  • As the Trump administration withdraws the Paris Climate Agreement and shows its antipathy toward free trade, the U.S.'s soft power is most likely to weaken and its behaviors could be perceived as acts to surrender the U.S. hegemonic leadership in the world stage. Hegemonic stability theory notes that the existence of a hegemonic power contributes to international stability in the sense that it provides international public goods. A lack of the U.S's leadership in international politics, however, could be recognized as its denial of a hegemonic status. Is it intentional or accidental? The U.S's denial of hegemonic roles is the byproduct of the Trump administration's "American First" policy, not the showcase of its intention to transit hegemony to others. What is noteworthy is that China targets a niche market of hegemony as the U.S. denies its roles as the international leader. Put it another way, China attempts to ride hegemony for free when the U.S. denies its hegemonic roles accidentally. Faced with a niche market of hegemony, China has begun to accelerate its national strategy to make "Chinese Dream" come true. To that end, China promised again to keep the Paris Climate Agreement and attempts to play more active its roles in Shanghai Cooperation Organization(SCO), Asia Infra Investment Bank(AIIB), and "One Belt, One Road". Despite all these efforts, the U.S. is most likely to withdraw its denial of hegemony any time soon. The U.S's resumption of Freedom of Navigation Operations(FONOPs) could be a precursor of the return to a hegemonic power's willingness. In this vein, it is noteworthy that the South China Sea serves as a quasi-war zone for hegemonic conflict.

  • 원산지란 국제간의 교역에서 다루어지고 있는 모든 물품에 대한 국적을 나타내는 규정으로서 각국은 원산지 규정을 법 또는 제도로서 운영관리하며 산업재산권 보호차원에서 접근하고 있다. 최근 경제지도를 확대하기 위한 일환으로 확산되고 있는 FTA 협정에서 원산지규정은 매우 복잡한 절차와 이해를 필요로 하는 분야로 국가 간 협상의 최대 쟁점이 되고 있으며 우리나라의 경우 한 칠레 FTA를 시작으로 동시다발적으로 추진된 FTA 협정에서 원산지 기준은 각 협정별 차이로 인해 일관성이 결여되고 국가 간 협상이 쉽지 않은 분야이다. 특히 농업부문의 원산지 기준은 다른 재화와는 다른 농산물의 특성이 반영되어야 하며, 각 품목별 특성을 고려해야하는 분야이다. 기 체결된 협정문에서 다루어진 원산지 기준에 대한 충분한 검토와 품목별 비교를 통해 향후 추진되고 있는 FTA 협정체결과정에서 농업부문에 적용할 수 있는 시사점을 제공하는 것은 매우 큰 의미가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기체결 FTA 협정에서 농업부문의 원산지결정 기준에 대하여 칠레, 미국, ASEAN 그리고 EU와의 FTA 협정을 중심으로 검토하고 각각의 특징을 분석하여 향후 추진되는 FTA에서 활용될 수 있는 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

  • This study aims to analyze the main features of Mongolian arbitration system compared with Korean Arbitration Law which was revised under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Model Law. On the basis of this comparative study, certain differences are suggested: First, the environment of Mongolian arbitration is still insufficient in terms of its operation and usage at the international level. Second, the Mongol National Arbitration Court has established Ad-hoc Arbitration Rules and has promoted Ad-hoc Arbitration although it is an institutional arbitration organization. Third, the arbitration objects are defined as the types of tangible and intangible assets in Mongolia which are different from those of the Korean Arbitration Law. Accordingly, court and officer disputes, family disputes, labor-management relations, and criminal matters are covered by the arbitration objects. Fourth, Mongol Arbitration Law specifies the following persons disqualified for arbitrator appointment: the member of the Constitutional Court, judge, procurator, inquiry officer, investigator, court decision enforcement officer, attorney, or notary who has previously rendered legal service to any party of the disputes, and any officials who are prohibited by laws to be engaged in positions above the scope of their duties. Fifth, the arbitrator selection and appointment criteria should be documented, and the arbitrator should have the ability to resolve the disputes independently and fairly and achieve concord from both parties. Sixth, if there is no agreement between the parties, the arbitration language should be Mongolian, and the arbitral tribunal has no power to decide on it. Seventh, despite the agreement for a documentary hearing between the parties, there should be provided opportunities for an oral hearing if either of the parties requires it. Eighth, if the parties do not understand the language of the arbitration, the parties can directly ask the translation service. They should also keep secrets in the process of arbitration. Ninth, the cancellation of arbitral award is allowed by the application of the parties, not by the authority of the court. Except for the nine differences above, the Mongolian arbitration system is similar to that of the Korean Arbitration Law. This paper serves to contribute to the furtherance in trade relationship between Mongolia and Korea after the rapid and efficient resolution of disputes.

