Cross-border consumer disputes are on the increase as cross-border trade between consumers and businesses continues to grow. Cross-border consumer disputes are difficult to solve, because there are different languages, laws and institutions between the parties. These consumer disputes can be solved more easily by Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) in comparison with utilizing court processes. ODR is a branch of dispute resolution which uses technology to facilitate the resolution of disputes between parties. It primarily involves negotiation, mediation or arbitration, or a combination of all three. In this respect it is often seen as being the online equivalent of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). On 18 June 2013, the new legislation on Alternative Dispute Resolution and Online Dispute Resolution has been published - the "Directive on Consumer ADR and Regulation on Consumer ODR". The new legislation on ADR and ODR will allow consumers and traders to solve their disputes without going to court, in a quick, low-cost and simple way. The United Nations working group for online dispute resolution of cross-border electronic commerce transactions (UNCITRAL Working Group III) has been underway since 2010 to continue its work on procedural rules for ODR.

Over the past few decades, globalization has been shifting economic power upward to transnational actors on the one hand, and downward to subnational or regional spaces on the other. This phenomenon has resulted in the centrality of territorially delimited subnational regions acting as critical loci of economic governance within a complex and globally distributed value chain of trade and service flows. Within this broader context of industrial restructuring are economic regions that span national borders in their collective assets. The paper focuses on investigating the economic competitiveness and productivity of cross-border (or binational) economic regions. Using the conceptual framework of economic clusters, an econometric model that measures proxies of geographic proximity of firms in the life sciences cluster, and a new binational economic model, the paper examines the key characteristics, potentials and constraints of economic competitiveness and productivity in a cross-border region comprising counties in Western New York and regional municipalities in Southern Ontario. The findings demonstrate the direct and indirect benefits of closer cross-border economic cooperation. The paper then concludes with some policy observations about leveraging cross-border economic clusters for strategic industrial cooperation.

WCO TRS는 국경통관절차의 효율성을 평가하는 방법이며 간단히 무역원활화를 개선하는 관점에서 무역원활화 활동을 측정하는 도구이다. 이와 같은 TRS는 국경통과절차상의 문제점을 확인하고 확인된 문제점에 대한 개선책을 마련하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있으며 무역원활화 개선 수준을 확인시켜 주며 다른 국가와의 비교 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 더 나아가 개선된 무역원활화를 통해 무역업계의 경쟁력 강화에도 기여하게 될 것이다. 이 같은 유용성을 가지고 있는 TRS를 보다 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서 한국 관세행정당국은 현재까지 추진해오고 있는 CLIS를 통한 물품반출소요시간 측정을 지속적으로 해 나가야 할 뿐만 아니라 수입에만 치중되어 있는 반출소요시간 연구를 수출 TRS까지 확대해 나가서 전체 수출입 물품 반출시간의 효율화에 힘써야 할 것이다. 또한 중국, 일본, 미국과 같은 주요 교역상대국과 공동 TRS를 추진하여 자국내 뿐만 아니라 전체 국제무역공급망의 간소화, 표준화, 조화가 이루어질 수 있도록 해야 할 것이며 아울러 한국 관세청의 최첨단 물품반출소요시간 간소화 경험을 후진국에 전수하여 전체 국제물류공급망의 원활화에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 후진국의 수출입절차상의 역량강화(Capacity Building)에 기여함으로 국제적 위상제고에도 기여할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

최근 급속히 확산되고 있는 '전자상거래무역' 혹은 '국경을 넘는 전자상거래(CBEC)'에 대하여 우리정부는 수출증대에 미치는 영향이 크다는 판단하에 적극적인 지원을 하고 있다. 그러나 다양한 부처에서 산발적으로 추진되는 지원은 효과적이지도 효율적이지도 못한 실정이다. 따라서 지원정책의 일관성과 효과성, 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 법률적으로 주무부처를 명확히 하고 타부처에 대하여는 협조의무를 부여하는 방안이 바람직하다. 이를 위해서는 기존에 부처별 업무영역에 따라 산재되어 있는 법률들을 각각 개정하거나 새로운 법률의 제정을 해야 한다. 그러나 이는 현실적으로 실행하기가 쉽지 않기 때문에 기존 법률 중 가장 유사한 영역을 규정하고 있는 '전자무역 촉진에 관한 법률'을 개정하는 것이 실현가능한 대안으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 CBEC를 확산하기 위하여 이 법률의 개정을 하는 것이 다른 방안에 비하여 합리적이라는 점을 다양한 문헌자료를 통하여 제시하여 우리나라 CBEC의 확산, 특히 CBEC 수출의 확대에 기여하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 삼는다.

