WTO 통신협상 시 우리 나라 통신서비스 분야의 주요쟁점사안 중의 하나는 기간통신사업자의 외국인투자한도 확대이다. 주요 선진국들은 통신서비스 시장규모와 발전전망이 높은 우리 나라에 투자하기 위하여 외국인 지분한도 확대 및 외국인 대주주 허용에 많은 관심을 표명하고 있다. 외국인 지분한도 완화에 따른 긍정적 효과가 부정적 효과 보다 클 경우 국내 통신서비스 시장 발전에 유익할 것으로 예상된다. 특히 배당수익을 목적으로 하는 지분 참여를 통한 외국으로부터 자본을 도입하여 경영진이 효율적으로 사업을 주도할 경우 순기능 효과를 발휘하게 된다. 그러나 부정적 효과가 크다면 지분확대가 통신사업발전에 장해가 될 것이다. 이에 본 고에서는 우리 나라의 추가적인 외국인 지분보유 한도 확대에 앞서 기간통신사업자에게 미칠 긍정적 또는 부정적 파급효과를 분석해 보고, 외국인 지분확대에 따른 부정적 효과를 최소화하기 위한 질적 규제장치 도입 등 대응방안을 모색하고자 한다.

미국은 WTO 기본통신협상을 통하여 통신서비스 시장개방을 위한 토대를 마련해 두었으며, 최근에는 실질적인 시장개방 효과를 거두기 위하여 추가적인 규제완화를 제 외국에 요구하고 있다. 그 대표적인 예가"규제완화 및 경쟁정책에 관한 일미간의 강화발의안(Enhanced Initiative)"에서 나타나고 있는 일본에 대한 통신접속료 수준의 인하 요구이다. 본 고에서는 1998년 5월에 시작되어 2000년 7월에 결착을 보기까지 3차에 걸쳐 일미간에 전개된 통신협상 전개과정을 개관한 후,"규제완화 및 경쟁정책에 관한 일미간의 강화발의안에 대한 제3차 공동현황보고서" 내용 중 통신분야, 특히 상호접속과 관련된 내용을 주로 살펴보고 우리나라 통신정책에 시사하는 점이 무엇인가를 고찰하고자 한다.

European integration is characterized by the development of a transnational European identity, which is considered an integral part of the process. Northeast Asia has no similar projects to address the common identity issue, although cooperation is highly valued there as well. Identity and cooperation both require interdisciplinary approaches combining social psychology, international relations theory and international economics. This article considers the problems of applying existing studies on cooperation and identity as well as the European experience (with the Baltic Sea example) to the case of Northeast Asia. Transnational identities promote cooperation beyond the limits of rationalistic game theory, if countries of the region can define their identities and interests, commit to common goals, create shared discourses and reach a balance between nationalism and internationalism. In view of proposed negotiations on the free trade area between China, Korea and Japan and ongoing discussions about a possibility of introducing a common currency (ACU) it can be crucial to consider the importance of identity building as early as possible, before regional integration meets a stumbling block of egoistic rationality that is a problem in any model of cooperation.

In general, a source of international law comes out of either treaties or customs. Process of forming treaty law is relatively clear as it is created by both negotiations of legal experts in issue and express of states concerned in the international conferences. However, this process does not apply to the creation of customary international law. Rather the process to customary law depends on legal inference from or reasoning on states' practices in fact so that there is no definite process or procedures for establishing customary international law and objective criteria to identify it. It is more difficult to prove when and what states' practices have been recognized customary law that turns to bind on all members of world community. This paper is to explore, through theories and findings of ICJ, how the customary international law is formed to be effective as a binding norm of law.

In this paper, a conflict-avoided resource reservation scheme for UWB (Ultra Wide Band) WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) with D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control) is proposed. Since distributed characteristic of the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme may cause lots of conflicts, overall performances of the WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. In addition, once a DRP conflict occurs, only one of the DRP reservations involved in that DRP conflict maintains the reserved MASs, while the other DRP reservation must be terminated and DRP negotiations for them have to be re-started. Such DRP termination and renegotiation time delays due to the DRP conflicts can be a critical problem to the mobile devices transceiving real-time QoS traffic streams. Therefore, we propose a mechanism to avoid DRP conflicts by providing a kind of path diversity using relay transmission scheme and demonstrate its performance improvements via simulation results.

The dominant academic literature about trade agreements maintains that they are only about national terms-of-trade manipulation and not at all about purely political concerns. Non-academic economists, commentators, and diplomats by contrast think that trade agreements are all about political concerns. There are two substantive and important distinctions between the two views. i Practitioners maintain that policymakers care virtually not at all about the terms of trade or about trade-tax revenue. ii Practitioners, unlike academics, maintain that trade-agreement negotiations themselves change the underlying political economy. Observation of actual trade policy measures, though not conclusive, suggests that the practitioners are right and that the academics are wrong.

Electronic commerce has many advantages compared to the traditional way of doing business such as up to date information and rich service for less cost. There is a growing number of electronic commerce applications on the Internet. Using software agent technology, the market framework offers timesaving automation of auctions and flexibility through negotiations among the agents. In this research, we attempt to evaluate the performance of a negotiation decision function that considers the potential competitors in competitive market environment as well as that of a negotiation decision function that does not. For this evaluation, this study adopts the electronic marketplace as an application domain in which many sellers and buyers compete for limited resources in the marketplace.

This article analyzed the process of concluding the Korea-Russia IUU Fishing Prevention Agreement as a model case for distant water fisheries governance. The research studied co-operations for fisheries between Korea and Russia, the current status of live crabs landed in Korea through IUU fishing and Russia's political position on the IUU issue. Also this article reviewed a series of processes executed to achieve the bilateral agreement to prevent IUU fishing, including researches, intergovernmental negotiations, institutional improvements, public hearings and presentations. There were many things closely linked together such as international FAO-IUU prevention efforts, Russia's IUU fishing issue, Korean importers of Russian live crabs, their local governments and Korean snow-crab gill-net fishermen. These issues were resolved through reasonable reconciliations. This article wants to contribute to be used as a reference for other similar IUU fisheries cases.

Although the WTO has fulfilled several key tasks it was set up to do - providing periodic reviews of members' trade policies, resolving disputes, supporting negotiations - with the notable exceptions of the Trade Facilitation and Information Technology agreements, WTO members have not been able to negotiate new rules on "bread and butter" trade policies. The importance of doing so was illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic which saw widespread uncoordinated recourse to trade policy instruments. This paper highlights four reforms that would bolster the effectiveness of the WTO as a forum for trade cooperation: (1) improving collection and reporting of information on trade-related policies; (2) supporting analysis-informed deliberation to establish a common understanding of the need and scope for cooperation in specific policy areas; (3) putting in place a stronger multilateral governance framework for plurilateral cooperation between groups of WTO members; and (4) reestablishing an effective dispute settlement system.
