Regulatory sentiment refers to the market's subjective evaluation of regulatory reform and is one of the most widely adopted indicators to those charged with implementing and diagnosing regulatory policies. The use of regulatory sentiment in advanced analysis has become universal, albeit it is often limited due to difficulties in articulating consistent and objective quantitative indicators that can meticulously reflect market sentiment overall. Thus, despite ample effort by scholars to read the economic impact of regulatory sentiment in the real economy, causal links are difficult to spot. To fill this gap in the literature, this study analyzes a regulatory sentiment index and economic performance indicators through a text analysis approach and by inspecting diverse tones in media articles. Using different stages of tests, the paper identifies a causal relationship between regulatory sentiment and actual economic activities as measured by private consumption, facility investment, construction investment, gross domestic investment, and employment. Additionally, as a result of analyzing one-unit impulse of regulatory perception, the initial impact on economic growth and private investment was found to be negligible; this was followed by a positive (+) response, after which it converged to zero. Construction investment showed a positive (+) response initially, which then rapidly changed to a negative (-) response and then converged to zero. Gross domestic investment as the initial effect was negligible after showing a positive (+) reaction. Unfortunately, the facility investment outcome was found to be insignificant in the impulse response test. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that it is necessary and important to increase the sensitivity to regulations to promote the economic effectiveness of regulatory reforms. Thus, instead of dealing with policies with the vague goal of merely improving regulatory sentiment, using regulatory sentiment as an indicator of major policies could be an effective approach.

이 논문은 쿠바의 기존의 발전 전략과 국가사회주의의 본질적 문제를 개선하기 위한 시장개혁 조처를 분석하고 발전전략으로서 산업정책의 효과성을 논의하였다. 국가사회주의의 계획 경제는 기본적으로 동기부여 체계(incentive system) 결여와 연성예산제약(soft budget constraint) 문제를 극복하기 쉽지 않다. 이 두 가지 문제는1990년대 주된 무역 대상국가인 소련과 동구 국가사회주의 국가의 몰락 초래하였다. 사회주의국가 블록의 몰락이후 쿠바는 식량부족, 에너지부족, 생필품 부족 등 심각한 경제위기에 봉착하였다. 이를 극복하기 위해 쿠바는 국가사회주의를 유지하는 수준에서 경제개혁을 단행하여 시장개혁 정책을 실행하고자 하였다. 특히, 수출주도형 산업정책으로 자유무역지대법을 통과시키고 강력한 외자 유치의 산업정책과 이를 통한 발전전략을 추진하였다. 그러나 마리엘특구 등 4개의 경제특구 설치에 의한 산업정책과 발전전략은 크게 성공을 거두지 못하였다고 평가되고 있다. 이는 기본적으로 이중적 고용과 임금, 그리고 이중화폐제도의 문제에서 비롯된다. 외국기업은 노동자를 쿠바의 고용청을 통해 간접적으로 고용하거나 해고할 수 있는 고용방식은 선진적인 인사 조직관리 기법 적용을 제한하게 되고 결국은 근로의욕 저하, 노동자의 생산성 하락과 효율성 하락으로 이어질 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 이중화폐제도로 인한 이중적 임금구조는 외국인투자기업에 인건비가 높이기 때문에 외국인이 쿠바에 적극적으로 직접투자를 꺼린 것이다. 또한 쿠바의 불균형 산업구조와 생산구조, 편중된 노동력 구조, 도심화와 농촌인구 슬림화, 농업생산의 중앙집권화 등으로 Lewis가 제안한 2부문모형인 아시아 농업주도 발전전략을 적용하기 쉽지 않아 보인다. 다시 말해, 쿠바는 산업정책을 통한 발전 전략을 수행하기 위해서 여러 가지 난점을 극복해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate existing world economic science theories and concepts of sustainable development as well as create original system of criteria and indicators to assess potential and conditions for sustainable development from a regional perspective and based on the above justify proposals for public authorities to improve methods of economic regulation for regional development. To achieve the goal evolution process of existing theories and concepts of sustainable development and "green growth" have been studied in terms of its adaptation to the spatial development of Kazakhstan, comparative dynamics of natural resources consumption in the Asia-Pacific region and Kazakhstan were investigated as well. Methodology. World best theory and practice methods for assessment of the level of sustainable development of the country and some of its territories were also studied. We selected the best system of criteria and indicators for assessment of economic, social and environmental sustainability of regional systems. Methods offered in this article are based on traditional and new factors of economic development and conditions for operation of regional systems. Indicators are chosen with a glance to basic goals for future development of regions in Kazakhstan. It is recommended to use two levels of methodology offered by author, namely national and regional, and at the local level later (districts, municipalities, cities). The results. Method offered by the author has been tested based on materials and statistics of regions in Kazakhstan. Suitability and usability of the proposed system of criteria and indicators for measuring of economic, social and environmental sustainability of regional systems was proved. Based on this analysis it was found out that there are regions in Kazakhstan that differ from each other by most of key indicators of sustainable regional development and this tendency is increasing. Conclusions and recommendations. As a result of this analysis, the authors have substantiated a number of proposals on methods of analysis to be used, improvement of methods of regional development, implementation of institutional reforms, as well as improvement of regional statistics. This article provides recommendations that can be successfully used in the management practices by public authorities to implement a new regional strategy focused on sustainable development in future.

