Terrorist organization has shown the trend of secret organization and it is harder to cope with terrorism because of uncertainty of terrorism. Homegrown terrorism is the one, whose preparation, execution and effect are restricted to domestic area. By the way, in the worldwide economic depression, violence and radical demonstration have shown the expansion trends as in Middle East, political revolution of Africa, anti-social resistance of Europe and Wall Street Occupation of USA. Homegrown terrorism is occurring in various countries such as UK and Spain as well as USA. Specialists warn homegrown terrorism in Korea. The purpose of this study was to prospect the possibility of homegrown terrorism that can be generated in the transfer to multi-culture society as various foreigners come to Korea rapidly and suggest the method to cope with the trend. The study analyzed environment and analysis of homegrown terrorism that Korea faces now. The methods to cope with homegrown terrorism are as follows. First, distribution of radical homegrown terrorism via internet should be prevented. Second, the connection between terrorist organization and homegrown terrorist should be prevented. Third, there should be a cooperation among government, residents and religious group. Fourth, there should be an open approach against multi-culture society. Fifth, there should be a systematic control for cause of new conflict. Finally, there should be a long-term approach to cause of new conflict. If we do not make an effort to prevent homegrown terrorism, terrorism environment may face new aspect and national and social cost for it will increase.

Integration of Europe was started when European Union Treaty was concluded at Maastricht for the first time on December, 1991. Europe which may be called as a cradle of modern national state has realized a single Europe not only in the socio-economic integration field but also in the political field. Under this background, it is considered that life-long education policy for developing a new integrated growth engine of EU requires educational response that may get ready for socio-economic environmental transformation more than anything else. In particular, this policy is faced with an important task of having to achieve harmony of efficiency through diversity and mutual coordination in pursuing cooperation and integrated development of life-long education field. However, notwithstanding their efforts, since 2008, some countries of EU were faced with economic crisis due to economic recession and this situation starts to drive the whole Europe even to the point of their financial crisis at last. This crisis is currently shaking socio-economic integration of EU. This study intends to observe a status of establishing life-long education system and promoting a policy for socio-economic integration of EU and to analyze as to what kind of relevance adult participation rate of life-long learning among the countries belonged to EU has with per capita income and to explore as whether socio-economic integration among member countries could be sustained based on problems of integrative life-long education system under the economic crisis of EU. In addition, through this study, an implication required for presenting a new paradigm conversion, policy establishment and development direction for the life-long education of our country is intended to be deduced.

The purpose of this essay is to explore the methodological standpoint and the meaning of 'Discourse Analysis' in policy science. I discussed it in three dimensions including: 1) the ontological point of view, 2) the epistemological perspective, and 3) researcher's position in policy research. 1) From the ontological standpoint, I explained the policy as a text, context, discourse, and ideology, that is focused on being constructed by the formative power of language. 2) The ontological standpoint produced "the argumentative turn" in the policy analysis, and many policy analysts emphasize the argumentative process of policy making and evaluation. This argumentation process includes the interpretative and critical viewpoints as well as the normative and ethical characteristics of policies in the discourse analysis. We should reexamine reality critically because discourse is ultimately influenced by the prevailing cultural and social norms. Therefore, an interpretative and critical viewpoint is an epistemological perspective in the discourse analysis. This critical approach creates an awareness of the limitations on our thinking under the particular major discourse, and requires the self-reflection within and beyond the discourse. This process leads to the human emancipation. 3) In order to achieve this emancipation, the last approach suggests that we need to scrutinize "the subject" as a researcher, who is also influenced and subjectified by the major discourse and, thus must deconstruct his or herself. Last but not least, we should emphasize the researcher's role as a listener of the minor voice(discourse) and even the silence of the clients.

