of analyzed Twitter tweets (n=1,015) and Facebook posts (n=1,005) include 10 accounts, five from each country. In light of Kent and Taylor's (1998) dialogic communication framework, the results indicate that no digital engagement and dialogue occurs between government departments and the public through social networking sites. Government departments do not engage with local or foreign audiences through digital media. When comparing both countries, results reveal that India has more institutionalized and organized digital diplomacy. In terms of departmental use of social media, the digital diplomacy division and foreign office of India is more active than other government departments in that nation. Meanwhile, Pakistan's military public relations office and press office is more active than its other government departments. In conclusion, both countries realize the potential of social media in digital diplomacy, but still lack engagement with foreign audiences.

  • Since 1998, government-led Korean venture business boom now proceeds into the stage of market-oriented venture business growth. At such a moment, this research is to clarify the relations between the Critical Success Factors of Korean venture businesses, based on domestic and foreign literature surveys and inquiry surveys over domestic venture capitalists. This research starts from the necessity to overcome the limits of the existing researches by uni-dimensional Korean venture businesses and to manifest the multi-dimensional relations between the success factors from the various viewpoints. And this research adopts System-Dynamics methodology to manifest and utilize relations among those factors, avoiding the existing metrical approaches. This research can be called a new approach to the current ecosystems of Korean venture in which whether venture businesses in Korea succeed is considered to depend on the list on the stock market. For this, this research implemented verification analysis through the simulations of each factor at various levels to build causality map which clarifies the causality of success factors of venture businesses through the System-Dynamics methodology and to utilize it as a way of support to decision-making of venture businesses. This research will be able to suggest the reactions depending on various internal and external situations. This research tried to manifest the causality map of each factor on the basis of inquiry surveys and literature surveys to clarify Feedback among each factor by the SD methodology and simulate it. This research will be a basis to establish the chance to bolster up the still fragile probing research into success factors of substructure of venture businesses through the suggestion of possibility as an efficient analysis framework via the verification of SD methodology and the utilization of results of this research.

  • This study analyses North and South Koreas' coverage as framed by the main Polish press titles from 1989 to 2019. The main method applied is a computational textual analysis of press articles based on frequency, correlations and co-occurrences. The purpose is to map the topics of the examined articles in the context of relations between Poland and the two Koreas in various areas, predominantly political and economic relations. Emphasis is placed on the impact the carmaker Daewoo's investment in Poland in the mid-1990s had on bilateral Polish-South Korean relations. First, the authors argue that Korean issues in the Polish press, mainly in the second half of the 1990s, particularly concerned economic affairs. Secondly, they argue that after Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004, the country's interest in the two Koreas decreased, and since that time has remained at a more or less constant level. Finally, the authors discuss the outcome of the research in the context of the main developments in Polish-Korean relations, taking into consideration the results of a Polish public opinion survey presenting the international linkages between national public opinion and foreign policy.

  • Despite being a key concept of International Relations theory, there is no consensus about what the national interest is. It is almost impossible for political leaders of democratic states to make a crucial decision in foreign policies when considering only the national interest without public support. Rather, we are unable to imagine the national interest without public opinion. In general, international crises galvanize people who held different opinions and unify social cleavages, such as secular-religious identities, into a nation that acts in its national interest. The author proposes a method to operationalize the key concept and describes a relationship between the national interest and religious identities in a democratic state. The selected case is the state of Israel. It is believed that Israel is a good example to think about the association between foreign affairs and political attitudes since it is characterized as a socio-religious divided society and has often waged war against Arab military forces.
