Economic cooperationDownloadContentSummaryThe rapprochement between Korea and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s unveiled the Soviet Union to Koreans for the first time in decades. The initial excitement generated in Korea by this tremendous opportunity was soon replaced by high expectations of economic cooperation with the Soviet Union.
However, the disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, as well as the political instabilities and economic deterioration of the Russian economy that followed, constituted very serious obstacles to the further development of the economic cooperation between Korea and Russia. In addition, the fact that Russia was unable to repay Korean loans made the Korean public very skeptical as to whether economic cooperation with Russia was in Korea's best interests.
However, the long-term outlook of Korea-Russian economic cooperation is very bright due to its great potential. Furthermore, despite the uncertainties of Russian politico-economic instability, the short-term prospects for Korea-Russian economic cooperation also look promising, mainly due to the well-established basic frameworks for bilateral economic cooperation that have been created in the past several years.
The purpose of this paper is to first make a comprehensive analysis of the Russian development strategy of the Far East then deduce specific business opportunities and methods of cooperation on territorial development between Korea and Russia. -

Technical cooperationDownloadContentSummaryJapan's technology rendered in its industrial and economic development has attracted the attention of developed, semi-developed and underdeveloped countries.
Japan succeeded in promoting the domestic industry and raising its own technology development by introducing, assimilating and improving upon the technology of advanced nations. In addition, after a degree of technical independence, Japan has steadily attempted to transfer and export its technology to other countries.
This report estimates that since the 1960s, Japan's technology transfer toward Asian nations has contributed to substantial economic development of Asian nations. However, there has been criticism about the form and level of Japan's technology transfer.
Following the principal axis of the U.S. and Japan, Korea has concentrated on technical imports for the assembly and processing industry, neglecting its own technology development. Therefore, since 1990, Korea has lost its international competitiveness in the world market.
Accordingly, the objective of this report is to seek strategic ways for Korea to learn from Japan and break the technical deadlock, becoming an advanced welfare country in the 21st century. -

DownloadContentSummaryThe importance of technology has been recently recognized widely as an impetus of industrial development.Most countries and companies can see the necessity of protecting information and communication such as computer software, integrated semiconductor circuits, databases and up-to-date technology industries such as biotechnology, aerospace and aviation.
There is therefore an urgent need for improved intellectual property rights and a facilitating legal and institutional framework. As the relative importance of developing nations are working to remove the free-rider problem, especially for their accumulated science and technology.The World Intellectual Property Organization and GATT have progressed in discussions to mediate trade-offs between the owners and users of property rights and to consolidate an intellectual property rights system. The Uruguay Round and the TRIPs agreement have been the fruit of the efforts for the internationalization and standardization of intellectual property right.
Accordingly, this report suggests that by strengthening intellectual property rights, Korea should follow international trends and evolve from a technology importer into technology creator. -