  • This study aimed to review the reorganization of fisheries and the future tasks in accordance with the establishment of new fishery order in the Northeast Asian Seas. As the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which recognized the sovereign rights of Coastal States in a 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ), entered into force in 1994, the three countries of Korea, China and Japan ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1996 and started negotiations to establish a new fishery order consistent with the EEZ system. However, a conflict of interest occurred because of differences in fisheries between countries, negotiations many times have proceeded, resulting in the signing of fishery agreement between China and Japan in 1997, Korea and Japan in 1998, and Korea and China in 2000. Each fishery arrangement consists of a dual system of EEZ and provisional waters (middle waters, provisional waters). The two countries are engaged in mutual fishing based on coastal states in EEZ, and in the fishing operation under the principle of flag state in provisional waters. There are overlapping or ambiguous jurisdictions in the intermediate waters and provisional waters that are jointly available to both fisheries. The presence of these seas is a challenge to the establishment of a reasonable international fisheries management system for the entire Northeast Asian Seas. In this context, the challenges of the reorganization of the new fisheries order are as follows: 1) conversion to a fishery order for coexistence of fisheries, 2) expansion to an international fishery management system, and 3) establishment of a multilateral fishery cooperation system. Although the jurisdiction of their own waters has been expanded through the establishment of EEZ according to new fishery order, the need for mutual cooperation grows when considering the movement and migration of fishery resources, fishery management, fish consumption and trade. In addition to the fisheries cooperation between the governments, it is also necessary to revitalize the civil cooperation focused on fishermen who exploit fishing grounds together.

  • 블록체인 기술 핵심은 이중지불에 대한 합의 문제를 해결하는 것이며 이를 위해 이용되고 있는 알고리즘인 PoW, PoS 및 DPoS에 대하여 살펴보았다. PoW인 작업증명은 스팸 전자 메일을 보내거나 서비스 거부(Denial of service, DoS) 공격을 시작하는 등 컴퓨팅 능력의 사소하거나 악의적인 사용을 막기 위해 실현 가능한 노력을 필요로 하는 합의 시스템이다. PoS인 지분증명은 작업증명(PoW) 알고리즘의 에너지 낭비뿐만 아니라 Nothing at stake 문제를 해결하기 위해 만들어졌으며, 계산능력이 아닌 화폐 보유량에 따라 각 노드의 합의 결정권이 정해진다. DPoS는 분산 네트워크를 통해 소수의 권한을 가진 사용자들이 거래 합의를 유지하는 것으로, PoS는 모든 사용자에게 합의 권한을 가지는 것과 달리 DPos는 합의 권한을 소수의 대표자에게 제공 한다는 것이다. 즉 PoS가 직접 민주주의라면 DPoS는 간접민주주의이다. 본 내용은 블록체인 합의 알고리즘에 대한 연구를 통하여 관련 분야의 지속적인 발달에 기여하고자 한다.

  • As Korea has reached a free trade agreement with the United States of America, it is required to provide an appropriate procedure to ".kr" domain name disputes based on the principles established in the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy(UDRP). Currently, Internet address Dispute Resolution Committee(IDRC) established under Article 16 of the Act on Internet Address Resources provides the dispute resolution proceedings to resolve ".kr" domain name disputes. While the IDRC's proceeding is similar to the UDRP administrative proceeding in procedural aspects, the Domain Name Dispute Mediation Policy that is established by the IDRC and that applies to disputes involving ".kr" domain names is very different from the UDRP for generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) in substantial aspects. Under the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement(KORUS FTA), it is expected that either the Domain Name Dispute Mediation Policy to be amended to adopt the UDRP or the IDRC to examine the Domain Name Dispute Mediation Policy in order to harmonize it with the principles established in the UDRP. It is a common practice of cybersquatters to warehouse a number of domain names without any active use of these domain names after their registration. The Domain Name Dispute Mediation Policy provides that the complainant may request to transfer or delete the registration of the disputed domain name if the registrant registered, holds or uses the disputed domain name in bad faith. This provision lifts the complainant's burden of proof to show the respondent's bad faith because the complainant is only required to prove one of the three bad faiths which are registration in bad faith, holding in bad faith, or use in bad faith. The aforementioned resolution procedure is different from the UDRP regime which requires the complainant, in compliance with paragraph 4(b) of the UDRP, to prove that the disputed domain name has been registered in bad faith and is being used in bad faith. Therefore, the complainant carries heavy burden of proof under the UDRP. The IDRC should deny the complaint if the respondent has legitimate rights or interests in the domain names. Under the UDRP, the complainant must show that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The UDRP sets out three illustrative circumstances, any one of which if proved by the respondent, shall be evidence of the respondent's rights to or legitimate interests in the domain name. As the Domain Name Dispute Mediation Policy provides only a general provision regarding the respondent's legitimate rights or interests, the respondent can be placed in a very week foundation to be protected under the Policy. It is therefore recommended for the IDRC to adopt the three UDRP circumstances to guide how the respondent can demonstrate his/her legitimate rights or interests in the disputed domain name. In accordance with the KORUS FTA, the Korean Government is required to provide online publication to a reliable and accurate database of contact information concerning domain name registrants. Cybersquatters often provide inaccurate contact information or willfully conceal their identity to avoid objection by trademark owners. It may cause unnecessary and unwarranted delay of the administrative proceedings. The respondent may loss the opportunity to assert his/her rights or legitimate interests in the domain name due to inability to submit the response effectively and timely. The respondent could breach a registration agreement with a registrar which requires the registrant to submit and update accurate contact information. The respondent who is reluctant to disclose his/her contact information on the Internet citing for privacy rights and protection. This is however debatable as the respondent may use the proxy registration service provided by the registrar to protect the respondent's privacy.

