The current study explains how corruption, terrorism, political stability and oil price has an effect on on the Iraq stock exchange utilizing corruption perception index as a proxy of corruption, global terrorism index as proxy for terrorism, political stability and oil price with ISX60 index as proxy of stock market for the period (2005-2019) using Ordinary Least Square method. The results show that the level of corruption, terrorism activities and political stability coefficient is significantly positive with Iraq stock exchange. In contrast, the oil price coefficient is significantly negative with Iraq stock exchange, which means that lower levels of corruption, less terrorism activities and more stability in political system have strong influence on stock market development in Iraq. The study concludes that the explanatory variables are important for Iraq stock exchange. Hence, the study suggests the policy makers to develop stock market by implementing policies and strategies to overcome high level of corruption, terrorism activities especially after ISIS/ISIL announcement has been made public. There is a need for transparency and creating stable political environment through good governance practices in order to attract more foreign investment and promote economic development. Factors like terrorism and corruption make economic and political systems unstable and has an adverse effect on on Iraq's stock exchange performance.

본 논문은 브라질 현지에 진출하여 직접 경영활동을 수행하고 있는 한국기업들이 직면하고 있는 정치적 환경요인이 무엇인가를 규명하고 이에 어떠한 대응책을 마련하여 경영활동을 전개하고 있는 가를 밝히기 위한 것이라 할 수 있다. 기업의 경영활동에 영향을 미치는 일반 환경요인과 산업 환경요인 중에서 일반 환경요인으로 연구의 대상을 제한하였는데 그 이유는 기업이 오히려 일반 환경에 대한 분석을 체계적으로 실행하고 있지 않다는 지적이 있기 때문이다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 일반 환경요인 중에서 정치적 환경요인만을 분석에 대상에서 포함시켰는데 기업의 현지경영활동에 가장 직접적이고 가시적인 영향력을 가장 강력하게 행사하고 있다는 판단 때문이다. 선행연구를 통해 문헌분석을 실행하였고 이를 토대로 연구가설을 설립한 후 이를 검증하기 위한 실증분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 현지의 행정 관료의 비합리적 행태들과 관련 법 시스템의 임의적인 적용환경에 대응하기 위하여 합리적인 적응과 인간관계의 강화 등의 현지경영전략을 실행하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 활용한 통계분석 프로그램은 기술통계를 위해서는 SPSS 12.0 그리고 추리통계에는 AMOS 12.0 등이다.

Purpose - Drawing on relational institutional theory, we explored how demographic similarity between board members of a firm and newly emerged political elites led to firms' increased financial resource acquisition such as leverage ratio and decreased export intensity amidst the Asian financial crisis. We also studied how a firm's leverage ratio and export intensity can further affect firm profitability and financial credit rating. Design/methodology - We revisited and explored a unique, unprecedented crisis that affected most Korean firms: the Asian financial crisis that coincided with a governmental shift from a conservative to a liberal party. We collected demographic information from 432 listed Korean firms' board members and 43 political elites of the Blue House from 1998-2000 to create a demographic similarity measurement. We collected firms' financial information, built panel data, and used ordinary least squares regression to test our theory. Findings - Our results showed that demographic similarity between a firm's directors and newly emerged politicians had a positive association with a firm's leverage ratio but a negative association with a firm's export intensity. A firm's leverage ratio had a negative relationship with firm performance measured by firm profitability and financial credit rating. A firm's export intensity showed a positive effect on firm performance. Originality/value - We highlighted that during an economic crisis that coincided with a governmental shift and change of leading political actors, firms exerted efforts to survey the environment and build new external stakeholder relationships to cope with the changing landscape. We proposed that in an emerging market like Korea where low levels of trust and favoritism are prevalent across society, one of the relational institutional strategies that firms can employ is the selection of directors with similar demographic characteristics to political elites based on factors including birthplace and school affiliations. We examined the efforts of firms to build political networks with newly empowered political elites during a financial crisis, and the consequences of establishing such networks. We highlighted that during a financial crisis, the demographic similarity between a firm's board members and newly emerged politicians can provide firms with access to financial resources but can also result in poor management and reduced effort to enhance its international competitiveness.

Environment standards can be used as a foundation of environment administration (specific expression of political goals or quantitative evaluation standards of political effects). When environment adminstration improves severe air or water pollution rapidly, the environment standard can work effectively to show the goals specifically and clearly. The environment index which is designed to evaluate environment systems, should be established to express the environment system generally. To realize sustainable development, the sustainable indexes usually consisting of these three areas in that harmony of environment, economy and society are required. In this research, sustainable environmental indicators to understand the characteristics and to compare likes theme of environmental conditions in international and national level indicators, regional environmental management plan to promote the management by objectives are to provide the basic data. It is desirable for the environmental policies to work harmoniously with direct control, use of economic means and voluntary methods. Regarding the evaluation of environmental index, the action results of civilian's or individual's activities are needed to be reflected into the evaluation.

이 연구는 유튜브 시사정치채널 이용자들의 뉴스 인식에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 탐색하는데 주된 목적이 있다. 기존 연구들은 언론과 유사한 역할을 수행하는 유튜브 채널들의 여론 영향력을 정치적 양극화, 가짜뉴스, 확증 편향 등의 측면에서 살펴보고 규범적 비판을 제공하는 데 치중되어 있다. 이 연구는 그러나 유튜브 등장과 더불어 이용자 뉴스 인식에 나타난 변화와 의미를 살펴보고자 했다. 이를 위해 유튜브 시사정치채널 이용 경험이 있는 이용자 대상 온라인 서베이를 시행했다. 연구 결과 유튜브 시사정치채널 이용자들의 뉴스 관점은 전문직 저널리즘 관점에서의 뉴스 인식과 더불어 디지털 환경에서 새롭게 추가된 뉴스 인식이 혼재되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 토대로 연구자는 플랫폼 환경에 대한 전문직주의 언론의 대응 방향에 관한 함의를 검토해 보았다.

이 연구의 목적은 방송통신 융합 환경을 설명하는 하나의 인식론이자 접근 방법으로서 정치경제학의 가치를 재고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위해 기존 정치경제학 연구의 특징과 맹점을 밝히고 변화하고 있는 미디어 환경의 특징적 현상을 도출함으로써 정치경제학이 본격적으로 다루어야 할 영역이 무엇인가를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 정치경제학의 역사적 총체성이란 거시적 문제 틀을 방송통신 융합 시대에 새롭게 조명할 필요가 있다는 점을 지적했으며, 그에 입각해서 정치경제학의 원리와 연구경향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 미디어 자본의 소유구조에 대한 비판만으로 정치경제학의 범위를 한정시켰던 '경제주의 적' 경향을 극복하기 위해서 수용자 이론의 적극적 재개념화가 필요하다는 점을 강조했다. 아울러 재개념화의 이론적 출발점으로 신자유주의적 시장론의 문제점, 능동적 수용자론의 왜곡, 수용자 상품론의 한계와 창조적 긴장을 논의했다. 마지막으로 이 연구는 미디어 정치학의 현장 속으로 들어가기 위한 수용자 중심의 정책 이념의 확보 방안을 제안했다.
