The strengthening of multilateral international sanctions against North Korea has raised questions as to how effective they are in exerting pressure on the country's economy. In this paper, we address this question by examining their impact on the country's integration into regional and global apparel production networks. North Korea has in the past decade become an increasingly competitive exporter of apparel on the basis of consignment-based processing arrangements. Official trade data shows a sharp drop in North Korean exports of clothing since the sectoral ban in 2017. There is evidence to suggest, however, that exports have continued on a more informal and clandestine basis. North Korea's integration into apparel production networks has also taken the form of the dispatch of workers to factories in China's northeastern border regions. Yet there is evidence that the recent sanctions imposed on such practices has similarly led to illicit practices such as working on visitors' visas, often with the help of Chinese enterprises and local government. The resilience of North Korea's integration into apparel production networks follows a capitalist logic and is result of the highly profitable nature of apparel production for all actors concerned and a correspondingly strong desire to evade sanctions. As such, the analysis contributes to the literature on sanctions that suggests that the measures may contribute to emergence of growing informal and illicit practices and to the role of the clandestine economy.

This study extends theoretically the expected utility model of trade-conflict developed by Polacheck if a third country is involved, and analyses empirically how trade between North Korea and China affects to the political conflict between South and North Korea. The results of empirical analysis show that North Korea's exports to South Korea and China do not affect the conflict or cooperative relations between South and North Korea. But North Korea's imports from South Korea and China affect to the conflict between South and North Korea: increasing of North Korea's imports to South Korea reduce conflict between South and North Korea, but increasing of North Korea's imports to China increase conflict between South and North Korea.

드론은 군사용으로 제일 먼저 개발되어 시장을 형성했지만, 오픈소스 드론의 제작이 많아지면서 소비자 시장도 급속도로 확대되고 있다. 최근 중국의 DJI는 기업가치 100억 달러 이상을 넘볼 정도로 급성장을 하였고, 드론용 소프트웨어나 플랫폼을 확보한 스타트업 기업들에 대한 투자도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 구글이나 페이스북, 아마존 등은 자사의 서비스 강화를 위한 목적으로 드론 기술을 적극적으로 활용하고 있으며, 드론의 시장 확대에 따른 드론 시장 생태계도 크게 확장되고 있다. 최근 드론에 대한 관심이 뜨겁다. 특히 중국의 DJI는 모형 헬리콥터의 비행조종 시스템을 만들다가 전격적으로 소비자 드론 시장에 뛰어들었는데, 2014년 약 5억 달러 정도의 매출을 올렸다고 한다. 이는 2013년과 비교할 때 4배가 증가한 것이며, 2015년에는 또 다시 2배 이상 성장을 할 것으로 보여 올해에는 소비자 드론을 만드는 기업중에서 세계 최초로 10억 달러 매출을 달성할 것으로 예측된다. 당연히 기업가치도 크게 상승해서, 실리콘밸리에서는 DJI의 기업 가치를 100억 달러 이상으로 보고 있다.

기원전 37년 부여족의 일족인 고주몽이 건국한 고고려는 약 700년간 만주와 북만주를 무대로 하여 활약한 강대한 나라이며 한민족사상 가장 중요한 위치에 있었다. 부여족은 4000년이전에 중국의 동북부에서 만주에 이동한 문화민족이며 한나라에 의하면 그네들은 언제나 자기민족의 고도로 발달된 문화수준을 자랑하였고 주위의 타민족을 남만 북적 서융 동이라고 칭하여 야만인 취급을 하였음에도 불구하고 부여족만은 문화수준이 높은 민족이라고 하여 동등의 대우를 아끼지 않았다. 맥(貊)족에 대하여서는 춘추전국시대의 장자를 위시하여 소위 한서 남사 북사 제서 수서 구당서 당서등 고문헌의 어느 것에나 문화를 가진 민족으로써 소분되어 있었다. 과연 부여족은 만주지방에 산재되어 있는 수많은 민족중의 선각자이며 특히 고구려는 만주 및 한반도에 거주하고 있는 모든나라의 중심이 되었다.

군사용 목적으로 개발된 드론(drone)이 오픈소스로 시장을 형성하면서 급성장하여 우체국의 택배 시스템에 적용을 한다는 발표[10]를 보면 국가 신성장 동력으로 발전 가능성에 대하여 기대하고 있는 실정이다. 언론과 산업계에서 드론이 모든 것을 대체할 것이라고 인식되면서 기술의 한계점은 흐려지고 있다. 세계 시장에서는 중국의 DJI를 선두로 급속히 성장하고 있지만 규제 목소리 또한 만만치 않은 실정이다. 플랫폼 기업인 구글이나 페이스북 아마존 등에서는 드론을 적용[3]하기 시작하였지만 넘어야 할 산은 많은 것이 현실이다. 이러한 드론 기술의 수준과 해결 과제를 살펴보고 드론이란 무엇이며 국내외 동향을 살펴본다.