The problem of corruption and the spread of corruption crime today is not only one of the main social problems, but also an obstacle to the implementation of reforms in Ukraine. Given the complexity, scale and diversity of the impact of corruption, it is an undisputed threat to national security. At the state level, corruption threatens, firstly, state security as a result of its spread in public authorities and the combination of political and business spheres; secondly, in the domestic political sphere as a result of non-compliance and violation by officials of public authorities and local governments of the laws of Ukraine; thirdly, in the economic sphere as a result of the dominance of personal interests of civil servants over national ones; fourthly, in other spheres, namely, military, social, ecological, informational, foreign policy, etc. The origins of corruption are diverse and are formed not only in the country but also abroad. The current corruption threat is the result of the country's ineffective domestic and foreign anticorruption policies. Acceleration of the spread and manifestation of external corruption threats is associated with a number of unresolved foreign policy issues against the background of the development of globalization and integration processes, in particular: economic and financial dependence of the country on international financial institutions and organizations; as well as from foreign countries that pose a potential threat due to their ambitious plans to expand our country; unresolved issues regarding the international legal consolidation of borders, etc. It is noted that the current conditions for the development of state security, due to new challenges and threats, need to improve and implement new measures to prevent corruption as a negative impact of the main threats to national economic security. As a result of the study, the main measures to counter the main threats to the economic security of the state were identified.

환경세를 비롯한 경제적 유인수단이 직접규제 방식의 환경정책수단보다 비용 효율적이고 오염저감기술개발의 유인을 제공하는 장점이 있기 때문에 우리나라에서도 1990년대 들어서부터 환경세 도입 및 환경친화적 세제개편에 대한 논의가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 환경세가 무역경쟁력에 미치는 부정적 영향에 대한 우려가 현실적으로 환경친화적 세제개편을 단행하기 어려운 장애요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 환경세의 부정적인 파급효과를 최소화하기 위하여 환경세의 도입은 철저하고 신중한 사전 준비를 통하여 이루어져야 하는데, 본고에서는 이에 대한 기초연구로서 환경과 무역을 연계한 국제적 논의의 추세와 국내외 선행연구를 개관하고, 환경세가 무역에 미치는 영향에 대한 이론분석결과를 제시하였다. 환경세가 무역에 미치는 영향에 있어서는 다른 나라보다 높은 환경세를 부과하는 경우, 오염유발산업보다 친환경적인 산업이 무역에 있어서 가격경쟁력이 있다는 결과를 도출하였다. 이는 환경세를 도입하는 경우 친환경적인 산업에 경쟁력 인센티브를 제공하여 중장기적으로 오염저감기술을 개발하는 긍정적인 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 정부의 입장에서는 환경친화적인 산업 등을 육성, 지원하는 것이 환경개선과 동시에 무역부문에서의 국제경쟁력을 제고시키는 정책방향임을 시사한다.

The distribution sector is affected by a wide range of regulations. Many of these are related to health and safety, others are related to urban planning and environmental issues, whereas some mainly have an economic basis. But, regulations many be unduly restrictive, in which case they can drive up costs and ultimately prices, or they may, in some cases, reduce consumer choice. Unduly restrictive regulations could also increase costs indirectly, by reducing competition and thus lead to lower productivity growth. In the past few years, distribution sector has gone through drastic changes due to deregulation and market opening. Implementation of regulatory reforms served as an opportunity to change laws and systems which had been an obstacle to development of distribution sector. Market opening of distribution sector became a turning point to promote competition among domestic and foreign firms. However, for small and medium scale of the typical retail enterprises which were in no position to compete in terms of prices, additional facilities, and services, faced a threat of diminished trading area, and even of their existence. Because, large firms may have greater market power than small firms, as they can more easily extract favorable terms when procuring goods, and may also be able to deter entry by advertising outlays or access to the best sites. In addition, larger chain stores armied with sufficient capital dominated trading area and reduced customer's welfare by abusing their monopoly power when competing with other shops, and are often cited as an example of adverse effects of local monopoly. In order to minimize such adverse effects and to foster competition, regulatory reforms in distribution sector should set its goal to promote sound and stable distribution activities through market principle and restoring competition principle, and ultimately to boost customers welfare. Therefore, deregulation in distribution sector should be implemented in a way to promote customers welfare, eliminate entry barriers, and expand competition principle such as productivity and efficiency competition. However, it should be also recognized that deregulation of system alone is not enough to develop the distribution sector. To compete in a increasingly concentrated industry, small enterprises increasingly engage in co-operative arrangements, such as buying groups, strategic alliances or franchise agreements.

