Major Digital Trade Agreements and the Implications for the Korea-Singapore Digital Partnership Agreement (DPA)

고보민 한국무역연구원 2020 무역연구 Vol.16 No.6

This paper analyzes all the FTAs of Korea and Singapore with e-commerce chapters and finds the extent and scope of digital trade liberalization by scrutinizing each article as well as provisions of whether they concern obligation or cooperation in terms of commitment level in the chapter. Design/Methodology/Approach - As Korea has concluded 13 FTAs with chapters about e-commerce, and Singapore 20, this research analyzes and ranks the extent and the scope of digital trade liberalization to suggest policy implications for the successful conclusion of the KSDPA. Besides RCEP, to which both countries belong, Singapore already has ratified or signed major digital trade agreements with the most advanced articles or provisions including CPTPP, DEPA, and DEA. Findings - From the analysis, the maximum degree and extent of Singapore’s liberalization of e-commerce and digital trade comply with DEA, while those of Korea do with the RCEP. In this regard, Korea’s effort to expand its digital trade partnership through KSDPA is a good starting point but needs policy pre-requisites. Research Implications - In terms of establishing trade rules and a cooperation regime with other countries, Korea needs to seek ways to improve by studying overseas cases and analyzing the domestic impact for sensitive issues such as cross-border transfer of information by electronic means, location of computing services, source code, and non-discrimination. Furthermore, key issues related to business and consumer trust, such as online consumer protection, personal information protection, and cyber security, should not only be analyzed with surveys for companies to reflect corporate interests but also those individual consumers.

한국 통상행정조직 변천사 분석

고보민 한국국제통상학회 2018 국제통상연구 Vol.23 No.4

This study is to review the history of Korea’s trade administration, and then investigate the factors promoting the reorganization of its structure. And then it scrutinizes the recent reshuffle of its trade administration in order to find out major characteristics as well as implications. The history of Korea’s trade administration has been led by both foreign and domestic factors, and the recent reshuffle has changed the trade administration into the one with a more integrated structure which can cope with the recent wave of trade regime. In theory, Korea with the presidential system needs to have the trade administration under the president with at least the same size and structure. Moreover, special career development programs need to be designed for trade officials in the administration. 본 연구는 한국 통상행정조직의 변천사를 살펴보고, 그 과정에서 중요한 변화 촉진요인을 파악한 후, 최근 통상행정 조직개편의 현황과 특징을 살펴보고 통상행정조직 지위 및 권한 소재와 인사관리 두 분야와 관련하여 시사점과 제안을 도출하였다. 한국 통상행정조직이 변천은 크게 대외적 및 대내적 요인의 영향을 받았으며, 초기의 3개 부처에 관련 업무가 최근 조직개편으로 인해 조금 더 통합된 양상을 띠며 신통상질서에 대응하고 있다. 한편 대통령제 국가인 한국입장에서 가장 이상적인 것은 현 통상교섭본부가 그 규모 및 조직편성을 유지하며 대통령 직속기구가 되는 것이며, 더불어 통상분야 인력에 대한 특화된 경력개발 프로그램이 요구된다.

From Road Map 2003 to the New Road Map 2013: “Two-level” Game Analysis of Korea’s FTA Policy

고보민 한국무역연구원 2014 무역연구 Vol.10 No.6

This paper provides a general overview of Korea’s free trade agreement (FTA) policy fromthe perspective of level I and II negotiations. This paper reviews Korea’s 10 FTAs signedbetween 2003 and 2013 through “two-leve”l game analysis. It analyzed Korea’s FTAnegotiations under the Five-Factor Model, and assessed the level of difficulty in each of theFTAs Korea has signed and ratified. This paper concludes that domestic political factors andthe government-led FTA experience are key driving factors as the country seeks to achievegreater levels of trade liberalization. Furthermore, there were both economic and institutionalachievements during the 10 years. In level II negotiation, Korea also reached a higher levelof democracy along with a more detailed form of domestic conflict management byimplementing the Act on Trade Treaty Conclusion Procedure and Implementation in order toconduct FTAs in a more legitimate and systematic way. With the help of both road maps,Korea certainly has created a new vision with specific action plans toward a globalizedworld. Since Korea’s goal of becoming “an advanced open trading economy” is still beingpursued, the country has no way but to adapt to the changing global economic environmentwith more thorough preparation and sophisticated strategies. It also has to have the capacityto provide democratic and systematic measures that deal with the domestic reactions thatresult from trade liberalization.

