SummarySince Korea joined GATT in 1967, it successfully pursued strong export-oriented economic policies until the late 1970's. During this period, Korea maintained an unprecedentedly high economic growth rate under high tariffs and various non-tariff protective measures allowed to it because of its status as a developing country suffering from a large trade deficit.
The ultimate goal of the anti-dumping system is to correct unfair foreign trade practices and relieve the domestic industry's injury in cases where material injury or a threat of material injury is posed by foreign dumping practices. It is, however, noteworthy that the system is strictly restrained in its use under provisions approved by GATT, and, hence, the misuse of the system will certainly result in disputes with trading partners. In this regard, it is extremely important for all the countries to guarantee four basic requirements of the system-transparency, fairness, efficiency, and specialty-in enforcing the national anti-dumping practices.
This paper reviews the whole history of Korea's anti-dumping system and practices and suggests some lessons on Anti-dumping Regulations of GATT and Advanced Countries. -

Summary and Conclusions 〈References〉SummaryThis paper tries to briefly examine the German experiences with unification, especially the integration of two different economic systems and derive implications for the coming reunification of the two countries in the Korean peninsula. It is organized as follows. In section 2, current economic performances and future prospects of the united German economy are discussed, and main economic policy measures practiced after GEMSU are reviewed. Here, also, the activities of the Treuhandanstalt, which is a government trust engaged in privatizing the formerly state-owned properties, will be introduced. Section 3 presents a simple model of system transformation that is developed based on the German experiences and could be used for the Korean case. Here, the effects on the integration process of GEMSU will be discussed briefly. In Section 4, implications on the Korean unification of German experiences with unification will be derived based upon the discussions so far. The paper ends with a summary of results and concluding remarks in section 5. -

Economic integration, Trade structureDownloadContentSummaryThe European Community (EC), which completely integrated from 1985 to 1992, is preparing to become the largest single international market.
If the EC intra-market is liberalized, other countries, including Korea, will make profit. However, there is expected to be fierce competition between countries that are part of the EC and the rest of the world, as the EC integration will benefit member countries before transferring profits to other regions. Non-member countries have argued that EC integration may encourage Europe to fortify, so they have sought strategic ways to advance into the EC market. However, Korea has only taken basic countermeasures toward EC market integration.
Accordingly, this study analyzes Korea's exports to the EU and predicts the effects of market integration on the Korean economy. -