This paper proposes to examine the relationship between the two trade unions of Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) - those of the regular workers and of the in-house subcontract workers - around the issue of converting irregular workers to regular ones, which has been a social issue for a long time, and, furthermore, to find a desirable solution. The politics of the in-house subcontracting rotate around three axes: the conflictive collusion between the company and the regular workers'union regarding the internal labor market; the exclusion and resistance between the company and the subcontract workers'union; and the solidaristic conflict relationship between the two unions. After the final decree by the supreme court in 2012 the conflict and collusion/solidarity relationship of the three social actors have been amplified in scale - the continuous limping of the special bargaining between the company and the unions, the intensified conflict between the company and the subcontract workers'union, and the crisis of the collusion between the branches of the two unions are all evidence of this. A clue to the solution to the issues of in-house subcontracting in HMC can be found through reestablishment of the relationship among the three actors. In order to solve the in-house subcontracting issues in HMC, phased and lawful switching from irregular to regular positions, improvement of working conditions for the irregular workers, integration of the two unions (realization of 'one company one union'), and negotiated flexibility in the internal labor market will be required. Also to be considered are installation of a special committee for the issue, and utilization of external consultants. The result would be the possibility for the corporate labor market of HMC to be composed of regular workers, legal contract workers and directly-employed contract workers, which could be realized through bilateral relations of 'the labor and management conflict partnership'.

This article tries to compare exchange relations between welfare and dictatorship in the East Germany and the North Korea. Unlike capitalist welfare aiming at correcting market results socialist welfare has been proposed to satisfy people's basic needs, but it had operated as instrument of dictatorship. Relation between welfare and dictatorship could be distinguished as hard exchange and soft one in line with social construction of welfare. Welfare-dictatorship relation in East Germany had developed from its formation(1949-1970s), crisis(1980s) and dissolution(1989-1990). There had established hard exchange relation in which the legitimacy of dominance had debted to welfare as social rights. While crisis of the exchange relation had been modest in a form of insufficient supply of consumption goods, it was one of the elements of collapse of dictatorship, leading to the unification with West Germany. The journey of the exchange relation in North Korea can be characterized by its formation(1948-1980), crisis(1990s-2000s), and transformation(2010s). Unlike East Germany, welfare was socially constructed as gift form the ruler to the ruled, which made the combination of welfare and dictatorship loosely coupled. Although economic crisis was severe compared to East German one the rulers have succeeded maintaining dictatorial dominance by creating dual exchange relation. They separated core group and subordinated one supporting the former at the expense of the latter. They blocked out most of the people from soft exchange relation making bad use of muddling-through life style dependent on market activities. This strategy led to a 'dictatorship neutral welfare extinction'. Taking the high degree of institutionalization of newly establishing welfare-dictatorship relation into account, lives of most people are hardly expected to be improved by gift by their rulers even if North Korean economy will recover in the future.

Local opposition against the construction of solar power facilities is a growing social issue in the context of renewable energy expansion in Korea. Local opposition, despite solar power generation being an environmentally-friendly and safe energy source, is an issue that requires diagnosis. This study examined the features of opposition against the location of small scale solar power panels developed in rural areas and draws policy suggestions to increase local acceptance. Four cases representing local conflicts have been selected from the period starting in December 2017 to March 2018 in Okcheongun, Chungbuk Province. In order to analyze those cases, a total of 38 local residents and stakeholders were interviewed. This study analyzes the reason of opposition against renewable energy development in their neighborhood based on the place attachment theory. As a result, the grounds of opposition are specifically found in three place attachment dimensions: place identity and place dependence in personal contexts; shared history, self-governing and membership, economic concerns and political concerns in community contexts; identity from nature, experiences of management on nature, environmental consequences in natural contexts. This study suggests policy implications for increasing local acceptance such as the resolution of technological concerns, a local participation system, adequate compensation measures and harmony with the surrounding landscape.

The international society under the internet technology have been declining boundaries of the global economy. After this step, a social revolution will be happen from the ubiquitous technology which fives objects intelligence to serve people. And then it is expected that every part of a city competitive power is defined by both in qualify and in quantify of the ubiquitous information unit in the future. On this score, now each nation is trying to set relative services and broadband networks to lead the ubiquitous industry. Therefore this paper analyzed about the progress and prospect of a local U-city plan in our nation Especially we propose a new city development model which use U-city and self-communication network to Improve a city competitive power.

