2007년이 시작되었다. '600년마다 돌아오는 황금돼지의 해'라고도 하는 사람도 있고 '화이트 데이'나 '빼빼로 데이'처럼 상업성에 물든 개념이라고 하는 사람도 있다. 어떻게 해석하든 2007년이 모든 벤처기업에게 유형, 무형의 황금을 선사하는 한해가 되길 바라며 <재미로 보는 2007 벤처 토정비결>과 <벤처기업 4개사의 2007 비전>을 게재한다. 환율하락과 한미 FTA, 북핵 등으로 어지러워도 자유로운 상상과 활동을 기반으로 오래도록 '벤처의 르네상스'로 기억될 2007년을 기대한다.

This article presents a descriptive analysis on national security policy platforms promoted by the ruling parties of South Korea during general and presidential elections. National security platforms made during the elections campaigns are a window that allows us to see how the ruling party perceives the threat environment, opportunity-structures, policy preferences and material capabilities faced by the state. South Korea presents a unique case since it faces constant military threats from North Korea and interacts with China and the United States. Therefore, the national security policy platforms, which are explicitly campaigned during the general and presidential elections, showcases the worldview of the ruling party. The study essentially focuses on three areas of the platforms - its threat perception on North Korea, the ROK-US alliance and the future vision for the Korean peninsula by covering two presidential elections and three general elections for the last 20 years.

2003년도 국내 DB관련 업체를 대상으로 종합경기, 내수판매, 수출, 투자, 자금사정, 채산성, 고용 등 7영역에 대해 DB산업 경기실사지수(DB_BSI)를 조사한 결과, 1/4분기에 비해 2/4분기 경기실적은 다소 회복된 것으로 조사됐다. 이와 같은 호전세는 3분기에도 지속될 전망이나 세계경제의 부진, 중증급성호흡기증후군(SARS)으로 인한 중국시장 부진, 북핵문제를 둘러싼 지정학적 위협, 가계 부채 증가 등에 따른 시장부진 등의 악재로 인해 보합세(100)에는 미치지 못할 것으로 전망된다.

The policy of the United States is a Korean Peninsula free of all nuclear weapons. The United States government was considering the possibility of military action to eliminate the North Korean nuclear threat. Talk of military action peaked from mid-1993 through mid-1994. Such an attack might have led directly to a Korean war. At that time the nuclear crisis solutioned by North Korea-United States negotiation and ROK-United States alliance. PSI's purpose is to prevent or at least inhibit the spread of weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and related materials to and from states and non-state actors whose possession would be a serious threat to global or regional security. The most controversial activity of PSI is interdiction. North Korea has expressed grave concern over the initiative, stating that it has a sovereign right to develop, deploy, and export weapons, and that it would view any interdiction of its ships as a declaration of war. If South Korea is to execute interdiction North Korean ships expect tensions to increase dramatically on the peninsula with North Korea doing something quite provacative in response. South Korea cannot help approaching PSI with great caution, since it has to consider the ROK-United States alliance, and inter-Korean relations.

A seismic change is under way in diplomatic topography surrounding the Korean Peninsula. A new dynamic is being generated that could lead to a breakthrough in the nuclear stalemate and to an end of hostility between the two Koreas. Moon Administration's bold and creative foreign policy, which is alleged to place South Korea in the "driver's seat", is probably responsible for what is happening on the Korean Peninsula. However, on the other hand, Moon Administration's foreign policy shows a lot of continuity with foreign policy of previous conservative governments. In particular, the Moon government's emphasis on the vitality of the ROK-US alliance and its commitment to close coordination with the US in dealing with nuclear issues of North Korea is the hallmark of the continuity in South Korea's foreign policy. Emphasizing and sharing the notion of the continuities in foreign policy could contribute to social integration by garnering bi-partisan support. It could also spawn sense of stability, predictability, and confidence to diplomatic counterparts in other countries. And it could help avoid the negative effects of expectation-reality gap in the event that the outcome of all the diplomatic endeavor falls short of expectation held by citizens.

