In the race for establishing trading architecture consistent with new landscape of the global economy, the US is ahead of the game by concluding the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement with 11 countries. To make it reality, the ratification is essential. In the battle for ratification in the US, declining globalism confronts rising protectionism. This paper models the ratification process as contest between globalism and protectionism, and analyzes the optimal timing for ratification. Based on this framework, various ratification scenarios are analyzed. The paper argues less likelihood for the lame-duck session passage and more likelihood for prolonged and protracted delay, due to changing political dynamics and declining intellectual support for globalism. Hence, the future of Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement may prove different, compared to the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement, both of which were renegotiated and ratified eventually. Then, the US would lose the first move advantage. The paper also discusses strategic implications of delayed ratification on the evolution of trading architecture in East Asia.

2007년 4월에 타결된 한-EU FTA가 2011년 5월 국회에서 의결되어 비준이 체결되었다. 한-EU FTA가 타결되어 비준화 됨에 따라 법률서비스 시장개방절차는 1단계로서 EU 회원국 로펌의 국내 대표 사무소(외국법자문법률사무소)의 설립이 허용되고, 2단계는 외국법자문법률사무소가 국내로펌과 국내외법이 혼재된 사건을 공동처리 및 이익분배가 가능해진다. 3단계로는 EU 회원국 로펌이 국내 로펌과 합작기업 설립이 허용된다. 본 논문에서는 한-EU FTA 비중에 따른 법률서비스와 포렌식 수사에 미치는 변화와 영향을 연구한다. 또한 법률 증거의 대부분을 차지하는 디지털 포렌식 증거가 공판중심주의 속에서 차지하는 위치와 전망을 연구한다. 전문증거로서 디지털 증거가 재판에 미치는 영향을 예측하여, 법률시장 개방화에 대처할 수 있으며, 영미법계의 로펌의 국내시장에 진출에 슬기롭게 대비할 수 있을 것이다.

유엔환경기구는 잔류성유기오염물질(persistent organic pollutants, POPs)의 생산 및 유통을 억제하기 위한 국제금지협약을 2001년 5월 22일 채택하였다. 이 협약은 151개 승인국 중 59개국으로부터 비준을 얻어 2004년 5월 17일 발효되었다. 한국은 2001년 10월 4일 승인한 이후 본 협약의 비준에 대비하여 등재된 물질에 대한 체계적인 조사를 시행하였다. 문헌 및 사례조사를 통하여 특정면제품목의 가능성이 chlordane, dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), hexachlorobenzenes (HCB), heptachlor, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)에서 발견되었다. 하지만 보다 상세한 추후 조사에 의하여 특정면제품목의 작성 없이 본 협약에 가입할 수 있게 되었다.

A global binding agreement was adopted with the leading of United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) on May 22, 2001 in Stockholm to regulate the production and distribution on persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The agreement took effectuation with the ratification of 59 countries from the approval of 151 countries on May 17, 2004. After the approval on October 4, 2001, South Korea performed systematical investigation on POP-related substances such as chlordane, dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), hexachlorobenzenes (HCB), heptachlor, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to get ready for the ratification of the convention with country-specific exemption. The domestic distributions of those chemical substances have been officially prohibited since the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Although there were occasional reports for the detection of some of those chemical substances, those performed minute signification in their existence in the environment. A series of investigation with documentary examination and fact-finding survey showed the possibility for the ratification on the convention without country-specific exemption.

This study examined the comparative advantage of manmade textile (MMT) industries in the United States (US) and South Korea (SK). The Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) framework was used to assess the MMT industries' performance in both countries from 2004 to 2013. With the recent ratification of the United States-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA), it is important to understand the current state of these industries. Using UN Comtrade export data, the RCA index values were calculated and analyzed for 27 MMT commodities, three aggregate groups, and the whole industry. It was found that SK had a consistent comparative advantage for the whole industry. Furthermore, SK had a larger number of products with a comparative advantage. The research findings indicate that the MMT industry in SK is likely to outperform the US following the complete ratification of the KORUS FTA.

This paper investigates how public opinion has affected the United States Senate's votes on arms control treaties. Applying multilevel modeling with post-stratification to national polls, this paper produces estimates of state-level opinion on both the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010 and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty of 1999. Using these estimate, this paper examines the relationship between public opinion and the Senate's votes on the treaties. This paper finds that the influence of public opinion was mostly significant but indirect. These findings indicate that some version of the delegate model of representation is more applicable to foreign policy making in Congress.

The purpose of this paper is to analysis the legal aspects of e-commerce, particularly those relate to electronic contract, in China On 23 November 2005, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts, known popularly as the Electronic Communications Convention. China signed it but the convention is not binding yet as it still requires the ratification by three states. On the other hand, China adopted a new act legalizing the electronic signature in 2004. This new act provides electronic signatures with the same legal status as handwritten signatures. But the efficiencies that business hopes to achieve through electronic commerce are not completely reflected in the legal processes necessary to support those hopes.

As ratification of the Stockholm Convention to eliminate or reduce the release of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the environment draws near, the Government and industries are actively developing appropriate management and control measures. However, considerable work is needed in order to clarify vast uncertainties imposed in management and control of POPs while handling POPs is extremely difficult because of their toxicity and low levels in the environment. In this note, some major factors to be considered for effective management and control of POPs are reviewed on the basis of recent findings.
