Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is a concept emerging rapidly as a theoretical and methodological framework to shape science for better society, instead of merely for economic growth. While the responsibility of science usually means ethics of researchers in the process of research, RRI extends the concept of the responsibility by claiming that researchers should be responsible for the purpose and outcome of research as well. In addition, RRI proposes four interconnected concepts of anticipation, reflectivity, deliberativeness/inclusiveness, and responsibility as a methodological framework to achieve these tasks. However, RRI is not merely a theoretical concept but has been already practiced at many levels in real world. We discuss how RRI has been practiced and played important roles in reflecting on research and innovation policies in the past and guiding new policies by examining two research projects, STIR and SPICE, and three national R&D programs, EPSRC's embracement of RRI in the Britain, MVI in the Netherlands, and R&D for social problem-solving in Korea.

정부는 2027년까지 식량자급률 55.4%를 달성하고, 채소·과실류 국내 공급 여력의 85% 수준을 유지하기 위한 적정 농지면적 150.0만ha가 필요하다고 추정하였다. 그리고 정부는 적정 면적 확보를 위해서 농지보전 목표가 포함된 중장기 기본계획을 수립할 예정이다. 이러한 식량자급률 달성과 채소 및 과실류 재배 면적 확보를 위해서는 논의 다각적인 활용 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 왜냐하면 최근 쌀 공급과잉 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 '양곡관리법'이 정치적 이슈로 등장할 만큼 쌀 공급과잉 해소와 논 농지의 효율적인 활용에 대해 사회적 관심이 많다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 최초로 논 배수 개선을 위해 지하암거가 설치된 경북상주시 공검면 일대를 대상으로 암거배수의 성과를 살펴보고 개선방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 지하암거 설치로 배수여건이 개선된 수혜농가 42명을 대상으로 심층면담을 실시하였다. 사례지역은 오태저수지를 기점으로 시작하는 공검소하천 양안에 넓게 위치하고 분지지형으로 하천보다 낮은 저지대로, 평상시·강수시 지하수위가 높아 습답이 형성되어 영농기계 사용이 어렵고, 일부지역의 경우 작물 파종, 수확을 하지 못하는 등 피해 발생하여 영농여건이 매우 불리한 지역이다. 이러한 배수불량을 개선하기 위해 수혜면적 55.6ha에 (지하)배수가 정비되었다. 이러한 배수 개선이 지역 영농에 미치는 효과는 다음과 같이 분석되었다. 첫째, 수혜구역 내 농가들은 배수불량으로 농기계 작업이 불편하고, 논의 습답을 제거하기 위해 해당 시설에 대한 필요성을 느끼고 있다. 또한 암거배수 시설로 인해 약 72% 농가들은 습답 개선의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전체 수혜농가의 약 72%는 암거시설로 인해 논의 습답이 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 암거시설로 인해 물빠짐이 개선되었고, 농기계 작업이 용이하게 되었다. 다만 사업 첫해에는 논을 파헤쳐 농기계가 빠지는 피해가 있었지만, 2차년도부터는 논이 정비되어 농기계 빠지는 피해는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 수혜 농가들이 느끼는 "습답 피해가 매우 있음"은 사업 시행 전 51.61%에서 사업 완료 후에는 4.17%로 급격히 감소하였다. 또한 "습답 피해가 전혀 없음"을 느끼는 농가는 사업 시행 전 3.23%에 불과했지만, 사업 완료 후에는 20.83%로 급증하였다.

The discussion of the relationship between macro-economic variables is very important research topic. the most economic variables discussed in connection with the liberalization of capital is the exchange rate and stock prices and these two variables have a relationship of mutual influence are identified. However, the results on the time frequency and the time span of a variable appear differently. Therefore, the purpose of this research describes a cause that the result of prior research varied and presents more reliable research methodology. In this research, when the time frequency and span varied, the VAR analysis of the exchange rate and stock prices appeared differently. So, we use the Monte Carlo simulation method in order to performing our purpose. Our research supports the existing research said the ratio that each coefficient VAR model contained 95% confidence interval of estimated coefficient in Monte Carlo simulation is higher when it is applied more the long term and frequent observation.

The studies and concerns of social rights and the security of social rights continue steadily, and extend there range and realms. But not only ideological and political threats on them but also critical views still are widespread. Therefore we need adequate researches on the characteristics of social rights and the meanings of the security of social rights, which are more fundamental. So this study was intended for more precise understanding on social rights and the meanings of the security of social rights through researches on the characteristics of social rights. The characteristics of social rights which this study researched are rights and duties, citizenship rights and social justice, and methodology and ideology. Through this research, I discussed justness of social rights and clarified the security of social rights not to be defined categorically but to be procedural concept. I argued that security of social rights is necessary to realize other citizenship rights such as civil rights, political rights, and I discussed this has to be considered dimension of social justice. And I discussed the necessity and the levels of distribution, which are accomplished not to dimension of simple social security and social welfare benefits but to dimension of human liberties, rights, and equalities.

