Abstract

Central Asia has great growth potential for cooperation as the Korean Official Development Assistance (ODA) program expands and diversifies. In the case of the forest sector, Korea's successful greening experience has attracted interest from countries in Central Asia. In particular, the depletion of the Aral Sea and a widespread environmental degradation should motivate regional cooperation as well as highlights the need to establish a multilateral cooperative system. The limitation of existing bilateral cooperation, which is the limitation of South-South cooperation, is underscored by the engagement of new donors or the multilateral cooperation and triangular cooperation of organizations is receiving new attention. In addition, Central Asia is suitable for implementing the basic concepts of triangular cooperation. Korea is able to make complementary regional agreements using friendly partnerships with Kazakhstan (the Emerging Donor) and Uzbekistan (the second South Korean Focus Country of ODA). To reinterpret the basic concept of triangular cooperation, three regional cooperation strategies for Central Asia are proposed in this study: windbreak forest development to guarantee resident settlement, resident income increase, and protection of the Aral Sea from further degradation.

우리나라의 ODA 사업 규모 확대와 다변화 전략에 따라 성장잠재력이 매우 큰 중앙아시아가 주목받고 있다. 또한 산림분야의 경우 우리나라의 성공적인 녹화경험에 관심을 표하며 협력을 요청하고 있다. 특히 중앙아시아가 직면한 환경이슈인 아랄해 고갈과 광범위한 황폐화의 해결은 지역협력이 전제되어야 하며 다자협력 체계 마련이 필요하다. 기존 양자협력의 한계, 특히 남남협력의 한계를 신흥 공여국이나 다자협력기구가 참여하여 보완하면서 삼각협력이 새롭게 주목받고 있는데, 삼각협력의 기본 개념을 적용하는 데 있어 중앙아시아는 매우 적합한 것으로 연구되었다. 우리나라는 신흥공여국인 카자흐스탄, 제2차 중점협력국인 우즈베키스탄과의 우호적인 파트너십을 활용하여 이들 국가와 함께 상호보완적인 지역협력이 가능하다. 기본적인 삼각협력의 개념을 재해석하여 중앙아시아 지역의 지역협력 전략을 다음 세 가지로 제시하였다. 첫째, 주민 정주권 보장을 위한 피복 및 방풍림 조성사업, 둘째, 주민소득 증진사업, 마지막으로 아랄해 황폐지 확대 방지를 위한 협력 사업이다.