The Impact of Domestic Political Factors on International Trade Negotiation Outcomes: A Focus on Free Trade Agreements

고보민,곽노성 한국무역연구원 2017 무역연구 Vol.13 No.4

This paper analyzes the effects of trade-related party preferences, parliamentary and presidential elections, and other domestic political variables on the outcome of bilateral trade agreement negotiations within a two-level game framework. This paper focuses on bilateral trade negotiations such as the Free Trade Agreements (or FTAs) of 34 countries. It conducts an empirical test on major FTAs with hypotheses driven from a literature review, from which two key findings are presented. First, domestic political factors such as the role of an election and the ruling party characteristics clearly affect the level of bilateral trade liberalization. Second, a country’s experience in signing, ratifying, and enforcing an FTA plays a significant role in moving a country toward a higher level of tariff liberalization. This paper included such factors as election events and ruling party characteristics as well as governmental experience and capabilities related to trade negotiations concerned. Moreover, this research first employed a share of short-term duty-free tariff lines as dependent variable instead of traditionally preferred variables of protection, such as tariff or other trade-related indices.

주요 디지털통상협정 내 제도적 장치 및 분쟁해결제도 비교 분석 및 한국에의 시사점

고보민 한국무역학회 2022 貿易學會誌 Vol.47 No.5

This study first classifies and organizes provisions on institutional arrangements (or IAs) and dispute settlement mechanism(or DSM) in a digital trade agreement. Then it conducts a case study on seven major digital trade agreements: the CPTPP, the USJDTA, the USMCA, the ASDEA, the RCEP, the KSDPA, and the DEPA. And it finally derives implications for Korea to improve implementation of DTAs by communicating better and resolving disputes efficiently with the help of IAs and DSM-related provisions. IAs of a digital trade agreement can be defined as a set of agreements on the division of the respective responsibilities of agencies involved in implementing and enforcing the agreement, including committees, working groups, or contact points. DSM of a digital trade agreement includes consultation, mediation, arbitration, and establishment of a panel. Comparing six FTAs with an e-commerce chapter, the CPTPP, the USMCA, and the RCEP contain the most advanced type of IA provisions while the CPTPP, the USMCA, the RCEP, and the KSDPA have that of DSM provisions. Korea is its initial stage as it has only signed the KSDPA with Singapore as well as it is about to launch a new digital trade negotiation for the DEPA, the CPTPP, and even the IPEF, it is necessary to engage in negotiations with a clearer position on behalf of Korean digital companies. As provisions on IAs and DSM are important policy tools that can reflect industry concerns and convey proposals in inter-governmental dialogue, a Korean draft of the IAs and DSM-related provision should be prepared in advance.

개인정보 국외이전 관련 EU GDPR 위반 사례 분석 및 기업에의 시사점

고보민 한국무역경영학회 2022 한국무역경영연구 Vol.- No.25

This study conducts a case analysis on four breach cases of EU GDPR on cross-border transfer of personal data, and derives implications for both EU and non-EU firms subject to the GDPR. All of the four cases took place in the course of business activities between EU controller firms and non-EU processer firms whose country has not received the adequacy decision by the European Data Protection Board(EDPB), All four processor firms belong to the information and communication industry such as telemarketing, image reading, and education service support. This case analysis is of great significance in that it can capture some significant phenomena of cross-border transfer of personal data that may occur frequently in the wave of increasing digital goods and services trade. In order to comply with the GDPR, EU controller firms should check all personal data transfers through a review of existing or planned business operations, and pay more attention to ensure that the firm is equipped with a proper data transfer mechanism. In this regards, each controller firm should have so called ‘personal data protection governance' which works as a central data protection system for customer response and crisis management. Non-EU processor firms should actively communicate with EU controller firms, strengthen training for in-house workers in relation to personal data protection, and secure organizational, technical methods or means to verify pre-filtering in customer data management.