The purpose of this study is to present empirical evidence for discussion of financing social welfare via estimating optimal tax burden in the main member countries of the OECD by using Hausman-Taylor method considering endogeneity of explanatory variables. Also, the author produced an international tax comparison index reflecting theoretical hypotheses on revenue-expenditure nexus within a model to compare real tax burden by countries and to examine feasibility of tax increase in Korea. As a result of the analysis, the higher the level of tax burden was, the higher the level of welfare expenditure was, indicating the connection between high burden and high welfare from the aspect of scale. The results also indicated that the subject countries recently entered into the state of low tax burden. Meanwhile, Korea had maintained low burden until the late 1990s but the tax burden soared up since the financial crisis related to the IMF. However, due to the impact of foreign economy and the tax reduction policy, it reentered into the low-burden state after 2009. On the other hand, the degree of social welfare expenditure's reducing tax burden has been gradually enhanced since the crisis. In this context, the current optimal tax burden ratio of Korea as of 2010 may be 25.8%~26.5% of GDP based on input of welfare expenditure variables, a percent that Korea was investigated to be a 'high tax burden-low ITC' country whose tax increase of 0.7~1.4%p may be feasible and that the success of tax system reform for tax increase might be higher probability when compare to others. However, measures of increasing social security contributions and consumption tax were analyzed to be improper from the aspect of managing finance when compared to increase in other tax items, considering the relatively higher ITC. Tax increase is not necessarily required though there may be room for tax increase; the optimal tax burden ratio can be understood as the level that may be achieved on average when compared to other nations, not as the "proper" level. Thus, discussion of tax increase should be accompanied with comprehensive understanding of models of economic developmental difference from nations and institutional & historical attributes included in specific tax mix.

Now it is a proper time to discuss on the issue of crisis negotiation more in-depth. Thus far, studies on crisis negotiations have been mere manual style guidelines of "what to do". More substantial and rigorous theoretical propositions and empirical studies await for the future development of crisis negotiation field. This article contributes to the theoretical enrichment of the study of crisis negotiation field. Conventionally, two problems of misperceptions are raised in crisis negotiation. For instance, even though two parties used the same word, there can appear a substantial difference. Even worse, in many cases parties of negotiation send misinformation intentionally or unintentionally. This noise of communication can cause a serious misperception for parties of crisis negotiation including police officers, perpetrators, and hostages. However, this issue has not yet discussed in the field of crisis negotiation in Korea. This paper pointed out such important but not yet focused issue. It first discusses about the problem of perception and misperception. Next, it presents the negative impacts of such perception and misperception in crisis negotiation communication. Finally, it suggests the policy implications.

Republic of Korea had undergone a meaningful transformation from aid recipient country to aid donor country and it was the only case among OECD countries. It became the 24th member of DAC in November, 2009. Therefore, it is required that we have to expand assistance which comes up to current economic power of Republic of Korea. However there are weak theoretical consideration about the obligation and justification of foreign aid fundamentally. These researches are almost about communitarianistic, liberalistic perspectives of view but with these, it is hard to enlarge current foreign aid into international level and it also takes a passive approach in obligation to provide. With these contexts in mind, this study proposes cosmotolitanism as an new alternative of foreign aid. This paper seeks to discuss that why we should give assistance to poverty-stricken counties and checking whether we have a obligation of foreign aid or not and the way or the extent to deal with if there is a obligation to help. Cosmotolitanism suggests that whole world is obliged with helping each other to enjoy equal rights and meet the obligation for others because people of the third world countries also have their own lives on the Earth like us and they are sharing all-global plan and future together. The existing discussion took a negative, restrictive attitude but it could mention that there is great relevance to discuss about Cosmotolitanism since it connotes the obligation for the third countries and their people itself.

The purpose of this study was to explore middle school students' perceptions about earth systems in order to implement the 2009 revised national science curriculum effectively. A total of 1219 students participated in the survey and asked to determine their basic understandings about earth systems, self-reported knowledge level, and perceived significance level of the 23 earth systems concepts (contents). In relation to students' basic understandings about earth system, approximately 67% students reported that they didn't know about the term of the earth system. Atmosphere and hydrosphere were highly perceived as major component of earth system. However, cryoshere was perceived to be least familiar by the subjects. The findings also showed that students' self-reported knowledge level and significance level about major ESU#4, #5, #6 related concepts (contents) were significantly different by gender. Most of male students were more knowledgeable and perceived more significant than female students. Regarding the difference of the perceived significance level by grade, 10 out of 23 concepts were significantly different. Some implications for implementing the revised curriculum and school fields were discussed.

This study aimed to examine the mediate effects of game addiction on the delinquency among school adolescents. In order to achieve the research purpose, secondary data was used which is the data by 8,516 people researched for 'A study on mental health improvement policy for children and adolescents II' among NYPI cross-sectional analysis provided by Korean Children Adolescents Data Archive and the collected data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0. The major findings were as follows. First, the better relationship with family and teachers led to lower level of game addiction and delinquency. However, in terms of relationship with friends, better relationship led to lower level of game addiction but higher level of delinquency. Second, as a result of verifying mediator effect of game addiction by decomposing the effects of relationship with family, teachers and friends on delinquency, they all demonstrated negative mediator effect. Based on the results I discussed social welfare intervention methods for game addiction in order to understand and prevent school adolescents' delinquency.
