대외적으로 중국의 경제 성장과 항만의 급속한 발전은 환황해경제블록(Pan Yellow Sea Economic Bloc)의 규모와 역내 교역을 크게 증대시켜 우리나라 서해안권의 발전을 유도하고 있다. 국내적으로는 중국이 제1의 교역 대상국으로 바뀌면서 국가경제의 성장 축이 경부축에서 서해안축으로 중심이동을 하고 있다. 이러한 현상을 반영하듯 국내의 각종 통계지표와 컨테이너 및 비 컨테이너부문의 물동량예측에서 서해안에 위치한 항만들은 높은 성장세를 지속하고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구에서는 서해안시대를 주도할 새로운 중심지로서 잠재력이 높은 새만금지역을 대상으로 하여 발전가능성을 모색하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 연구의 결과, 새만금항만은 한중간의 공급사슬의 확대 및 항만간 네트워크 증대측면에서 향후 발전가능성이 확인되었다. 또한 환황해권의 교류증가, 중국항만 시설부족에 따른 환적화물 처리 등의 여러 가지 변수에 의하여 성장잠재력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하항의 근본적인 한계에 직면해 있는 군산항의 보완적인 측면에서 새만금 방조제를 통하여 인접지역(새만금 지역)을 연계하여 개발하는 것은 시대변화에 부응하는 바람직한 방향으로 분석되었다.

It is well recognized that the availability of prompt, effective and economical means of dispute resolution is an important element in the orderly growth and encouragement of international trade and investment. Increasingly, arbitration, instead of litigation in national courts, has become the preferred means of resolving private international commercial disputes. Under the situation, it will be important thing for arbitral institutions to reach an agreement to promote the dispute settlement of the commercial disputes, for which efforts have been made between the Korean Commercial Arbitral Board(KCAB) and principal arbitration institutions of the foreign countries. Since 1973, the KCAB has entered into many arbitration agreements with well-known foreign institutions of arbitration. If the place of arbitration is not so designated by the parties, it, as a general rule, shall be the country of the respondent(s) under the Korea-Japanese Arbitration Agreement. On the other hand, the U.S.-Korean Commercial Arbitration Agreement maintains 'Joint Arbitration Committee which finally decide the place of arbitration. In 1996, the Korea-Austria Agreement of Cooperation was concluded for the prompt and equitable settlement on an amicable basis of commercial disputes. Under this Agreement, arbitral institutions between Korea and Austria agreed to act as an appointing authority in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. It is also very important for Korea and China including North Korea to cooperate each other for the settlement of the commercial disputes within the Pan Yellow Sea Economic Bloc(PYSEB). The PYSEB is quickly becoming a distinctive and crucial region in the world sharing geographical proximity, many common historical experiences, and similar cultural norms and values although they have disparities in stages of development, trade and economic policies, and financial and legal frameworks. Finally, it should be considered to establish a central common system for settlement promotion of the commercial disputes within the PYSEB through the arbitration agreement. Such a dispute resolution system was already introduced and established within the area of the NAFTA, and it is called the Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas(CAMCA).
