Under a knowledge-based economy, regional innovation policies have been treated as important regional policies. In this paper, the author attempts to argue the possibilities and problems for regional innovation in Japan. For this purpose, the author has investigated the development of industry-academy-government collaboration in Ube City which has been designated as one of a number of knowledge cluster projects by the National Government. Ube City is a typical company town and the regional system had been characterized by the vertical relationship between a core company and it's subcontractors. Since the late 19905, the local national university has played an important role to promote cooperation with various types of enterprises, research institutions, and local governments. As such horizontal relationships have become more influential, it is necessary to overcome the gap in interest and knowledge base between the core company and the local university.

Korean economy has experienced a very rapid growth largely due to the change of the innovation system since the last half century. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 impacts the global economy as well as Korea's innovation system. In order to understand the influence of the shock to the Korean technological system, we have forecast the future of the system combining qualitative and quantitative techniques such as expert panel, cross impact analysis, and scenario planning. According to the results, we have identified 39 driving forces influencing the change of Korea's technological innovation system. Four scenarios have been suggested based on the predetermined factors and core uncertainties. In other words, uncertainties of emergence of the regions and global value chains generate four scenarios: regional growth, unstable hope, returning to the past, and regional conflicts. The 'regional growth' scenario is regarded as the most preferable, whereas the 'regional conflicts' scenario is unavoidable. In conclusion, we put forward some policy implications to boost the regional innovation system by exploiting the weakened global value chains in order to move on to the most preferable scenario away from the return to the past regime.

In this study, we analyzed the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of seven medicinal herbs. All extracts of the tested herbs, Euryale ferox Salisbury, Echinops setifer Iljin, Amomum cardamomum Linne, Tetrapanax papyriferus, Illicium verum Hook. f., Typha orientalis Presl, and Piper longum Linne, exhibited potent anti-oxidative activity as confirmed by DPPH radical scavenging capacity. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) production, in the RAW 264.7 cell line, was also ameliorated by all extracts' treatments in a dose dependent manner. NO suppressive activity originated from the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression by the extracts. Three extracts, E. ferox S., I. verum Hook. f., and P. longum L., possessed suppressive activity against, not only iNOS, but also cycloxygenase 2 (COX-2) protein expression. These three extracts may then serve as potential candidates for non steroidal analgesic inflammation drugs (NSAIDs). Furthermore, all extracts induced anti-oxidative enzyme, heme oxygenase 1, protein expression. Taken together, these results provide an important new insight into the fact that various medicinal herbs possess potent anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities and might be utilized as promising agents in the field of health products. Further studies for the identification of the active compounds from medicinal herbs are clearly needed.

급속한 경제성장의 시기에는 요소투입에 의한 성장정책과 성장의 지역적 분배에 기초한 지역개발정책이 가능하였다. 그러나 국가간 경쟁이 심화되고 불확실성의 증대로 성장의 원동력이 크게 약화된 시기에 이러한 모델은 이론적, 실용적 권위를 잃고 있다. 세계화된 경쟁적 환경과 불확실한 세계경제 변화에 신속하고 효율적으로 대처할 수 있는 내생적인 지역혁신역량 구축이 성장과 지역개발정책의 새로운 대안으로 등장하였다. 중앙집권적인 성장정책과 지역개발정책으로 수도권의 과밀화와 지방의 과소화 문제를 겪었던 프랑스는 지방의 내생적인 혁신역량 구축을 위해 지난 1970년대부터 단계적인 지역혁신체계 구축 정책을 실행해 오고 있다. 지방의 내생적인 혁신역량 구축을 위해 계획적인 지식창출과 지역개발을 동시에 추구해온 프랑스의 지역혁신체계의 구축 수단과 방식은 지역의 내생적인 혁신역량 강화와 지역간 불균형 문제를 해소하려는 정부의 정책에 많은 시사점을 제공한다.

지역혁신은 지역경제 성장의 동력으로 주목을 받아 왔다. 이에 따라 정부는 지역혁신시스템을 수립하기 위해 여러 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구는 지역혁신시스템의 유형을 분류하고 지역혁신 성과인 특허출원에 미치는 필요조건과 충분조건을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 대부분 기존 연구에서는 사례 중심 혹은 변수 중심 연구방법을 통해 지역혁신시스템의 유형을 분류하거나 지역혁신 효과를 분석하였다. 하지만 변수 중심 연구는 강력한 전제 조건을 가정하며, 사례 중심 연구는 주관적 해석에 의존하는 한계를 노정한다. 본 연구는 최근에 주목받는 fs/QCA를 활용하여 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 했다. 지역혁신시스템 이론을 바탕으로 지역혁신의 요소를 투입, 인프라, 네트워크로 구성하고, 이를 통해 16개의 지방자치단체의 지역혁신 유형을 분류하였다. 그 결과 8가지의 지역혁신 유형 중, 대부분의 지역이 높은 수준의 인프라를 갖춘 유형과 투입과 네트워크가 높은 유형으로 분류되었다. 또한 3가지 요소는 7가지 하위 변수로 분류되는데, 이를 활용하여 지역혁신의 성과인 높은 특허출원의 필요조건과 충분조건을 분석하였다. 그 결과 연구개발 인력과 유효특허가 특허출원의 필요조건으로 나타났으며, 연구개발비, 유효특허, 협동연구, IP예산, TLO가 높고, IP금융이 낮은 원인 조합의 배열이 특허출원을 일으키는 충분조건으로 나타났다. 따라서 지역혁신을 위해서 공공부문은 연구개발인력 양성을 위한 교육 부문에서의 제도적 지원이 필요하다. 또한 공공과 민간은 IP금융 활성화를 위한 노력도 중요하다.

Using various data derived from the regional innovation projects in the IT and BT-sectors within Chungbuk Province, this study tries to observe formation processes of network connecting structure and their spill-over effects. Considering the dynamic nature of key issues, it applies both social network analysis and causal loop methods. After a series of simulation exercises, we find that so-called extroverted regional innovation projects, that is, ones financially supported by the central government, reveal a higher tendency in the centrality, heavily depending on a handful of well reputed organizations. It is quite similar to the reinforcing mechanism, resulting in the rich-get-richer and the poor-get-poorer. Compared with the existing documents, nonetheless, it shows relatively weak in the mechanism strength, implying the fact that regional innovation projects have significantly contributed to ameliorating the unequal distribution of innovation organizations within Chungbuk Province. On the other hand, this study concludes that all the brokerage organizations related to the regional innovation projects have settled in Chungbuk Province. Whereas the Capital Region-based organizations present a higher tendency in the knowledge-network, it seems that the regional innovation projects have significantly contributed to upgrading direct and indirect competitiveness of the local organizations.

The 21st century is not only the knowledge-based society but also the unifie era for Korea. It implies that Korea should prepare for the unification, especially in the area of knowledge, science, and technology. Under this background, this paper deals with how we can prepare for the unification of South and North Korea in science and technology (S&T) area. There have been no sufficient theoretical studies in this area. This paper, therefore, argues that regional innovation system, which has been developed since the beginning of the 1990s, could be effectively applied to the S&T cooperation and unification between both Koreas. It argues that regional innovation systems can formulate sectoral innovation systems effectively, which lead to a competent national innovation system. According to this study, South and North Korean regions have complementary sectoral innovation systems that could effectively cooperate with each other. Such S&T cooperation could make a great contribution to the S&T integration between two Koreas in the future. This paper argues, therefore, that S&T cooperation between two Koreas should target the unification of South and North Korean regional innovation systems. This paper names it as the unified national innovation system.
