본 광역권별 경제력 비교분석은 정부의 지역경제정책에 대한 기초연구로서 콜드스타트(cold start)된 5+2광역경제권의 상이한 경제여건과 펀더멘털을 고찰하고 설정된 비교지표를 중심으로 전국 7대 광역권의 지역경제력을 비교 분석해 봄으로써 글로벌 경쟁력 확보 차원에서 자립적 광역경제권을 육성한다는 정부의 지역경제정책의 타당성과 향후 광역경제권의 정책방향을 고찰하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 경제력지수 비교결과, 수도권의 경제력지수가 절대 우위에 있는 반면 강원권, 호남권, 제주권은 상대적 열위상태인 것으로 조사되었다. 지역의 특성과 경제적 펀더멘털이 다르기 때문에 향후 지역발전 및 광역경제권 정책을 추진함에 있어서는 이를 고려한 세심한 배려와 발전계획 수립이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 정부는 지역경제여건을 감안한 광역경제권사업의 지역안배와 조정을 통하여 지역사업의 중복성 문제를 원천 차단함으로써 재정의 효율성을 제고시켜야 할 것이다. 또한 수요분석에 기초한 demand-based policy와 demand-pull policy, 지역낙후성을 감안하여 예산균등할(豫算均等割)정책보다는 비균등할 지원책을 탄력적으로 사용함으로써 지역균형발전을 도모하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

지역발전을 위해서는 부가가치 창출률이 높고 규모의 경제 및 집적의 경제를 극대화할 수 있는 지역경제시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다. 이러한 우리나라의 지역정책 과제를 세계은행이 지역발전의 관건으로 제시한 3D(density, distance, division)의 관점에서 논하였다. 참여정부의 국가균형발전정책을 논평하고, 광역경제권별 글로벌 경쟁력 강화를 핵심으로 하는 새 정부의 지역발전정책의 실효 있는 추진을 위한 전략과 정책과제를 제시하였다. 광역경제권 중추도시의 기능 강화, 중추도시-중소도시-농산어촌의 상호보완성 활용의 극대화, 시 도간 협력 장애요인의 제거가 필요하며, 광역경제권 간의 동반발전을 통한 국가적 결속의 강화도 중요한 과제이다.

Regionalism has become a liability in Korea, hampering national harmony and political stability. The regionalism finds its roots in several centuries back in history. The traditional regionalism was based on the provincial differences in cultural and social characteristics, and behavioral mannerism. Therefore, the traditional regionalism should be regarded as benign and common as in many other countries in the world. The modern version of Korean regionalism seems to be founded on the "discriminatory" treatments of Honam provinces in economic policy and the resultant regional economic disparity during the last three decades. Many believe that such "discriminatory" policy had been enforced during the period of the "third" and "fourth" republics under the influence of the key government officials and presidents form the Southeastern provinces. Since the early 80s, many public investment projects have found its home in the Honam region with the consideration of regional balance and more equitable distribution. This paper attempts to elucidate on various causes of regional disparity amplified during the period of industrialization, and also presents the economic indices which demonstrate the impacts of the policy in narrowing the economic disparity among the regions in recent years. The paper also clarifies the limits of regional economic policy in achieving regional. balance and consequently social integrity. The last part of the paper attempts to clarify the effective domain of regional policy and the new direction of regionalism.cy and the new direction of regionalism.

This paper argues that the formation of regional integration frameworks can be best understood as a dominant state's attempt to create a preferred regional framework in which it can exercise exclusive influence. In this context, it is important to observe not only which countries are included in a regional framework, but also which countries are excluded from it. For example, the distinct feature of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is its exclusion of China, and that of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is its exclusion of the United States (US). An exclusion of a particular country does not mean that the excluded country will perpetually remain outside the framework. In fact, TPP may someday include China, resulting from a policy of the US "engaging" or "socializing" China rather than "balancing" against it. However, the first step of such a policy is to establish a regional framework from which the target country of engagement is excluded.

Two mega-regional negotiations are changing the landscape of Asia Pacific trade policy: an Asian track centered on ASEAN (the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or RCEP), and a Trans-Pacific track centered on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) among 12 economies, including the United States, which Korea is expected to join. Modeling results suggest that both would generate substantial benefits for Korea and the global economy. From Korea's viewpoint, the agreements would establish new FTAs with China, Japan and smaller economies, improve the utilization of FTAs by permitting the regional cumulation of inputs, and help to upgrade some Korean FTAs to more rigorous standards. By participating in these agreements, Korea could also help to guide them toward inclusive, high-quality regional outcomes. As one of the region's most open and agile economies, Korea has a large stake in regional integration and would be well advised to pursue both tracks.

