MERCOSUR, which is the biggest economic community in the Latin America, has great potential as Korea's export market with 220 million population and 2.8 trillion$ GDP. In the midst of global economic crises, the importance of MERCOSUR is highlighted with relatively sound economic growth. The average tariff rate of MERCOSUR is 10.4~12.2% which is almost same as that of Korea(12.2%), but the tariff rates on Korea's main export items such as auto, display, digital camera, mobile phone are as high as 20~30%, which means that Korea-MERCOSUR FTA will result in substantial growth of Korea's export. In pursuing Korea-MERCOSUR FTA, cooperations in natural resources, agriculture, mid-sized aircraft, construction and green energy as well as liberalization of commodity market are very important for Korea. To realize Korea-MERCOSUR FTA, it is essential to overcome the objections from the manufacturing sectors of MERCOSUR. So it is desirable to aim relatively low in terms of the level of liberalization at the beginning, and expand corporate and industrial cooperation between Korea and MERCOSUR's manufacturing industries.

MERCOSUR (Southern Cone Common Market, Latin American trade organization established in 1991, full members: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay; associate members: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) is the world's third largest economic union. It is a vital region that Korean corporations should enter to preoccupy the Latin American market. Since China and Japan are recently moving strongly to advance into MERCOSUR, Korea needs to work out measures to cope with the situation. In trading with MERCOSUR, it is very important to establish a strategic base in the market from a long-term perspective rather than to approach the market only as an exporting market. From this viewpoint, Korea should regard MERCOSUR as a market with which it should cooperate in terms of resources, beyond a market from which it imports raw materials. Helped by its advancement strategies varying according to regional markets and price competitiveness, China is bolstering its market share in these regions. In addition, China has built production bases focused on electric and electronics products. It is also increasing its investments in MERCOSUR as a stable raw material-providing base. To make inroads into MERCOSUR successfully, therefore, Korean enterprises should not regard it as a market where it disposes of stock goods, but should instead export technologically competitive goods to this region. Likewise, Korean companies should expand their investments in automotive parts and machinery in MERCOSUR. Furthermore, Korea should closely study international trading policies of MERCOSUR to clear away any possible obstacles of exports to this region and to prepare countermeasures so as to avoid possible damage from import regulations of MERCOSUR.

본 논문은 남미공동시장의 역내 비대칭성의 특징과 해소를 위한 지역개발협력 중 FOCEM의 사례를 다루고 있다. 서던콘지역 국가들은 남미공동 시장의 형성을 통해 역내 균등 성장을 기대하였다. 그러나 출범 초기부터 구조적 비대칭성을 지니고 있었던 남미공동시장은 통합이 진척됨에 따라 정책적 비대칭성 또한 노출하였다. 이러한 구조적·정책적 비대칭성은 기본적으로 역내 '특수지위'를 점하고 있는 브라질의 남미공동시장에 대한 압도적 영향 때문이다. 이러한 역내 비대칭성에 대해 파라과이는 최약소국으로서 차별적 대우를, 우루과이는 역내 시장자유화의 동등한 적용을 원하며 아르헨티나는 글로벌가치사슬에 기반한 역내 생산통합을 강조한다. 비대칭 성문제에서 있어 일종의 청원자의 위치에 있는 파라과이, 우루과이, 아르헨티나에 비해 브라질은 민족적 이해에 따라 여러 선택을 할 수 있다. 이러한 상황 하에서 남미공동시장은 역내 비대칭성 해소를 위해 일종의 지역재분배기제인 FOCEM(구조조정수렴기금)을 설립하였다. FOCEM은 파라과이의 예에서 보듯이 일부 개발지표의 개선을 통해 개발격차해소를 가져왔지만 여전히 재정상의 한계와 시행력 부족 등이 문제로 남아 있다. 지역재분배 기제의 활성화와 비대칭성 해소를 위한 정책 조정을 위해서는 초국적 거버넌스를 통한 적극적인 정책이 요구되지만 이는 일정 정도의 주권의 위임이 요청하기에 회원국들은 이에 대해 주저하는 상황이다. 남미공동시장의 역내 비대칭성에 대한 해소 노력에도 불구하고 역내 비대칭성과 개발격차는 여전히 문제로 남아 있으며 또한 개별 국가 내 불균등 또한 난제로 남아 있다.

