The purpose of this study is to examine level of individual foreign learners' quantitative knowledge of korean vocabulary through the Foreign Learners' Korean Vocabulary Knowledge Assessment and to propose a vocabulary education plan reflecting the result. This assessment was written in focus of semantic relation to identify category, integrated and analytical knowledge of Korean verbs acquired by foreign learners and as a result, the following educational implications were made. First, the learners' knowledge about the vocabulary combinational relationship was very limited. Second, learners are not interested in vocabulary's synonymous relation and antonymous relations. Lastly, there needs to be a concern about postpositional particle-use education. The results of these kinds of research, observes the learners vocabulary acquisition process to determine Korean textbook and present vocabulary level in appropriate in terms of learners' perspective, and provide an opportunity to check if current professors' method is adequate and valid.

Despite a huge amount of foreign assistance and close economic guidance by international donors throughout the past decades, Zambia today still suffer from a high level of aid dependency and the absence of sustainable economic development. In this study, I investigate the factors that resulted in aid (and development) failure in Zambia, focusing on institutional/historical contexts. I propose that in Zambia, government has largely failed to implement (or even produce) effective economic policies that could lead to successful use of foreign assistance for long-term, sustainable development. In particular, I focus on the nature of state and politics in Zambia, and argue that failed politics is one of the main causes of development and aid failure in Zambia and highlight colonial legacies and other contextual/institutional factors to understand the nature of politics and state in Zambia. In particular, this paper proposes that the Zambian case demonstrates that foreign aid and donor influence could worsen the situation directly by simply providing wrong guidance and also by further weakening the state (and institutional) capacity of the recipient country.

메드베데프 정부는 오바마 정부의 '재설정' 정책과 글로벌 경제위기로 인한 경제 현대화의 필요성에 따라 새로운 대외정책노선을 채택했다. 새로운 대외정책의 목표는 경제 현대화를 위한 호의적인 외적 환경 조성과 대외적 자원의 효율적 이용에 있으며, 이를 위한 과제로 다른 강대국들과의 대립 회피, 국경 주변의 분쟁 방지, 외부로부터의 자본 투자와 첨단기술 도입 활성화 등이 설정되었다. 이러한 대외정책노선은 미국과는 전략적 협력의 기반 조성, 유럽과는 '현대화 동맹'을 위한 준비, 중국 및 일본과는 협력과 갈등의 관리, 탈소비에트 국가들과는 전략적 안정과 경제적 통합의 이중전략을 통해 구체화되고 있다. 그러나 새로운 대외정책노선이 미국 및 유럽과의 관계강화를 우선순위에 둔다고 해서, 그것이 1990년대 초 자유주의적 친서방 노선으로의 회귀를 의미하지는 않는다. 러시아가 '현대화' 개혁을 추진하는 궁극적인 목표는 여전히 푸틴 정부의 대외정책노선이었던 다극적 세계질서에 부합하는 강대국 러시아의 재건에 있다. 이런 맥락에서 메드베데프 정부에서 진행되고 있는 대외정책 변화는 목표의 변화 없이 그것을 실현하는 수단 또는 방식의 변화를 의미하는 '국제적 차원의 프로그램 변화(program change on international level)'로 규정할 수 있을 것이다.

Joseph S. Nye defined soft power as the power of attraction to affect the behavior of other states through the use of non-coercive instruments including culture, political values and foreign policy. Over the last two decades, environmental issues have grown in importance on the international agenda and become critical components of states' foreign policy-making. This paper aims to analyze environmental foreign policy as a soft power instrument focusing on two major rising powers: China and India. Traditionally, China and India had been reluctant to make any commitments in the field. However, they have shown greater willingness to act in global environmental governance in the past decade. They started playing more active roles in global climate change negotiations and supported a number of initiatives. Their current rise in global environmental governance has even been praised by the international community as the Paris agreement case demonstrated. This study evaluates China's and India's recent efforts in global environmental governance with a focus on climate change negotiations linking their constructive position to their soft power potential. It is argued that environmental issues are used by these two states as foreign policy strategy to gain more influence in international politics. This study finds out that China's climate-related environmental diplomacy has been more ambitious than that of India and thus has been closer to fulfill its potential as a soft power asset.

