Antagonism between the Youngnam and Honam regions of Korea as expressed by adolescents and their parents was studied in 167 parent-adolescent pairs (total 334) of Youngnam residents. Adolescents were middle school students 71 (42.5%) and high school students 96 (57.5%), 90 boys (53.9%), 77 girls (46.1%). The instruments were subjects' self-reported social distance and stereotypes. Data were analyzed by t-test, paired t-test, Pearson's Correlation, and hierarchical regression. Major findings were that : (1) adolescents' social distance was positively associated with adolescent and parent negative stereotypes. (2) Adolescent positive/negative stereotypes were positively associated with parent positive/negative stereotypes. (3) Adolescent negative stereotypes exerted an indirect effect on social distance, controlled by parents' negative stereotypes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the evaluation of regional antagonism in children and adolescents in Youngnam and Honam region. There were 684 subjects included in this study from three ages in the Youngnam and Honam regions: 12.8 years(6th grade, n=208), 14.8 years(8th grade, n=211), and 16.9 years(10th grade, n=265). Of the 684 subject, 357(53.3%) were boys and 327(47.8%) were girls. The instruments consisted of subjects' self-reported social distance, stereotype, and prejudice. The data were analyzed by frequencies, t-test, one-way ANOVA and the $Scheff\'{e}$ test. Major findings were as follows: The mean score of the out-group stereotype was greater than the median, so the in-group preference was greater than the out-group exclusion. The in-group stereotype was different based on the age and the sex. The 6th and 8th graders and the boys were higher than 10th and the girls. The prejudice was different based on the lesion. The social distance was different based on the age and the region.

Network governance can be defined as collaborative process to develop a new socio-political order through civil society centered networking with government and market, and the term 'collaborative governance' can be used in a sense that the basis of governance is collaborative process. In particular, it can be stressed that collaborative governance between regions need double collaborative processes, that is, collaboration between local governments and collaboration between local government and local civil society within a region. Yet, the collaboration as a core element of collaborative governance should not be seen as a pure normativity presupposing confidence and reciprocity, but as a strategy based on competition and antagonism. The normativity implied in the concept of collaborative governance may not realized in actual process, and tends to be mobilized as a rationale for justifying neoliberal strategies. In order to overcome such limits of collaborative governance, the concept of collaborative governance should be reconstructed. This paper suggests that collaborative governance can be seen as hegemonic governing process in a Gramcian sense operating in the government plus civil society, and that, radicalizing Ostrom's concept, it also can be seen as a governing process producing polycentricity by self-regulating subjects. Finally, collaborative governance between regions needs expansion of material basis for economic complementarity and construction of infrastructure as well as a discursive process in order to enhance connectivity between them.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze a process of formation of an ethnic community in the global era, taking an example of foreign workers in Igok-Dong, Dalseo-gu, Taegu. Previous studies suggest that playing a role as a hub of culture, resources and ethnic networks an ethnic community becomes an imagined space where its members can feel "us". Through this imagined space, ethnic people communicate and exchange information with each other and establish transnational linkages between their origin and destination countries or the third countries. In my research in Igok-Dong it was observed that ethnic shops had become the centers of the community of foreign workers and helped them connect with their own ethnic people from wider areas than their residence. Partly because of such networks exclusively focused on their own ethnics, there was little connection developed between foreign workers and locals. A social distance between the two parties may turn into antagonism as the ethnic community grows in number. Since it is foreseen that demands for foreign workers will continue to rise in Igok-Dong it is necessary to seek ways to achieve a more inclusive and harmonious multi-ethnic society for both foreign workers and locals.
