INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TWO KOREAS : CONTRASTS, COMMONALITIES,CHALLENGES

Beal, Tim 연세대학교 동서문제연구원 2001 Global economic review Vol.30 No.4

The contrast between the two Koreas in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is stark. The South is a world leader in ICT and South Koreans are addicted to the Internet. The Internet scarcely exists in the North and few have access to it. Nevertheless, despite internal and external constraints, the North has many of the attributes, and the aspirations, of developed countries and ICT is a priority area. The North has carved out a niche in computer animation and is pushing to develop software exports. Will it be able to overcome current difficulties and dangers and join the digital revolution?

Student-Centered Education as a Strategy and Platform for Frontier Missionary Work

Douglas Beal 중동아프리카연구소 2018 아랍과 이슬람 세계 Vol.5 No.-

Over the last decades, the field of education has declined as a ministry of mission organizations. This paper highlights reminders from mission education in Zimbabwe, tracing the author’s education passion through the author’s uncle, Tillman Houser, who served from 1948 to 1981 among the Shangaan-Hlengwe tribe in Zimbabwe with the American Free Methodist mission. From the author’s personal experiences in various Christian educational initiatives over 12 years in Jordan and Egypt, the paper states the case for increasing involvement in education to give missionaries and mission organizations a valid reason to place personnel in a country. Background research includes the work of Robert Woodberry, a sociologist who writes about the positive impact of missions education on nations in modern times, and includes, and other scholarship to show that in Muslim societies, teaching engages and benefits diverse people groups in an efficient manner while witnessing to the wider community. In nations of the Muslims world, families, communities and governments desire education that deepens literacy and creates critical thinking. In the view of this paper, this type of education benefits a Christian community and is also effective evangelism. The conclusion shares practical lessons the author learned working in schools in Cairo, Egypt.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES AND BLIGHTED PROMISE: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS FOR DPRK TOURISM

Tim Beal 통일연구원 2001 International journal of korean unification studie Vol.10 No.2

For many countries international tourism has been a significant driver of economic growth, particularly over the last half century. International inbound tourism to the ROK is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating mainly from the Seoul Olympics, but by 2000 it was, according to World Tourism Organization (WTO) data, the 7th largest market in East Asia, outstripping Japan. Although tourism to the DPRK has captured attention recently, with the Hyundai Asan Kumgangsan venture, it is at a far lower level than ROK tourism. Because of the DPRK’s particular international situation, inbound tourism has never been a feasible option until recently, although the country did join the WTO in 1987. Many countries, particularly ROK and the United States, expressly prohibited their citizens from visiting the DPRK and those countries which were friendly, such as the then Soviet Union or China, did not generate outbound tourism. Kim Dae-jung’s ‘sunshine policy,’ and the personal commitment of Hyundai founder Chung Ju-yung, were the catalysts that produced Kumgangsan tourism. However, the number of customers in the early months of 2001 was at half the level of a year earlier, and Hyundai Asan is currently losing 2.5 billion won a month. At this stage, it is uncertain whether the Kumgangsan venture marks the beginning of a take-off for DPRK international tourism, or the end of a brief episode. World, particularly East Asian experience, shows that tourism can produce significant economic benefits. However, it comes at a cost in social, cultural, environmental and political terms. It clearly requires a benign political environment that encompasses the host country and the main source countries. On a practical level it requires certain infrastuctural, transportation and personnel resources, which often need foreign investment and expertise. From a marketing perspective, customer, and travel industry, perceptions of attractiveness, value for money and risk are crucial, and this must be set within the context of competing destinations. This paper surveys the experience of the Republic of Korea in developing international inbound tourism and presents statistics at global, regional and country level, including some countries of particular relevance such as Spain, China, Vietnam and Cuba. It describes current developments in DPRK tourism and attempts to identify the potential for development and the constraints that impede it. In particular, whilst there are formidable infrastructural problems the key constraint is a political one. Pyongyang has not yet moved far enough away from the old, self-defeating approach to tourism which focused on visitors which would eulogize the leadership. It needs to make a firm policy decision that it wants to attract manageable numbers of international tourists, and then analyze rationally how it might achieve that. It is argued that implementation of the June agreement on Kumgangsan - specifically the opening of the land routes and the designation as a special zone - will be an indicator of that decision. The paper was written mid-August 2001 for the conference Korean Studies at the Dawn of the New Millennium held by the Korean Studies Association of Australasia, 24- 25 September at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. The paper has been revised and amended since then in the light of subsequent events, especially 11 September and the current impasse over Kumgangsan and N-S relations generally.

한국 사드 배치 문제와 미국의 세계 패권 경쟁

팀빌 ( Tim Beal ) 한국정치평론학회 2016 정치와 평론 Vol.19 No.-

미국이 한국에 사드를 배치하려는 까닭은 기본적으로 미국의 세계 패권에 도전하는 중국과 러시아를 겨냥한 광역 미사일 방어 전략의 일환이다. 사드는 크게 두 부분으로 구성되는데, 하나는 요격기 그 자체이고, 다른 하나는 초기에 표적 미사일을 식별해 주는 AN/TPY- 레이더이다. 이 논문에서는 요격기 그 자체가 한반도의 지정학적 상황에서는 대단히 비효율적 수단이지만, 레이더의 위치에 따라서는 중국과 러시아의 발사장(launch sites) 동향을 사전에 감시할 수 있게 해준다고 주장할 것이다. 미국에서 도널드 트럼프가 갑작스럽게 대통령에 당선되고, 박근혜 행정부가 붕괴되는 뜻밖의 상황이 사드 배치 문제에 불확실한 요소를 추가하고 있다. 하지만 박근혜 후임으로 대단히 진보적인 후보가 대통령으로 당선되지 않는 한 당초의 사드 배치 계획은 그대로 이행될 가능성이 높다. 또한 미국의 세계 패권을 유지하기 위해서는 미사일 방어체계가 너무도 중요하기 때문에 대격변이 없는 한 미국의 계획을 수정하기는 어려울 것이다. The deployment of an initial THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) battery in South Korea is part of a wider missile defense strategy which is primarily aimed at the main challengers to US hegemony, China and Russia. The THAAD unit has two principal components - the interceptors themselves and the AN/TPY-2 radar which provides initial identification of the target missile. The literature suggests that the interceptors themselves will be largely ineffective in the context of the Korean peninsula, but the location of the radar offers forward surveillance of launch sites in China and Russia. The surprise election of Donald Trump and the unexpected implosion of the Park Geun-hye administration brings an element of uncertainty to the deployment. However, barring the election of a forceful and determined progressive candidate with a large mandate to succeed Park Geun-hye it seems likely that the initial deployment will go ahead, with more to follow. Missile defense is too important to US global hegemony to be deflected by anything other than a major upheaval.

Sway buckling of down-aisle, spliced, unbraced pallet rack structures

R.G. Beale,M.H.R. Godley 국제구조공학회 2003 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.3 No.5

This paper presents an efficient approach to the determination of the buckling loads of downaisle, spliced, unbraced, pallet rack structures subjected to vertical and horizontal loads. A pallet rack structures is analysed by considering the stability equations of an equivalent free-sway column. The effects of semi-rigid beam-to-upright, splice-to-upright and base-plate-to-upright connections are fully incorporated into the analysis. Each section of upright between successive beam levels in the pallet rack is considered to be a single column element with two rotational degrees of freedom. A computer algebra package was used to determine modified stability equations for column elements containing splices. The influence of the position of splices in a pallet rack is clearly demonstrated.
