최근 EU는 무역협상에서 신통상이슈 및 비무역의제(NTA)를 통한 규범 확산을 주도해 왔다. 무역협상에서 선진국이 관세 등 무역 이외의 이슈인 NTA를 포함시키는 일은 오랜 기간 논란의 대상이었다. 이는 무역과 직접 적으로 연관이 없는 사회규범과 법·제도가 무역협상에 영향을 미치는 것이 타당한 가에 관한 논쟁이다. 이를테면 협상대상국의 노동법, 환경규제, 외 국인직접투자에 대한 규칙, 국영기업 운영 현황이나 중소기업에 대한 지원 등 다양한 영역에 대한 비무역 이슈들이 무역협상 라운드에 포함되어 왔 다. 본 논문은 무역협상에서의 신통상이슈 및 NTA 확산을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 구체적으로, 필자는 EU가 추진해 온 NTA 확산 현황을 조 사하고, 규범 영역에서 NTA가 어떻게 이슈 범위를 확장하고 있는가를 분 석하였다. 그 동안 EU는 NTA를 역내 시장을 보호하고, 다양한 이해관계 를 조정하는 도구로 활용하였다. 연구자는 삼차원게임이론에 관한 신진연 구에서도 NTA확산이 EU의 통상협상 전략이자 방향성임을 확인할 수 있 었다. 개발도상국들의 반대에도 불구하고 NTA가 무역협상에서 빠질 수 없는 요소로 등장하였다면, NTA의 확산 과정과 정당화하는 규범 형성 (norm creation)을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요한 과제이다.

한-아프리카 농식품 기술협력 협의체 (KAFACI)는 아프리카 농업 공통현안을 연구과제를 통하여 해결하고자 2010년에 출범하여 현재 한국 포함 20개국으로 구성되었다. 본 논문은 지난 10년간 회원국에서 수행한 결과를 바탕으로 KAFACI 회원 국과 비회원국 간의 양자 무역 흐름에 대한 국제 기술 협력의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석은 UN 상품 무역 통계 데이터베이스에서 2000년에서 2018년 동안 45 개 아프리카 국가 간의 양 자 무역 패널 데이터를 이용하였으며 국제 무역 중력 모델을 적용하였다. 또한, 내생성, 표본 선택 편의, 패널내의 상관관계 를 통제하는 표본 선택 기법을 적용한 핵크만 랜덤 효과 회귀 모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과 경험적 결과는 국제 기술 협력이 KAFACI 회원국과 비회원 국 간의 양자 무역 흐름에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다. 이러한 연구 결과 이 외에도 KAFACI는 회원국과 아프리카 이외의 주요 무역 파트 너 간의 양자 무역 흐름을 크게 늘렸을 가능성이 있지만 여기서는 다루지 않았다. 또한 KAFACI 회원국의 기술 채택 수준과 비율은 무역을 잠금 해제하기 위해 경제의 공급 측면에 영향을 미치는데 중요하지만 여기에서는 다루지 않았다.

China Pilot Free Trade Zone is a "policy practice zone," and China has already established 18 pilot FTZs since the approval of Shanghai Pilot FTZ in Sept. 2013.

Recent entry of new stage of China-Korea relations has great potential of complementary cooperation. As a "policy practice zone" of Chinese economic reform, Pilot FTZs have arranged business environment facilitated with legislation and internationalization, regulation system suitable for international trade-investment rules, and open financial environment through system innovation & reform in various fields such as investment, trade, and finance, etc. This is giving a new motivation for higher level and broadened area of China-Korea economic relations.

In the process of China’s modernization of social and economic development, China has gradually expanded the scope of foreign trade, especially the deepening of economic and trade cooperation with South Korea, and the steady growth of bilateral trade and investment. However, during this period, it will be affected by internal and external factors, leading to the increasing trade deficit between China and South Korea. The frequent occurrence of trade friction has caused a serious impact on the economic and trade development of China and South Korea. Therefore, in the actual work, it is necessary to respond flexibly to the challenges, meet the opportunities and adopt scientific countermeasures according to the development status of Sino-South Korea economic and trade cooperation, so as to promote the continuous progress of the two countries’ economic and trade.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea for decades, the trade relations between the two countries have been developing towards a positive trend. Especially in recent years, for South Korea, China has become its largest trading partner, largest source of imports, and largest export destination. In contrast, for China, South Korea has also become an extremely important trading partner of China on a global scale. It can be seen that the development of China-South Korea economic and trade cooperation is an indispensable key force in the foreign trade of China and South Korea. In view of this, this article focuses on China-Korea economic and trade cooperation, discusses the development practice of China-Korea economic and trade cooperation, analyzes the opportunities and challenges in detail based on the current situation, and puts forward some countermeasures for reference only.

In recent years, with the development of economic globalization and the promotion of modern media technology, cultural enterprises such as publishing, entertainment and new media have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and made significant contributions to economic growth, which not only increased China's financial revenue, but also promoted product export and improved its international image. Although the digital cultural trade of Chinese enterprises started relatively late, it has already formed a certain scale and has a good development prospect in the international development and cooperative operation. Since the signing of the cooperation agreement between China and South Korea in June 2015, it has largely promoted the development of enterprises’ digital cultural trade. By comparing the digital development of cultural trade between Chinese and Korean enterprises, this paper points out the current problems faced by Chinese enterprises in the internationalization development, and gives practical suggestions.

"One belt, one road" initiative has the potential to create greater opportunities for the logistics sector in China-Korea FTA. According to the signing and negotiating of the China -Korea Free Trade Agreement will build a comprehensive institutional framework for the trade, investment and cooperation within the two countries, promote the opening of each others market and push forward the integral development and prosperity of the regional economy. The logistics related system in China is dispersed over different，regulations，international rules and technological specifications of every links of logistics；so there is the lack of system aticness，coordination，legal force and international perspective of this system. China should promote the standardization of logistics related system and regulation，establish an independent and uniformed logistics department，and accelerate amendment of related system to meet the requirement of the development of times.
