Economic CooperationDownloadContentSummarySince its inception in 1989, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) suggested the possibility for Asia-Pacific economic cooperation at the fifth summit in Seattle, USA, in 1993.
APEC Leaders' meetings has discussed a broad vision of regional free trade and investment, and produced institutional ground pledging concerted efforts for trade liberalization, the encouragement of technology transfer and investment by establishing officially Committee on Trade and Investment.
APEC adopted the principle of open regionalism, namely, regional integration without trade discrimination against other economies. This open regionalism contrasts sharply with the approach taken in most regional cooperation agreement including the European Union (EU) and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
APEC is expected to play a leading role in intra-regional economic cooperation and the creation of a new world economic order based on the multilateral trading system. -

Technical CooperationDownloadContentSummaryThis study analyzes technological cooperation between Korea and Japan and outlines the desirable path for technological cooperation of the 21st country.
The Japanese industry is experiencing a lull in trade for now, heading toward a recession. This change means that the times of mass-producing cars, electric appliances and computers are at an end.
The major findings of the paper can be summarized as follows: Demand has shrunk due to the sudden development; Japan's international competitiveness is weakened due to the high yen; With environment pollution on the rise globally, there are warning signs on mass production and mass consumption in the long-term. Technological progress in terms of society is making problems, with Japan is faced with social issues such as transport, refuse disposal in urban, environment, city planning, the labor shortage, education, medical treatment and welfare. Accordingly, Korea and Japan should encourage closer cooperation and complete their role and responsibility for the desirable industrialization of ASEAN nations. -

Trade PolicyDownloadContentSummarySince the Uruguay Round agreement and the launching of the EEA and NAFTA, the world economy has advanced into a bloc-oriented competitive system based on the size and range of economy. These blocs contribute to integration in the service market and liberalize transactions in labor, capital and technology.
Accounting for 70 percent of world market share, economic blocs in Europe and North America are expected to impose a heavy burden on the Korean economy. With such changes in the world trade environment, China has been rising as another threat to Korea's export. China's export market has grown dramatically due to the drastic forms made in policies on foreign trade, export drive, wages and labor.
China's export market focuses on the labor-intensive light industry for the United States, Japan, Europe and Southeast Asia, which is Korea's principal market.
This paper implies that the increase in Chinese exports will make inroads into the Korean market. This paper suggests that China's export competitiveness compared with Korea may increase not only in terms of price, but also in terms of quality.