The purpose of this study is to start from the recognition of the problem of why the sanctions of the international community could not indicate a great effect. In order to find answers to this question, this study focuses on China's aid to North Korea and analyzes the determinants of support for North Korea. Despite a tough international community's sanctions against North Korea, China has taken a dual stance on sanctions and support for North Korea. As for this dual attitude of China, this study approaches the internal and external situation of the support to the North with the rationale for the Two-level game theory. China's sanction against North Korea could be divided into two categories: external factors and domestic factors. These factors include strengthening supremacy in China, checking the US, playing a responsible role in China, securing resources in North Korea, sustaining stable growth in China, maintaining the legitimacy of China's socialist political system, and spreading the Beijing consensus. Based on the analysis of these factors, it could be expected that China's aid for North Korea will be official, informal, or continuous, and it will be difficult for the North to stop supporting North Korea or deteriorating North Korea- China relations.

The canals of China·Northern Europe are different from those of Korea in the phases of the times and physical environment as follows. As the coefficient of river regime is high and the slopes of river is high in our country, the sediments are much deposited on the floor and river channels are meandered and the depth of water are low. So we should dredge the river floor and should construct the dams and lock gates. These will cause streams to be late and to be flooded. The rising and falling of groundwater tables may be fatal to the buildings. The ecosystem will be ruined by water pollution and rising of water levels. We are concerned about the economy of the canals, the low velocity of the canals, reduction of the transportation cost, transshipment cost and terminal cost, tourism·leisure-typed waterway and extreme cost of waterway development. It is proper for us to put in good order and control waterway simply by means of annual schedule, not to construct canal.

A paleomagnetic investigation of the Mesozoic Daedong Supergroup and the Precambrian Seosan Group in the Kyeonggi massif is carried out to elucidate the tectonic evolution of Korea under the effect of the collision between Korea and the North/South China Blocks. For the Daedong Supergroup, the characteristic direction of D/I=74.5$^{\circ}$/36.7$^{\circ}$(k=60.7, $\alpha$=5.1$^{\circ}$) after tilt correction is better clustered than that before tilt correction (D/I=61.9$^{\circ}$/52.8$^{\circ}$, k=4.4,$$\alpha$_{95}$=21.5$^{\circ}$), indi-cating that it is a primary magnetization acquired during the formation of the rock. Paleomagnetic pole position of the formation locates at 208.0$^{\circ}$E, 24.5$^{\circ}$N (n=14, K=67.5, $A_{95}$=4.9$^{\circ}$), statistically similar to those of Middle Triassic period of the SCB, revealing that the two had occupied the same tectonic unit during this period. It is observed that only 6 out of 33 sites of the Seosan Group yield remagnetized paleomagnetic direction. The rest of the sampling sites reveals severe dispersion of magnetic directions presumably due to the consequences of the collision between Korea and the North/South China Blocks. The characteristic direction of the Seosan Group is D/I=45.7$^{\circ}$/60.1$^{\circ}$(k=41.2,$$\alpha$_{95}$=10.6$^{\circ}$) and the corresponding pole is at 195.0$^{\circ}$E, 51.6$^{\circ}$N (n=6, K=20.8, $A_{95}$=12.4$^{\circ}$). Although the pole position is close to those of Jurassic period of the Kyeonggi massif and Early Cretaceous of the Kyeongsang basin. it is interpreted that the Seosan Group was remagnetized by the influence of the emplacement of the Jurassic Daebo Granite after or at the closing stage of the orogenic episode rather than under the direct effect of deformation and/or metamorphism caused by the collision.

Since the mid 1980s, the emergence of the Newly Industrialized Countries has been the most remarkable mutation in the foreign direct investment. This emergence is creating the new international spacial flows constituted by the developed country, the newly industrialized country and the developing country. According to the active foreign direct investment of the Asia Newly Industrialized Countries (ANICs) into East Asia from the middle of the 1980s, the intra-East Asia direct investment flow has a observable structure hierarchic composed of Japan, ANICs, ASEAN and China. In the inflow of intra-East Asia direct investment, Japan and ANICs flows from the extra-developed country and Japan, AESAN from ANICs, Japan, and China from the ANICs. In the outflow, Japan flows relatively into the ANICs and ASEAN, ANICs into ASEAN and China, ASEAN and China into the ANICs. In conclusion, the emergence of ANICs and theirs role intermediate in the East Asian economy causes the intra-East Asia direct investment flows to make a hierarchical structure.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the new strategies for strengthening the competi tiveness of Incheon port. To measure the calling factors and satisfaction of ports, this study developed a list of 24 items using a seven-point Likert scale through the previous literature reviews, pilot test and emerging factors. Factor analysis, regression analysis, one sample T-test, IPA and SPSS were conducted to verify the determinants choosing ports and customer satisfaction. The result of an empirical study revealed that the cargo volume and information system, etc. in Incheon port was evaluated as satisfied factors and berth availability and port charge, etc. as dissatisfied factors. Based on the outcomes of this study, to strengthen the competitiveness of Incheon port, several strategies were advised such as the inducement of North American and European cargo, port infrastructure, dedicated terminal and GTO inducement, hinterland construction, logistics companies inducement and cooperation with neighboring ports.
