This study calculates comprehensive regional innovation potentials of the 16 provincial governments of Korea based on the 20 indices from 3 fields such as regional innovation infrastructure, regional innovation activities, and regional innovation performance. Except regional innovation activities supported by the central government's regional innovation grant program, there are disparities of the 3 innovation fields between the Seoul Metropolitan Area and non-Seoul areas. In some local provinces where the comprehensive innovation capacities are low, there are significant disparities among the 3 innovation fields. These provincial governments should support a policy to adjust the disparities for the sustainable regional innovation.

The regional security and stability in Northeast Asia has become more complicated because of a sudden establishment of China's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on 23 November 2013. One dimensional conflicts on the territorial sovereignty over the islands between the regional States has developed into the two dimensional conflicts like maritime delimitations among the States concerned since they have all ratified the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which adopts the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone regime. Moreover, due to the notion of the outer limit of the continental shelf, the conflicts have developed into three dimensional ones in order to acquire more natural resources even in the seabed. To make matters worse, such three dimensional conflicts have expanded to the airspace as well. The paper will analyze what implications the sudden declaration of China's ADIZ have for the regional security in Northeast Asia from the perspectives of public international law. To this end, the paper 1) starts with the debates on the legal nature of the ADIZ, 2) identifies the Chinese government's political motives for the establishment of the ADIZ over the East China Sea, 3) assesses the responses of the regional States and the USA to the China's establishment of the ADIZ, and then 4) discuss what implications the overlapped ADIZ of the three key States in the region have for the regional security and stability.

This study examines the relationship between public service satisfaction, trust in local government, and community satisfaction. Previous studies on community satisfaction have insufficiently dealt with public services or trust in local government and have not fully conducted an integrated analysis. To close these knowledge gaps, this study includes public service satisfaction that was constructed with the subcomponents economic support, education, and public safety and trust in local government as factors affecting community satisfaction. Moreover, this study verified the mediating effect of trust in local government between public service satisfaction and community satisfaction. Online surveys were carried out with 980 residents in Jeonbuk, Korea, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed. The results indicated that public service satisfaction affected community satisfaction directly or indirectly. In particular, the satisfaction with public safety influenced community satisfaction both directly and indirectly. In addition, trust in local government had a mediating effect between all sub-components of public service satisfaction and community satisfaction. Today, regional disparity between urban and rural areas in developing countries is widening. As a result, residents in rural areas are gradually moving to urban areas. Therefore, rural areas need to increase the community satisfaction of their residents. In this regard, this study suggests important policy implications for community satisfaction enhancement.

The economic renovation in Vietnam has shown promising achievements. The process of reforming and equitizing state-owned enterprises, and reducing subsidies from the government have made significant progress since 1986. However, this policy has not received the adequate valuation from leaders. Big companies have not been equitized, and are still managed and subsidized by the government, resulted in budget losses. Corporations have been dominated by political interests. This has led to arguments for better and more feasible measures which could save national budget. Corruption in Vietnam mostly originates from state-owned enterprises, for the monopoly was given by government to those enterprises as foreign partners continue to compete under market-oriented mechanism and transparent supervision. Therefore, renovation of the business mechanism, as well as speeding up equitization and minimizing people's properties, have become crucial in the regional integration trend. This is entirely a vital factor in the renovation process. This study explores plans, as well as the merits of the renovation process in Vietnam, ultimately envisioning to overcome current consequences and motivate Vietnam's economy.

This study analyzes the regional industrial policies of Daegu based on previous discussions on the concepts and characteristics of regional industrial policies in Korea. Because of the institutional limitations of regional industrial policies in Korea, the industrial policies of Daegu are more government-led in planning and promoting industrial development. In addition, regional industrial policies have been established and executed not as regional policies but as part of sectional policies, and are not properly connected to other regional development policies. What is more, the step-by-step objectives of industrial policies are not defined clearly and, as a result, the means of the policies are not specific. In order to overcome these problems, there should be a paradigmatic transition in making regional industrial policies, which reflects not only economic factors but also the social and cultural factors of the region. Moreover, place-based policies should be planned and promoted that categorize areas subject to the policies through comprehended analysis of regional industrial environment and combine means by section.

This study aims at analysing basic operational grounds of regional financial institutions in Pusan. Since 1980s many papers have discussed the issues how to develop the regional financial market. But they have neglected regional financial institutions and failed to clarify their roles in the regional economy. Recently the central government expels many regional financial institutions under financial distresses from the regional financial market without assessing their roles in the regional economy. This paper shows that regional financial institutions are indispensible for the stability and development of the regional economy, especially because they can supply credit to the small firms and households which have vulnerable credit standings and are tightly constrained in their access to bank credit. This paper also examines how credit unions deal with the problems caused by asymmetric information after the collapse of solidarity.

This paper is to consider the new urbanization process of Daegu in the 1990s, especially with its economy, politics, social culture, environment and space. In the economic aspect, the industrial structure of Daegu has shifted from the manufacturing- centered economy to the service economy. But it has not yet overcome the linear frame of industrial structure still relying on the textile industry, though the degree of industrial specialization has increased in the part of the fabricated metal products and the precision and optical instrument. In the political situation that the implementation of the local self-government has made the relation between localities more competitive, the local government of Daegu has led a boom for boosting the regional economic growth, organizing private-public-research relations to improve the weakening regional investment and production function. In the social and cultural aspect of the new urbanization, the investment into the soft-ware facilities has been increased, and the urban festivals have been changed so as to revitalize the regional economy. In the environmental aspect, as the self-government system has launched, conflicts around values and interests of local governments have revealed frequently due to locations of infra-structures and of abhorrence facilities. Finally, seen from the spatial dimension of the city, the extension of residential areas and unregulated use of urban space have a result of inefficience of land-use, and this kind of unplanned outer expansion of the city has brought about with further separation of house and working place, and increasing distance of movements and the an urban spatial structure which requires more energy consumption.