북핵문제 해결의 대안으로 제기된 대북경수로제공 논의에서 우여곡절 끝에 '한국형경수로 제공'과 '한국의 중심적 역할'이 결정되고 이를 주관할 국제 컨소시엄인 한반도에너지개발기구(KEDO)가 구성되어 북한과는 공급협정을, 한국전력공사와는 주계약자지정합의서를 체결함으로써 상업계약 체결에 관계없이 일단 사업 착수를 위한 큰 틀이 갖추어지게 되었다. 이에 따라 울진 3, 4호기를 참조발전소로 한 경수로 2기가 우리의 주도로 2003년을 목표 시한으로 함남 신포 인근에 건설되게 되었다. 부지조사도 대체로 마무리되어, 곧 환경영향평가 작업이 있을 예정이다. 약 45억 달러가 소요될 건설 비용은 한국이 대부분을, 일본이 상당부분을, 미국이 일부를 맡기로 대체로 합의되어 있으나, 최종 확정에 앞서 논란의 소지가 남아 있으며, 사업 참여 지분을 두고도 KEDO 참여국 간에 갈등이 예상된다. 이 사업의 의의는 크게는 어려움을 겪고 있는 북한의 에너지난 타개를 지원함으로써 그들을 개방으로 이끌어 남북간 화해와 세계평화를 조장하며, 작게는 우리의 원자력산업이 세계시장으로 뻗어 나가기 위한 계기를 마련하는데 있다. 이를 통해 포지티브 섬으로서의 통일의 초석을 마련한다는 민족적 대의에 충실하고 국가이익에 좌우되는 신국제질서의 생리를 직시함으로써 남북문제에 있어서는 대승적 자세로, 국가간 경비분담과 지분배분 협상에는 자주적 자세로 임함으로써 모처럼 원자력계에 주어진 막중한 소임을 차질없이 완수할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

This paper is written to suggest several recommendations for South Korea to deter and defend North Korean nuclear threat, when North Korea does not seem to give up its nuclear weapons and the US's extended deterrence including the nuclear umbrella could remain uncertain. For this purpose, it explains key options regarding nuclear deterrence and defense by non-nuclear weapon state. It evaluates the current status of South Korean non-nuclear preparedness against North Korean nuclear threat and provides some recommendations to improve the preparedness. As a result, this paper concluded that South Korean non-nuclear preparedness against North Korean nuclear threat was not that reliable. The preparedness has weakened since the South Korean effort to denuclearize North Korea through negotiations in 2018. In this sense, South Korea could have serious problems in protecting its people from North Korean nuclear threat if the US promise of extended deterrence is not implemented. South Korea should focus on its decapitation operation to North Korean highest leaders in case of North Korean nuclear attack based on a minimal deterrence concept. It should be prepared to conduct preventive strikes instead of preemptive strikes due to North Korea's development of solid fuel ballistic missiles. It should integrate its Ballistic Missile Defense with that of the US forces in Korea. South Korea should make a sincere effort for nuclear civil defense including construction of nuclear shelters.

This study reflects the regional context of Northeast Asian countries embodied in US-North Korean nuclear tension. The researcher uses the methodological inquiry of practical theology to analyze the political affairs and intertwine with religious education. The ecology of religious education to dismantle the threat of ethnic and racial discrimination such as white supremacy supports a shared pedagogy between students and their teachers in the narrative of Jesus to challenge all forms of oppression as the democratic presence of God.

The future of ROK-US alliance has not been discussed in detail by both governments since early 2000s. However, it is becoming more apparent that ROK-US alliance is facing various daunting challenges. The new administrations both in ROK and US might have different perspectives about the future of alliance. In the process of resolving outstanding North Korean nuclear issue, the alliance can face challenges to change its fundamental features such as halting joint military exercise. ROK-US governments also agreed to transfer wartime operational control as soon as possible. All those factors indicates the growing necessity to articulate the future of ROK-US alliance. ROK and US needs to facilitate to dialogue for future alliance with the possible scenarios of changing security environment such as maintaining status quo, reconciliation of North and South Korea, and entering the reunification stage. In each phase, ROK-US has to develop the goal for the alliance, military institution to implement the alliance, role of USFK, and etc. It is imperative to develop the road map for future ROK-US alliance at this stage to avoid unnecessary folly.

The development of North Korea's nuclear weapons has worsened to the sixth nuclear test in 2017, and despite the sanctions of the international community including our government, we have not been able to offer clear solutions and alternatives, and the current measures are not enough in case of North Korea is using nuclear weapons. This study suggests how we should be prepared against the use of nuclear weapons under the premise that North Korea will never give up development of nuclear weapons under any circumstances. The first chapter outlines the current status of our preparedness if North Korea makes a nuclear attack. The second chapter analyzes and evaluates the power of nuclear weapons and North Korea's nuclear weapons threat. In the third chapter, we analyze North Korea nuclear attack and analyze the wartime emergency situation and civil defense posture. Finally, in order to implement the solutions presented in the text, we will identify priorities and summarize further developments.
