It is common that several kind of claims between the parties are arising in carrying out international construction works. Therefore, it is very important for them to settle the claims effectively in order to get expected profits and purposes in international construction works. In this article, the author have studied on the procedures and contents on the settlement of claims between the parties based on the FIDIC contracts for major works which are newly prepared in 1999 by FIDIC. Especially, the arbitration clause in the FIDIC contracts for major works attempts to deal with a number of complex contractual and legal matters, sometimes in a very harsh way, e.g. by cutting off a party's rights. It has never been an easy clause to understand or to observe. Nevertheless, the author hopes he has been able in this article to clarify for the reader some of the issues raised by it. I'd like to suggest that our overseas construction companies refer to the FIDIC contracts for major works(especially article 20 : claims, disputes and arbitration) directly or indirectly for their contract of international construction works with overseas employers.

Northeast Asian economies have achieved high levels of growth due to a stable economic environments and economic policy reforms for free trade. As Northeast Asia has been risen as big bloc in the world and in the future in case free trade agreement could be concluded, trade volume could be increased dramatically. And it is evident that disputes will be increased in Northeast Asian economic bloc. Arbitration must be popular in resolving international commercial disputes in Northeast Asian bloc in order to increase the volume of intra-trade in the bloc. Through arbitration, the parties can have full autonomy and can resolve disputes independently, impartially and without delay. But in order for the parties to make use of arbitration in the bloc, they must be fully aware of the arbitration laws of Northeast Asian nations in view of the similarity and difference of the laws. Therefore, this paper deals with arbitral award in Northeast Asian Nations' arbitration laws in view of comparative law.

East Asia has played an important role in the economic and social development in the Asian pacific region and in the global arena. In the region the impact of companies centralizing their logistics activities around a few distribution centers has already led some leading ports such as Singapore, Hong Kong to transform and expand their functions and business activities to provide port users with value added logistics services. Other ports in the region also have an important part to play in the total logistics Chain. In these environments, the maritime activities of Jang BoGo, who was the maritime king of the commercial maritime empire in East Asia in the 9th century, give many implications to the international logistics network strategy that Korea has to take in order to become a power of International Logistics. Though the trading and economic environments at that time may be quite different from today, the super-national maritime management pattern that Jang Bo-go, founder of the Northeast Asian maritime trading kingdom devised, gives us many implications in the global trading and economic environments, in the respects of overseas direct investment and international logistics. Accordingly, the paper aims to examine the establishment of hub port in Northeast Asia, modelled after the maritime network management strategy of Jang BoGo.

This research can be summarized as follows: a. It provides the means how to manage risks in the electronic commerce with a focus on the insurance by which to transfer the risks to the third person. b. Since there are few preceding studies on the insurance of electronic commerce, further studies on the insurance stipulations about coverage and exclusions are needed. c. The risks in the electronic commerce are critical to the businessmen and the insurance can protect them from the perils and activate the electronic commerce. d. Inter-governmental and inter-organizational cooperations are needed to enact the unified international insurance clause. Researches on the electronic insurance should be vitalized for more objective analysis. A positive study needs a close survey on the individual and the business concerned, the insurance company, and the policy authorities, which will make it possible to adjust the coverage and exclusion and assess an optimum insurance rate.

Todays, computers in business world are potent facilitators that most companies could not without them, while they are only tools. They offer extremely efficient means of communication, particularly when connected to Internet. What I stress in this article is the risks accompanied by e-commerce rather than the advantages of Internet or e-commerce. The management of e-commerce companies, therefore, should keep in mind that the benefit of e-commerce through the Internet are accompanied by enhanced and new risks, cyber risks or e-commerce risks. For example, companies are exposed to computer system breakdown and business interruption risks owing to traditional and physical risks such as theft and fire etc, computer programming errors and defect softwares and outsider's attack such as hacking and virus. E-commerce companies are also exposed to tort liabilities owing to defamation, the infringement of intellectual property such as copyright, trademark and patent right, negligent misrepresent and breach of confidential information or privacy infringement. In this article, I would like to suggest e-commerce insurance or cyber liability insurance as a means of risk management rather than some technical devices, because there is not technically perfect defence against cyber risks. But e-commerce insurance has some gaps between risks confronted by companies and coverage needed by them, because it is at most 6 or 7 years since it has been introduced to market. Nevertheless, in my opinion, e-commerce insurance has offered the most perfect defence against cyber risks to e-commerce companies up to now.

The health industry of China is faster than before, so it will be rank 5th at world-wide markets in 2010. Firstly, the custom tariff was lower at 15% in 2000 and at 10.4% on June 2005.

As the empirical test related health industry, it presents 19.80% export increase rate for China of Korea on reduction of custom tariff from 2001 to 2010. The exporting of drug for China will be up to 17.85% for 10 years. Also, the exporting of Biomedical will be up to 20.99%, and respectively 22.95%, 22.60% in Cosmetics and food industry. Conclusionally, the exporting of this health industry will be increase greatly, compared with any other industries.