This paper is to conceptualize 'new urbanization' on the basis of a certain possibility of 'sustainable urbanization' in the capitalist society, while admitting some criticism on its possibility. For this purpose, first of all, this paper points out some economic and environmental difficulties in the Fordist regime of accumulation and the developmentalist strategies which have promoted the modem urbanization in the industrial society. Then, this paper examines the concept of 'sustainable development' which has been suggested to manage such problems in modem industrial cities, and explores its limitation that the application of this concept has been usually confined to some ex post facto - that is, weak sustainable development - strategies to resolve urban environmental problems. Finally, in order to overcome these problems both of developmentalism and of weak sustainable development, this paper conceptualize strong sustainable development for new urbanization and suggest urban environmental strategies for strong sustainable cities.

본 연구는 갈수록 설 자리를 잃어 가는 지역 상권에 있어서 최근 10년 여 기간 동안 원주시에서 지속적으로 정치${\cdot}$경제적, 사회적 이슈로 제기되어 왔던 문제는 지하상가 상권의 침체와 활성화 문제라 할 수 있다. 원주 지하상가는 정부의 요구에 의하여 민방공 대피시설로 생겼으며, 각종 연구보고서나 학술세미나의 정책주제로 지하상가 도심 활성화 문제가 거론되고 있다. 특히 매번 지방선거에서는 지하상가 상권 활성화를 선거공약으로 제시하지 않은 후보가 없었을 정도였다는 것을 우리는 기억하고 있다. 그만큼 지하상가의 문제가 심각하다는 의미이며, 지하상가의 활성화를 통한 도시개발은 원주시민 공동의 과제라는 점을 이해 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 지역사회의 요청에 따라 그동안 수많은 개선안들이 원주시 차원에서 추진되었다. 지하상가 주변에 특화거리를 지정${\cdot}$조성하는 '특화거리 조성사업'에서부터, 주차문제 해결을 위한 '공영주차장 건설사업', '재래시장 현대화사업', '주거환경개선사업', '하상도로 건설사업', '지하상가 리모델링사업' 등 단기 및 중장기 사업계획이 추진되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 크게 개선되지 못하고 있는 실정이며, 앞으로 계속 우리가 깊은 관심을 갖고 해결해 나가야 할 과제로 남아 있다. 그러나 최근 원일프라자 준공을 전후하여 지하상가는 조금씩 변화의 조짐을 보이고 있으며, 일부에서는 도심이 활성화될 것이라는 성급한 판단을 내리기도 한다. 원주시는 미약하나마 인구가 증가하는 추세이며, 전반적으로 도심이 침체의 늪에서 벗어나고 있는 인상을 주고 있기 때문이다. 그러나 이러한 변화가 과연 도심이 활성화되고 있는 징후로 볼 것인가? 특히 이러한 변화의 조짐이 원일프라자의 준공과 직접적인 관련성을 갖고 있는가? 몇가지 변화의 사례를 가지고 간단하게 판단할 수는 없다. 그러나 원일프라자의 준공은 도심지역의 개발${\cdot}$정비를 예정하고 있으며, 장기적으로는 도심 활성화의 중요한 동인이 될 수 있음을 부인할 수 없다. 따라서 본 발제에서는 이와 같은 상황적 변화를 전제로 하여 지하상가 리모델링을 통한 도심활성화와 선진사례를 받아들임으로 지역상권 활성화 방향으로 전환하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

This study examined the Japanese and Chinese journalist's views on anti-Korean wave, who are the public and authoritative discourse producers in Japan and China, respectively. In so doing, the study aims to understand the ways in which the phenomena of anti-Korean wave take place and are diffused. According to the findings, anti-Korean wave in north-east Asia is affected by anti-Korea sentiments that have been induced from historical and political relations as well as cultural conflicts. In specific, the anti-Korea sentiments found in both Japan and China are geopolitical particularity and historical relations function to frame their cultural receptions of Korean pop culture. In other words, the phenomena of anti-Korean wave in both countries do not stem directly from local audiences' either discontents or apathy on Korean pop contents. However, while Japanese anti-Korean wave seems to be mere expressions of anti-Korea sentiments, Chinese sentiments of anti-Korean wave are triggered and transferred by, or articulated with their anti-Korea sentiments.