지금으로부터 500년 전에 발생했던 루터의 종교개혁은 교회 안의 부패와 모순, 성경신학적 문제들을 세상에 드러내면서 성경과 초대교회의 가르침으로 돌아가자고 주장했던 "교회 안"만의 개혁이 아니었다. 그로 인해 시작된 종교개혁은 사회 전반적인 모든 분야에 영향을 미쳤고 중세에서 근세로 넘어가는 결정적인 디딤돌이 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 16세기에 발생했던 루터의 종교개혁 과정에서 분명하게 드러났던 사회복지개혁적 특징이 무엇이었는지를 살펴보고 그것을 현대 기독교적 입장, 특별히 선교적 교회의 관점에서 어떻게 적용할 수 있는지를 제안하는 것이었다. 따라서 본론에서는 이신칭의와 만인사제설 교리가 루터종교개혁의 사상적 토대였음을 확인하였고 신양약자와 여성들과 같이 사회적 약자들에 대한 특별한 관심을 가지면서 현실을 무시하지 않았던 종교개혁이 루터의 종교개혁적 특징임을 살펴보았다. 루터의 사회복지 정책으로는 크게 세 분야로 나누어 볼 수 있는데 가난한 자들을 위한 구호활동, 교육사업, 그리고 경제정책이었다. 그리고 마지막으로 오늘날 현대 기독교가 루터의 사회복지개혁적 특징들을 계승하여 발전시킬 사항으로 현실을 무시하지 않는 사회적 복지실천, 교회의 올바른 실천적인 사회책임 이해, 지역공동체를 위한 실제적 복지실천을 제안하였다.

과거부터 중국은 중화사상에 의해 주변국과 그 민족들을 자신의 세력권이라는 시각이었다. 이는 중국의 고유민족은 한족이고 그 외의 타민족들은 이민족이라는 것이다. 중국 덩샤오핑도 집권 이후, 개혁개방을 통해 급격한 경제성장을 이룩하면서 필요에 의한 패권주의 정책을 시행하고 있다. 대내적으로 타민족들을 억압·말살하기 위하여 타민족의 거주지역을 제한하거나 고유언어사용을 금지하고 있다. 대외적으로 영토확장을 위하여 역사와 문화를 왜곡·편입하는 '하상주단대공정', '중화문명탐원공정', '동북공정', '서북공정', '서남공정'을 전개하고 있다. 또한 개혁개방으로 자본주의가 발달하면서 원자재와 운송로 확보, 군사시설 확충, 수출시장 확대 등을 목적으로 일대일로를 개척하고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 중국은 관련국들의 정치, 경제, 영토 주권 등을 침해하기에 한국도 중국과 관련한 정치, 경제, 역사, 문화 등의 분야에 관한 대(對)중국정책을 재검토할 필요가 있다.

Objectives: The health system reform process is highly political and controversial, and in most cases, it fails to realize its intended goals. This study was conducted to synthesize factors underlying the failure of health system reforms. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-synthesis, we searched 9 international and regional databases to identify qualitative and mixed-methods studies published up to December 2019. Using thematic synthesis, we analyzed the data. We utilized the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist for quality assessment. Results: After application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 40 of 1837 articles were included in the content analysis. The identified factors were organized into 7 main themes and 32 sub-themes. The main themes included: (1) reforms initiators' attitudes and knowledge; (2) weakness of political support; (3) lack of interest group support; (4) insufficient comprehensiveness of the reform; (5) problems related to the implementation of the reform; (6) harmful consequences of reform implementation; and (7) the political, economic, cultural, and social conditions of the society in which the reform takes place. Conclusions: Health system reform is a deep and extensive process, and shortcomings and weaknesses in each step have overcome health reform attempts in many countries. Awareness of these failure factors and appropriate responses to these issues can help policymakers properly plan and implement future reform programs and achieve the ultimate goals of reform: to improve the quantity and quality of health services and the health of society.

Recent changes in the dynamics of national economies, market liberalization, changes in technologies and movement of capital have had a major effect on the Asian Pacific region since the early 1990's, as there has been an increasing role for foreign housing developers in those countries that experienced economic liberalization, high urbanization rates and reforms in the housing sectors. Recently the cosmopolitan cities of Indonesia attracted a global interest due to its rapid economic development and great potential of population and natural resources. New town development emerged as one of the solutions to reduce urbanization problems in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the contemporary planning principles of new town developments in representative new town projects supplied by of major housing development companies in Indonesia. We conducted case study on the new town named Kota Baru Parahyangan, which is located in outskirt of Bandung, the third biggest city in Indonesia and supplied by PT. Belaputra Intiland. As a result of this study, we can identify unique characteristics of new town development in Indonesia.
