Abstract

With the flow of globalization, world aviation markets are showing growing trends toward liberalization, deregulation, and privatization. At the same time, also apparent is a strong trend toward regionalism on aviation markets to realize open skies at the regional level. This research examines the recent trend of regionalism in the world aviation market from a political economic perspective, taking a single European aviation market as an example. The results show that the creation of a single European aviation market is the EU's strategic response against the US to enhance the European aviation industry's competitiveness. More specifically, the results show that the European countries are creating a single European aviation market in order to stand against the US' so-called 'divide and nile policy' and 'encirclement strategy' and to make their airliners to have competitive advantages over the US airliners on the lucrative North-Atlantic air routes. Recently, the single European aviation market is expanding by including the Mediterranean and Balkan states to pursue Pan European aviation cooperation and to develop European Common Aviation Area so that it can continuously enhance its negotiating leverage against external markets. The results imply that it is urgent for the Northeast Asian countries to create their own regional aviation bloc to develop their aviation industry and to increase their negotiating power against external countries.

세계항공시장은 최근 세계화의 흐름속에서 자유화. 규제완화, 민영화 추세에 있으며. 항공자유화를 지역적 단위에서 실현하는 지역블록화 현상이 뚜렷해지고 있다. 본 연구는 세계항공시장의 지역블록화 현상과 그 배후에 작용하고 있는 정치경제학적인 메카니즘을 유럽 단일항공시장 형성을 중심으로 고찰한다. 연구결과 유럽 단일항공시장 형성은 미국이라는 거대한 항공시장의 역내 자유화와 이를 바탕으로 한 미국중심의 범세계적 항공자유화 네트워크 구축에 대응하여 유럽 항공산업의 대미경쟁력 제고를 위한 전략적 고려의 산물이라는 것을 보여 준다. 보다 구체적으로 유럽 단일항공시장은 미국의 유럽 항공산업에 대한 분리지배 및 포위전략에 맞서 유럽항공사들이 세계최대의 항공노선인 북대서양 노선에서 미국항공사들과 보다 효율적으로 경쟁할 수 있도록 하기 위한 유럽연합 차원의 전략적 대응이라는 현상을 보여준다. 최근 유럽 단일항공시장은 주변의 지중해연안국가 및 발칸국가들까지 편입시킴으로써 범유럽항공협력의 지속적인 추진과 유럽공동항공지역의 확대 및 심화를 통해 향후 역외국가와의 교섭에 있어 협상 레버리지를 더욱 높여 나가려는 추세에 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 우리나라를 포함한 동북아 지역도 항공부문의 지역주의를 창설하는 것이 역내 항공산업의 발전 및 역외교섭력 제고면에서 시급하다는 것을 시사한다.