In recent decades, Indonesia and the Middle Eastern countries have increased and expanded their political, security, economic, and socio-cultural ties. Qatar is one of the Middle Eastern countries which have fortified ties with Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the nature and scope of Indonesia-Qatar relations through the five-dimensional framework developed by George Eberling, which consists of political-diplomatic, economic-trade, military-security, cultural, and petroleum-energy relations (Eberling 2017). Despite being significantly distinct in history, demography, geographic size, and location, Jakarta and Doha have been provided opportunities to expand their cooperation on multifaceted dimensions by way of common economic, geopolitical, and cultural interests. Throughout the paper, the primary drivers of the cooperation are also discussed, alongside its future prospects.

This study investigates the long-run relationship between the de jure economic, political, and social globalization and foreign direct investments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to establish whether policies that foster trade and investment relations among geographical entities can help revive the GCC countries from the prevailing economic debacles of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is driven by the GCC's quest to fully overcome the economic challenges occasioned by the outbreak of the global pandemic and position itself as the most potent regional economic bloc in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The study employs the panel data of the six GCC countries of Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia from 1971 to 2017. The findings of the panel fully modified ordinary least square regression estimation show that the de jure economic and social globalization have a significant positive impact on the region's foreign direct investment inflows. The impact of the de jure political globalization on foreign direct investment is statistically significant but negatively signed. Based on the preceding findings, we offer some holistic policy recommendations to the GCC region as recipes for timely recovery from the economic impact of COVID-19 and beyond.

약소국이 안보를 위해서 선택하는 정책과 전략은 무의미하며 주변 강대국의 자비로운 의지와 국제관계의 특정한 상황 속에서만 보장될 수 있는 것인가. 본 논문에서는 이러한 질문에 대한 답을 찾기 위해 강대국의 위협에 직면한 약소국들이 어떤 선택을 했는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 전간기 중·동부유럽을 둘러싸고 벌어진 일련의 사건은 국제관계 이론과 외교정책 이론의 검증 사례로 많이 이용되고 있으며, 동시에 약소국의 외교정책과 안보전략이 실패했던 대표적인 사례로 인용되고 있다. 전간기 중·동부유럽은 이 지역을 둘러싼 강대국들 간의 국제관계와 강대국과 약소국의 관계 그리고 약소국과 약소국의 관계를 통해 생존을 위해 투쟁해야 했던 약소국들이 어떤 선택을 했는지를 살펴볼 수 있는 가장 대표적인 사례이다. 더군다나 그들이 선택했던 방안은 사실상 아무런 효력도 발휘하지 못했기 때문에 본 논문에서는 약소국이 강대국의 직접적인 군사적 위협에 처하게 될 경우 어떠한 전략을 선택하는 것이 타당한지를 제시한다. 이러한 목적을 위해 본 논문에서는 약소국이 선택할 수 있는 다양한 전략을 살펴보며, '가상사실(counterfactuals)'을 통해 만약 그러한 전략이 아닌 다른 전략을 선택했다면 어떠한 결과가 나타나게 되었을지를 평가한다.

The paper addresses Erik Cohen's pioneering work on tourism in Thailand, specifically his publications on the relations between Thai women and foreign (farang) men in tourist-oriented encounters. Of sociological-anthropological interest is his conceptualization of these relations as "open-ended prostitution as a skilful game of luck" based on his study of a Bangkok soi (lane) in 1981-1984, and his exploration of Thai culture in terms of ambiguity and contradiction. On the basis of recent ethnographic research in the northern Thai tourist hub of Chiang Mai and wide-ranging observations on tourism development in Thailand, we examine continuity and change in these male-female engagements since Cohen's research, especially in the context of the increasing availability of such electronic agencies as social media, messaging, video chat, and internet dating. Whereas Cohen's concept of ambiguity and illusion has tended to disappear from physical spaces, it seems to have resurfaced in virtual space. The complexities of host-guest relations, and particularly the interactions both within the variegated category of "guests" themselves and then between their "hostesses" are explored in terms of sites of tourism-oriented encounters in both physical and virtual space so as to deconstruct these oppositional categories which have been formative in studies of tourism.

이 연구는 외국인 유학생을 적극적인 커뮤니케이션이 필요한 공중으로 보고, 대학-유학생 관계성의 선행변인(교수역량 서비스, 행정서비스), 결과변인(대학생활 적응) 사이의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 교수역량 서비스와 행정서비스 모두 대학-유학생 관계성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대학-유학생 관계성은 대학생활 적응에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 대학PR의 관점에서 대학-유학생 관계성을 주요한 성과지표로 설정하고, 적극적인 커뮤니케이션 전략 및 메시지 개발을 위한 노력이 필요하다는 점을 논의하였다.