Decrease in Population and graying of rural area by industrialization and urbanization are gone continuously. This makes happened various rural problems and the differential of standard of living with is arising day by day. Government is unfolding rural supporting project to solve continuously these problems. Recent Projects which are choosing not top-down process by government leading but bottom-up process through village inhabitants' participation and expert consultant get positive estimation. But those have difficulties because the support is attained only in the beginning step not continuously and inhabitants' number by graying is decreasing. The Special Economic Zone for Regional Development Policy is new access that regulation can differ according to special quality of each area depending on Localization Age. Through this transfer the competence that can mitigate or reinforce various regulations according to special quality of area in local government. So, back and maintain activation systematically so that each area could be developed specially. The purpose of The Special Economic Zone for Regional Development Policy is the activation of regional economy through development that regional specific character is. And there is characteristic that local government plans and takes the lead in all project contents, government gives regulation benefit by appointing the special economic zone and do not support finance and various tax remissions. Through investigation of such new policy, I wish to recognize what long-term plan and method could be possible to success rural activation continuously.

This paper attempts to forecast regional economic changes and to analyze government polices for interregional balanced economic growth in case of Korea Reunification. It begins with be reunified at the year 2010. The model is largely neoclassical. Since the future of North Korea is unclear, two possible scenarios are presented. The paper projects economic growth of regions, specifically forecasting growth of regions, specifically forecasting GRDP, the number of migrants and the quantity of moving capital. The results obtained show that spatially unbalanced economic growth will take place in the reunified Korea through factor movement. Two polices including public capital provision policy and income subsidy policy are thus suggested and analyed.

2008년에 출범한 이명박 정부는 지난 정부와 다른 지역발전정책을 추구하고 있으며, 특히 국토의 성장 잠재력 극대화를 강조하고 3차원적 지역발전전략을 제시하고 있다. 이 연구는 신지역발전정책의 대표적 전략인 광역경제권 정책의 주요 내용과 추진 현황 및 성과를 검토하고, 또한 향후 발전과제를 조명해 보고자 한다. 광역경제권 정책이 3여년 밖에 지나지 않아 그 정책성과를 종합적으로 평가하는 데에는 한계가 있으나, 행정구역을 넘어서서 인접한 지자체들이 협력 연계한다면 지역 경쟁력을 높일 수 있다는 인식을 심어주고 있다. 이와 함께 당초 계획대로 광역경제권별 각종 투자사업은 비교적 원활하게 진행되고 있다. 광역경제권 정책이 향후 보다 큰 성공을 거두기 위해서는 각종 개발프로젝트의 내실 있는 발굴과 추진기구의 유기적 구축 그리고 산업계획의 효율적 추진 등이 필요하다.

Over the past few decades, globalization has been shifting economic power upward to transnational actors on the one hand, and downward to subnational or regional spaces on the other. This phenomenon has resulted in the centrality of territorially delimited subnational regions acting as critical loci of economic governance within a complex and globally distributed value chain of trade and service flows. Within this broader context of industrial restructuring are economic regions that span national borders in their collective assets. The paper focuses on investigating the economic competitiveness and productivity of cross-border (or binational) economic regions. Using the conceptual framework of economic clusters, an econometric model that measures proxies of geographic proximity of firms in the life sciences cluster, and a new binational economic model, the paper examines the key characteristics, potentials and constraints of economic competitiveness and productivity in a cross-border region comprising counties in Western New York and regional municipalities in Southern Ontario. The findings demonstrate the direct and indirect benefits of closer cross-border economic cooperation. The paper then concludes with some policy observations about leveraging cross-border economic clusters for strategic industrial cooperation.

This study revises current feasibility evaluation guideline for agricultural infrastructure improvement project considering recent changes in social and economic environment in rural area. We use an AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) approach to consider qualitative evaluation items in policy enforcement and balanced regional development as well as quantitative items in current economic analysis in the process of feasibility evaluation and decision making. The criteria system is composed of three level hierarchy. In the first level which consists of economic analysis, policy analysis, and regional development analysis, economic analysis was ranked top with relative weight of 0.45 and regional development analysis the lowest with 0.22. In the second level which consists of three evaluation items under policy analysis, consistency in policy enforcement, risk factors, and special evaluation factors, consistency in policy enforcement was ranked top. Finally, 13 detailed evaluation items in the third level were surveyed and ranked by using a comprehensive criticality vector. The result shows that the three most important evaluation items are 'degree of underdevelopment', 'spill-over effect of regional economy' and 'consistency with related planning and policy direction'.
