전세계적으로 불안정 노동자들이 증가하면서 이들의 열악한 노동권 및 노동조건이 이슈가 되고 있지만 이들의 이익을 어떻게 대변할 것인가는 여전히 논란이 되고 있다. 노동자들의 노동권 보장 및 향상을 위한 제도적 장치는 노동조합이지만, 특정 작업장 또는 기업 중심의 노동조합은 고용안정성을 결여한 노동자들의 노동권익을 온전히 대변하기 어렵기 때문이다. 이에 최근 불안정 노동자들을 대표하는 독자적인 기구로서 커뮤니티유니온이 미국, 영국, 일본 등지에서 등장하고 있다. 이는 기업이나 작업장이 아닌 지역을 기반으로 노동자 개인이 직접 가입하는 방식을 취하는 조직형태로, 실업자와 구직자, 소규모 작업장에 일하거나 단기계약 혹은 간접고용 노동자들을 포괄하는 데 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 한국에서는 1997년 금융위기 이후 비정규직, 단기 계약직 등 불안정 노동자들이 급증하면서 이들의 노동권을 보장하기 위해 청년유니온, 아르바이트노동조합, 예술인소셜유니온, 뮤지션유니온 등 기존과는 다른 새로운 형태의 커뮤니티유니온이 등장하고 있다. 이들은 불안정노동자들의 노동권익 보장을 위해 여러 활동을 전개하고 있으며, 최근 학계에서도 이러한 새로운 노동조합형태를 규명하려는 시도가 시작되고 있다. 본 연구는 대안적 노동조합 논의에 기여하고자 한국에서 자생한 여러 대안노동조합을 비교분석하고자 한다. 대표적 대안조직인 청년유니온과 아르바이트노동조합의 조직간 동질성과 이질성을 규명함으로써 한국의 대안노동조합조직의 방향성 논의를 위한 초석을 마련하는 데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 커뮤니티유니온에 대한 이론적 논의에서 시작하여, 커뮤니티유니온의 5가지 특성(멤버십 구조 및 조직구조, 인정투쟁, 관심 범위, 다른 조직과의 연대, 저항 및 활동 방식)을 중심으로 두 조직을 비교 및 평가할 것이다. 궁극적으로 본 연구는 커뮤니티유니온이 한국사회에서 앞으로 어떻게 발전하게 될지 그 가능성을 모색하고자 한다.

This paper attempts to provide a way to improvement in trade & commerce between Korea and Russia, analyzing the influence of the circumstances of the Russian economy on economic relations between the two countries. The study briefly reviews the current situation of the Russian economy, and tries to examine the strong points to be considered as leverage for cooperation and the weak points to be overcome. Previous studies have determined that the Russian economy has unlimited potential for growth, because it is endowed with abundant resources, and has a government willing to reform for the opening of the economy, as well as high-quality labor. However, the economic structure is vulnerable to impact of the worldwide financial crisis. It is not possible to overlook its institutional fragility and vulnerability such as a corrupt bureaucracy or a relatively large black market. These undesirable factors may not only undermine the basis of Russia economy but also a hindrance to economic cooperation by increasing economic uncertainty. This paper attempts to analyze comprehensively the socio-economic factors that influence the open-economy of Russia, and to illustrate strategies for improvement in trade and commerce through the viewpoint of Korean firms that are already in business or are trying to enter in the near future. Some measures to improve their economic cooperation are suggested at the end.

Shipbuilding industry is one of the most influential ones in Korea. As shipbuilding industry is labor-intensive, it contributes to enhancing both local economy and national economy. Shipbuilding industry has been downsizing since the end of 2008 due to global financial crisis caused by America's sub-prime mortgage and aggravated by European countries' fiscal deficit. As a large fund is required for a single normal shipbuilding contract, fund raising is one of the most important elements in shipbuilding contract. Shipbuilding contract, requires refund guarantee in order for a buyer to reimburse the progressive payment paid to a builder. The disputes under shipbuilding contracts are mostly settled by arbitration rather than by law suit. English laws and English courts have been preferred for the choice of law as well as for the choice of forum. Due to depreciation of the ship value since the end of 2008, a number of buyers are trying to cancel the contract by raising unjust claim under the contract. Once disputes occurs regarding shipbuilding contract, a large amount of loss is inevitable. In order to mitigate the disputes arising from the shipbuilding contract, careful caution is required in drafting a shipbuilding contract.

This study examined the retirement adaptation process for middle-aged and elderly couples. Twelve couples who had experienced retirement were recruited by theoretical sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed through the grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998). This study showed the results of 124 concepts, 41 sub-categories and 17 categories indicated through an open coding process. As a paradigm in axial coding, the causal conditions in the adjustment procedures of elderly couples whose spouses are retired were 'retirement preparation,' 'retirement acceptance,' and 'marital satisfaction.' A central phenomenon was 'crisis and conflicts of twilight couples.' The contextual conditions that correspond to this phenomenon were 'psychological separation from adult children,' 'division of household labor,' and 'economic status.' The action/interaction strategies to control the phenomenon were 'recognition of marital relationships,' 'conflicts coping,' 'resolution methods,' and 'self-reflection.' The intervening conditions that facilitate action/interaction strategies were 'attitudes of husbands,' 'mutual awareness of couple,' 'health status,' and 'support systems.' The consequences were 'readaptation of marital relationships,' and 'unresolved conflicts,' and 'trying alone.' This research classified middle-aged and elderly couples' adaptation into three types such as mutual effort, separation & resignation, and conflicts vestige. The findings provide basic information to develop a retirement adaptation program for the middle-aged and elderly.

This is a descriptive study that introduces programs that support family caregivers looking after the elderly, by focusing on the case of Georgia, in the United States. The U.S. is one of the few countries that support family caregivers by law. In this study, we focus on the evidence-based interventions implemented through the Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP), a federal policy that complements the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). Our findings show that one-on-one evidence-based programs (EBPs) for family caregivers are both economical and effective in assisting caregivers. In our discussion, we highlight how the implementation of the latest EBPs can build an infrastructure to support family caregivers. ADSSP funding is useful as it constructs a caregiver support through the implementation of programs in the local community. The result is the creation of a well-coordinated division of labor among government agencies, academia and NGOs, which produces a synergetic effect in funding, research and development, translation and implementation of programs, and staff training. We conclude that the implementation of EBPs funded by the government is a useful reference for Korea and other rapidly aging countries, if we are to create an infrastructure for caregiver support, which can effectively prevent a crisis in caregiving.

This paper attempts to assess the impact and implication of globalization on social welfare in Korea. It is no easy task to give an exact definition of globalization and the concept has been used in many different senses, that is, economic, social, cultural, political globalization. In particular, the meaning of globalization is connected to the rise and expansion of neo-liberalism. Globalization tends to undermine national welfare systems by the social dumping, race to the bottom, privatization of social services, labor market flexibility. On the other hand, in many studies the negative impact of globalization on social welfare has been questioned. Instead of end or erosion of the welfare systems, it is emphasized that competitiveness and welfare may go hand in hand. We investigate the question what and how the social welfare system in Korea has been changed in globalization process. In order to answer, this paper examines the changes in welfare ideology, welfare programs, social stratification level after economic crisis. The result of analysis is that in contrast to globalist expectations which is to retrench social welfare, paradoxically, the welfare system in Korea has been reinforced in globalization process. Therefore, the alleged impact of globalization on social welfare will be independent on the structure of domestic institution, political legacies, and on the socialization of global politics such as IMF, World Bank, ILO, UNDP, etc., on the welfare politics of stakeholders in national state.
