The purpose of this research is to explore and examine Korea’s future role and direction that Korea must take with regards to Official Development Assistance (ODA), at the global level. To search for Korea’s development cooperation plans, the research commences by clarifying international trend of ODA Policy; furthermore the policy and system of EU and experience of major EU donor countries are introduced and analyzed.
The amount of ODA for international development cooperation has gradually increased; the ratio of ODA/GNI in 2011 was 0.13%, in 2012 the ratio has increased to 0.15%, and the target is to reach 0.25% by 2015. Korea has achieved the development process in a short period and is presented as an emerging donor of ODA in international arena, though the absolute scale is small.
 Since Korea became a member of OECD DAC in 2010, Korea is planning to expand the scale of ODA as well as to improve ODA both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to advance the development policy. Hence constructing infrastructure and the strategy of development aid policy which are related to long-term vision of a nation’s development are presented as the basic task. Moreover Korea should search for improvements of ODA policy from two aspects: a) to establish ODA policy management system since Korea is still at the beginning stage as a donor country, and b) to arrange plans to actively cooperate with international community.
The recent international consensus agreed to increase the ratio of ODA/GNI by 0.7% however Korea’s current ODA scale does not even reach the average scale of OECD DAC which is 0.5%. Furthermore continuous increase of relatively early-planned ODA budget is essential. Thus at this point, the task establishing the basis of policy and ODA support system as well as enhancing its efficiency are immediately requested.
Case studies of advanced donor countries’ development cooperation have already been introduced and organized in many research papers however this research delves into each different characteristics of European countries, divided into several groups; moreover it examines the joint ODA policy of EU that is shared between European countries, to show how Korea should arrange international cooperation plans.
Since Europe has many experiences and knowledge gained from vast years of ODA enforcement, Europe’s ODA system analysis and policy management will be utilized as a guide for Korea to set up concrete directions of aid policy and improvements that are necessary. Unlike other continents, Europe had already constructed aid and support related network with recipient countries, tangible and intangible infrastructure since colonial period. Moreover through along history, Europe has gone through many trials and errors which led to continuous effort to make an improvement and thus built know-hows. As Korea is at a very beginning stage of ODA policy, Europe can provide many issues and answers from their experience; hence we expect to minimize trial and error.
Another urgent task for Korea is measures for cooperation with international aid community. As is generally known, Millennium Development Goal (UN MDG) –the Millennium Declaration- was adopted by the UN in 2000. The Declaration is based on the international consensus that rather than one-off or short-term aid project, a medium and long term master plan should be the basis that satisfies the actual needs of recipient countries. In order to achieve such goal, systematic and comprehensive aid support is asked for instead of independent aid at individual-level by donor countries; thus the importance of mutual assistance and cooperation with international development organizations are emphasized. Since Korea is now an emerging donor, establishing aid model and policy direction is greatly needed. In addition, when we consider that donor countries have been closely cooperating with each other through various forms for the past ten years, Korea should recognize that developing measures for cooperation with international society is vital and urgent.
This book is composed of 11 chapters: 10 chapters including introduction and implication for Korea as a conclusion. Chapter 1 briefly explains the background of research, followed by the scope and structure.
Chapter 2 covers the development process of ODA in international society, its’ current status and trend analysis as well as individual characteristics of donor countries. Aid-related issues that are discussed in international organizations and academic circles are further examined and alternatives are proposed, along with direction of ODA policy development in international society. Through such analysis, we aim to understand the position of ODA policy adopted by EU and European countries and implication for Korea regarding possible policy direction.
 To a certain extent, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are outlines of European countries’ general aid policy. As mentioned before, although EU is the main aid agent it also reflects the member countries’ opinion towards aid, which places EU in unique position. At the same time EU plays a leading role along with USA as it suggests ‘standard’ for development aid policy, since EU represents the standpoint of the member countries.
 Furthermore EU is responsible for adjustment of joint policy between member countries hence it is helpful to understand the general flow and direction of each different policy. EU is also consistently transforming according to the development of international aid policy and EU’s expanding authority due to deepening of economic integration. From this aspect we can say that EU’s ODA management system and policy direction will have important implications for Korea’s ODA policy establishment.
Chapter 4, EU’s Green ODA Policy is also another topic that is related to general European donors’ position. Sustainable development is the new paradigm in international arena and is recently stated as an important target in relation to ODA. When considering aid, EU and member countries are increasing their portion in environment, conservation of nature, actions against climate change and protection of living things, etc.
From the recipients’ point of view, although they agree to such principles it is difficult for them to play an active role as they have a fixed idea of trade-off between environment and growth; thus the recipients show reservations when it comes to actual operation of policy. Considering such aspect, Green Growth concept as a strategy in pursuit of growth proposed by the Korean government appears to be compelling.
 From Chapter 5 to Chapter 10, case study analysis of each country chosen by the research team is presented: Germany, France, UK, Sweden, Italy and Spain. European donors that are member countries of EU represent 55-60% of international development aid thus Europe is the most important donor area. The majority of European aid is conducted through seven main agents (EU and 6 member countries), which are the subject of this research. The common European acknowledgement is ‘diversity within a community’; it reflects common grounds of European countries but different views on history, foreign relations, understanding economy, culture and tradition. The characteristics of aid policy and its’ operation also differ thus analysis on individual country took place.
To conclude, after having analyzed each country’s aid policy, advantages and disadvantages of each aid system, Chapter 11 gives implications for Korea and possible policy proposals. As an emerging donor, Korea does not have enough experience or know-hows in aid; furthermore Korea still lacks concrete aid system and has somewhat abstruse policy direction therefore it is necessary to establish clear and systematic policy as soon as possible. Korea should utilize its’ position as a new-comer and adopt advanced donors’ advantages whilst complement their disadvantages so that it can be applied to Korea’s conditions.