With starting of the WTO system, the environments of international trade and commerce met new aspects of affairs such as lowering of trade barriers among nations and bittering of competition among companies that transcend nation's border. In these changing environments of international trade and commerce, to accomplish high rates of export growth, it is necessary that the government and private companies have to establish new international trade and commerce policies and effective counter plans. In relation to these situations, to cultivate international trade and commerce specialist constantly who can be adapted to the situation of the times, the persons concerned with international trade and commerce education of the university must be considering the change of environments, and analyze the problems and pursue the change constantly to fulfill the needs of the society. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the changing features of the educational environments for international trade and commerce in Korea, and suggested improvement direction of education of international trade and commerce of university. We suggest that following; firstly, development of the link major, secondly, development of standardized curriculum, thirdly, enlargement of cooperation with foreign countrie's universities, and fourthly, activation of the trade incubator project.

This study examines the role of trade finance in the trade collapse of 2008-09 from the perspective of the Korean economy. We use two approaches. Firstly, as background to a more formal analysis, we make a casual observation on the behavior of aggregate data on trade finance, on which Korea has relatively abundant data. Aggregate data do not convincingly support the view that trade finance played an active role in causing the trade collapse. The measures of trade finance and the value of trade both dropped sharply, but the ratio of trade finance over trade was stable and in some cases increased during the crisis period. Secondly, using quarterly data on listed firms in Korea, we conduct panel estimations to test whether firms that are more dependent on external finance experienced greater export contraction during the crisis. Our regression analysis suggests that the financial vulnerability of firms, measured by various financial ratios, did not contribute to export contraction during the financial crisis. This observation largely applies even to smaller firms, who are usually thought of as being more vulnerable financially. However, we find that small exporters that relied heavily on cross-border trade payables or receivables suffered larger drops in export growth during the crisis.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), previous M&A experience, and the probability of deal completion in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs). Since Chinese SOEs tend to be recognized by host countries as agents of their home country government, this study argues that SOEs will face difficulties in completing CBMA deals. However, the study expects that these difficulties may vary depending on whether the firm has previous M&A experience because firms can gain the knowledge and capabilities necessary to implement subsequent M&As successfully from past M&A experience. Design/methodology - To investigate our argument, we conduct a logistic regression using a sample of 363 CBMA deals from 304 Chinese publicly listed firms during 2007 to 2017. We used SOEs as an independent variable, experience of domestic and foreign M&As as moderating variables, respectively, and CBMA deal completion as the dependent variable. Findings - The study shows a negative and significant relationship between Chinese SOEs and the completion likelihood of CBMA deals. We find that this negative relationship is strengthened when the firm had prior domestic M&A experience, whereas foreign M&A experience alleviated the negative relationship. Originality/value - The issue of government ownership has remained unclear since government intervention has both advantages and disadvantages in pursuing CBMAs. Our findings support literature that argues Chinese SOEs face legitimacy concerns in the host countries, thereby lowering their CBMA deal completion likelihood. Furthermore, the study enriches the literature by identifying different moderating effects of domestic and foreign M&A experience on the negative relationship between SOEs and CBMA deal completion.

The purpose of this research is to suggest a desirable framework to promote EDI system in the Korean trade and transportation industries. First, this thesis reviews the trend of introduction of EDI systems in foreign countries and investigates their characteristics by examining some cases. Then the problems, which the Korean industries would be confronted with during the course of introduction of EDI system, are identified and discussed. Finally, this thesis suggests that the logistics network should be developed as a main system of EDI to which sub-networks of trade and custom service are linked. This leading role of logistics metwork is necessary to the EDI system because logistics tasks for international movement of goods are expected to increase while tasks related to trade and custom services will decrease in view of recent changes in the world trade environments warning the unbounded competition in the global marketplace without border.
