This is a study on hostage crisis and effective resolution of the crisis. First, we surveyed the theoretical guidance for our study: definition, patterns, of hostage crisis; psychology of hostage-takers. And we explores a great variety of hostage crisis cases to develop principles and methods for negotiation and subjugation. We suggest, throughout this study, some action program to be developed, as follow: First, we need to broaden and deepen the understanding on the issue of hostage-crisis by expanding educational opportunity on the issue, while raising hostage negotiators. Second, information sharing system among hostage management related offices, and complete training for SWAT team are required. Third, when a hostage-crisis is raised, police enforcement must corporate with mass-media in a way of close manner. Fourth, in a critical hostage crisis, the commander should appear on site for effective command. Lastly, the top-priority for the commander who is in charge of the crisis should be put on the security of hostage and hostage-taker, as well.

The purpose of this study is to provide practical implications on government crisis management strategies and on the use of SNS in crisis management. Specifically, this study analyzed Ministry of Drug and Food Safety's responses to paraben toothpaste issue, media coverage of paraben toothpaste issue, and public responses to paraben toothpaste issue. Through textual analysis and the network analysis of 45 news articles and 645 tweets, this study found that Ministry used one-way communication strategy and mostly negative issues regarding Ministry's crisis response strategies were diffused via the media and Twitter. This study was meaningful in that it highlighted the importance of media relations and use of SNS in crisis management. The findings of this study provide useful implications for government officials and PR practitioners in their crisis management and communication strategy.

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.

Recently domestic companies have struggled to deal with different kinds of crisis accrued from various sources. However, their perception on the crisis and crisis management system are extremely vulnerable. In particular, although almost all companies have had many business related crisis, they have tended to ignore the crisis with simply considering it as unlucky and not to approach it provocatively in preparing some preventive measures and turning it into an opportunity due to the lack of recognizing the importance of risk management. In other words, domestic companies have not systematically prepared detailed plans for potential crisis, rather have tended to recognize the importance of having crisis management system after experiencing a detrimental crisis or accident. Furthermore research on the issue has conducted sparsely in the academic world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences among types of businesses in terms of the degree of crisis experienced previously, the perception on the importance of crisis management system, the level of crisis management implementation, and the areas of crisis management being focused in the future. Usable data was collected from 201 companies using an on-site survey. Data was analyzed with SPSS 21.0 using some descriptive statistics and a series of ANOVA (One-way Analysis of Variance). Results and implications were provided, along with some future research directions.

In this paper, we propose a function and service of the Disaster Crisis Alert Management System that automatically analyzes the situation judgment criteria to issue a disaster crisis alert and a plan to operate in the National Disaster Management System(NDMS). In the event of a disaster, a crisis alert(interest-caution-alert-serious) is issued according to the crisis alert level. In order to automatically analyze and determine the crisis alert level, first, data collection, crisis alert level analysis, crisis alert level judgment, and disaster crisis alert management system that expresses the crisis alert level by spatial scale(province, city, district) were implemented. The crisis alert level was analyzed and expressed in two ways by applying the intelligent crisis alert level(determination of regional sensitivity, risk level, and crisis alert level) and the crisis alert standard of the crisis management manual(province-level standard setting). Second, standard metadata, linkage of situation information of target) and API standards for data provision are presented to jointly utilize data linkage and crisis alert data of the disaster and safety data sharing platform so that it can be operated within the NDMS.

Korea has been preparing and operating crisis management standardized manuals so that over 30 disaster types that need to be managed at the national level can be selected and systematically managed. This study analyzed the crisis alert levels of two standard manuals related to the case with reference to the contents of the Framework Act on the Management of Disaster and Safety and National Crisis Management Basic Guidelines. According to the Act and Guidelines, crisis alerts are issued before a crisis or disaster, but the criteria of crisis alerts of the two manuals showed that the national crisis had already occurred and the disaster occurred due to a marine vessel accident at the serious level. In addition, the results of timing of issuance of crisis alert were reviewed. If the signs can be identified, a crisis alert may be issued prior to the occurrence of the incident, but a crisis alert cannot be issued when an incident occurs without a sign. In the case of an incident where there are no signs, but there is a possibility of spreading to a national level disaster, the disaster management supervision agency could issue a crisis alert.

The 'alert' is to provide a signal or information beforehand, in order to prepare against situations in which abrupt incidents or disasters are expected. In other words, the purpose of alert is to help people or respondents to take precautions against and quickly cope with disasters or incidents, before those actually occur. This paper draws requirements of alert system from definitions of the alert and cases of it home and abroad. Following requirements of alert system are derived to allow subjects responsible for alert issue to quickly handle changes of situations; 1) identification of subjects responsible for alert issue, 2) use of definite terms regarding alert levels, for prompt actions, and 3) distinct separations among alert levels. This paper suggests improvement directions by extracting several problems of National Crisis Alert System according to such requirements.

The substantial slowdown of economic growth since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 is rekindling debate on whether developing Asia should use fiscal expansion to boost aggregate demand. A key factor in the debate is the effectiveness of countercyclical fiscal policy in the region. The global crisis, as well as the fiscal stimulus packages implemented by developing Asian countries at that time, give some clues to this important issue. The region weathered the global crisis well and experienced a robust V-shaped recovery. According to conventional wisdom, the fiscal stimulus packages put in place by Asian governments played a key role in the region's recovery. The central objective of this paper is to empirically test this wisdom by using cross-country panel data. Our main finding is that the stimulus has had a limited but positive impact on developing Asia's output during the global crisis. This lends some support to the notion that countercyclical fiscal policy can help the region cope with severe external shocks. The broader, more fundamental implication for regional policymakers is that the region's long-standing commitment to fiscal discipline can yield significant benefits beyond macroeconomic stability. An important consequence of this commitment - relatively healthy fiscal balance sheets - enabled the region's governments to quickly and decisively embark upon fiscal stimulus programs.