Within the frame of the MERCOSUR (South Common Market), one of the most important goals to achieve by its member states is a better cost effective international cargo transportation system. For this purpose the project of developing a commercial waterway linking the east region of Uruguay with the south of Brazil has been under study for a number of years now. Because of the high costs involved on the development of such waterway, the project has been indefinitely delayed. It is our intention to show an alternative way to reduce the present obstacles by using a budget oriented approach in order to determine the vessel best suited to use on the proposed waterway. So far, every study related to the project has been focused on the amount of work needed to modify the environment in order to accommodate the hardware already available in the region. The conclusions show that the cost of opening and maintaining the required navigation channel is high enough to discourage investment; the added responsibility to take care of any environmental damage incurred during the building and/or operation of the waterway makes searching for a less costly and hazardous option an interesting challenge. The proposed terminal on the Cebollat? River would be located at the heart of the Uruguayan rice growing region. Uruguay exports 90% of its rice production, being Brazil its biggest buyer. Wood chips and clinker are the other types of cargo considered to use the proposed waterway in route to either Brazil or to overseas destinations through the deep water port of Rio Grande. Through the analysis of local data by a Geographical Information System, international regulations regarding inland waterways and shallow draught vessel characteristics, we seek to propose a cost efficient alternative to apply on this particular scenario.

한국 정부는 2003년 FTA 추진 로드맹에서 밝힌 '동시다발적이고 높은 수준의 포괄적인 FTA 추진 전략'에 따라서 칠레, 싱가포르, EU, MERCOSUR, ASEAN 등 세계 22개국과 FTA가 이미 발효되었거나 FTA 협상이 진행 또는 추진되고 있다 한 중 FTA 협상에서는 무엇보다 관세인하 전략의 추진과 함께 중국의 수입을 제한하고 있는 각종 비관세장벽의 철폐 노력이 필요하다. 동시에 중국 내 한국 기업의 경영환경을 개선시키는 노력과 함께 농산물뿐만 아니라 제조업 분야에서도 전방위적인 수입확대가 예상되므로 한 중 FTA 원산지 기준을 강화하는 등 중국을 경유한 우회수출 방지를 위한 노력도 매우 중요한 과제가 된다.

The rapid expansion of regionalism has resulted in the creation of blocs of the global economy, so that those countries not belonging to one or more blocs can be discrimiated. Though signed on the bill of FTA with Chile, Korea is actually alienated from major stream of the blocs. Therefore, Korea government makes efforts to contract more FTAs with countries such as Singapore and Japan, others. FTA is believed to be an important method to secure export and national competitiveness. Therefore, we need to exactly understand critical issues and the long-run effort of FTA. This paper tries to find out important issues and potential strategies relating to electronic commerce in Korea's FTA with other countries. In these means, relationship between FTA and e-Trade are closely related to global business chance. In these means, we should use FTA potentials for encouraging global commerce by e-Trade and develop e-FTA in the foreseeable future.

The purpose of this study is to promote trade between Korea and South American countries. Korea's trade with South America has decreased recently. This study analyzed the effects of arbitration on trade between Korea and South America. To this end, we conducted an analysis of the gravity model of trade between Korea and South America. The gravity model is a research method that is widely used to analyze the pattern of international trade. The dependent variables of the gravity model were trade in Korea and South America. The independent variables were GDP, population, and distance between Korea and South America. In addition, dummy variables were the FTA and whether to join the New York Convention or Washington Convention. Joining either Convention indicated the establishment of an international arbitration system. As a result, an arbitration system appeared to be effective in increasing trade. Depending on the results it shows the importance of utilizing the system of arbitration in South America. So this study analyzed the current status of arbitration in South America. To companies doing business in South America it provided the implications for an arbitration system there. Also it proposed a method for increasing trade for the Korean government and institutions.

International commercial arbitrations have developed into a simple form in which both parties involved in the dispute by a contract intend to solve the dispute through the legal arbitration system. however nowadays the above traditional form taken by international projects are rarely seen and instead the form of complex arbitration in which many parties are involved has become more and more universal. The complex arbitration means not only many-sided parties concerned but also means a plural number of contract involved in conflicts, a plural number of issues involved in conflicts and a plural number of contracts though their contractors are not in a plural number. However in this report the complex arbitrations will be studied into categories as follows : 1. Pure multi-issue situations, 2. Pure multi-party situations, 3. Pure multi-contract situations. A Pure Multi-Issue arbitration basically includes a plural number of claims between the two parties concerned. A Pure Multi-party case classically presupposes an arbitration clause which involves a plural number of parties concerned. After Party A takes a legal proceeding and then Party B institutes a request to Party C in the above proceeding. In that case the problem arises on whether it is allowed to do so or not. A Pure Multi-Contract case presupposes that when Party A and Party B have independent arbitration clauses based on separate contract relations, respectively, the problem is whether both above-mentioned proceedings can be unified into one or not. As for the above-mentioned complex arbitration, though international treaties are being formed, including the WTO treaties, the NAFTA treaties, the Mercosur treaties and others, legal regulations and customs have not yet been formed domestically. The institutional preparations will be necessitated in consideration of national legal status as well as international treaty relations.