  • This study focuses on analyzing the potentiality of economic integration and the changes in logistics circumstances in Northeast Asia. So far as the changes in logistics circumstances in it, it is emphasized a complex transport system by sea and by land, according to the connection with the Railroad of South-North in Korean Peninsula and the Railroad of the Continent of Siberia. It first considers the propriety of economic integration among Korea, China and Japan in Northeast Asia. The first stage of the economic integration in Northeast Asia means it is started from contracting of FTA(Free Trade Agreement) which just agreed at the Summit Conference among Korea, China and Japan in ASEAN+3(Korea China. Japan). At that time, the Summit Conference between the three countries have agreed to study on the propriety of FTA charging by own country's research organization. At first China has been hesitated to join with FTA in spite of high growth in his economy, because the time is not yet for it. After all, China also decided himself to participate to FTA together with Korea and Japan by reacted to the stimulus at the conference atmosphere between every country of ASEAN. The discussion on the changes in logistics circumstances also is needed to deal simultaneously with a situation in the economic integration in Northeast Asia. It is worthy to be paid our attention to the restoration of the Railroad of South-North in Korean Peninsula, which was disconnected for a long time from the dispute between South Korea and North Korea. Therefore, it needs to be investigated together with the movement of economic integration in Northeast Asia. The reaction on the restoration of the Railroad of South-North in Korean Peninsula is not only limited to the transport of trade cargo between South Korea and North Korea, but also it is reached to all of Northeast Asia, so far as to all of the area of Russia, Europe, and the other neighbor countries. Because this railroad is connected with the Railroad of the Continent of Siberia. The transport of trade cargo in Northeast Asia have been mostly depended upon the transport by sea until now. However, it would be divided into the transport by sea as well as by land from now. As its economic effect, the restoration of the Railroad of South-North in Korean Peninsula could be not only contributed to reduce the cost of logistics within South Korea and North Korea, but also within or without in Northeast Asia, Russia, and Europe. Consequently, it could be improved the power of international competitiveness of goods in Northeast Asia, according to the formation of a complex transport system together with the transport by sea and by land.

  • 우루과이 라운드(UR)가 타결되어 농산물시장이 개방되면 현재 수입규제품목인 밤의 국내 재배농가들은 가격경쟁력에서 우위에 있는 외국산림산물(外國產林產物)의 대량수입으로 피해가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 수입개방의 충격을 완화하고 이들 부문에 대한 UR 협상전략을 수립하기 위하여는 국내 밤시장구조(市場構造)를 규명(糾明)하고 생산감소액을 예측하는 것이 필수적이라 하겠다. 이 연구에서는 계량경제학적(計量經濟學的) 방법을 사용하여 국내 밤시장의 수급모형(需給模型)을 추정하고, 이를 이용하여 시나리오별로 국내재배농가에 미치는 파급영향을 예측하였다. 국내재배농가의 피해액을 추정하기 위하여 밤시장이 관세화(關稅化)를 통해 개방되며, 1992년부터 2001년까지 10년동안 관세화율 감축폭을 30%, 40%, 50%, 90%로 하는 4가지 시나리오를 상정하였다. 그 결과 관세화율(關稅化率) 30% 감축시키는 경우 생산감소액은 145억원으로 추정되었고, 관세화율(關稅化率)을 40% 감축할 경우는 189억원으로 감소하고 50% 감축할 경우 생산감소액은 240억원, 관세화율(關稅化率)을 90%에서 감축하는 경우는 254억원으로 추정되었다.

  • 본 논문은 전자무역거래의 환경하에서 활용될 수 있는 전자결제시스템의 유형과 현재 제공되고 있는 국제전자결제시스템의 활용상의 문제점을 살펴 보고 전자무역을 활성화할 수 있는 전자결제시스템의 발전방안을 모색하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 현재 전자무역거래에서 활용될 수 있는 전자결제시스템은 전자화폐(electronic cash), 전자수표(electronic check), 전자자금이체(electronic fund transfer), 트레이드카드(tradecard) 및 스위프트 시스템에 의한 전자신용장(electronic L/C by SWIFT system) 등이 있다. 하지만 이들에 대한 전자결제시스템의 보안성, 안정성 및 연동성을 포함하는 제도와 인프라가 제대로 구축되고 있지 않아 사용하는데 한계성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 아직 정착되고 있지 못한 국제전자결제시스템의 발전을 위해서는 정보보안기술과 인증시스템의 구축이 필요하고, 걸제서류가 전자문서로 교환될 수 있도록 해야 한다. 또한 스위프트시스템의 네트워크를 스위프트넷에 의하여 모든 당사자간에 연동시켜 안정성 있게 운용되어야 하고 기업간 거래를 위한 전자신용장을 정착시켜야 한다. 이와 더불어 전자결제와 관련된 법적${\cdot}$제도적인 국내외 인프라를 구축하여 국제전자결제시스템의 통합적 지침을 제공할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.
