Regional Policy Coordination for Developing International Transportation Corridors: A Case of the Greater Tumen Region

국문 초록 (Abstract)

연구목적: 본 연구는 국제운송회랑 개발에 관한 광역두만강개발계획(GTI) 회원국(중국, 몽골, 한국, 러시아)의 주요 시책들을 비교 분석하였다.
논문구성/논리: 지역과의 연결성을 높이는 국제운송회랑을 개발하기 위해서는 효과적인 조정정책이 필요하다. 기존 연구들에서는 이러한 정책의 두 가지 방향성에 대해 살펴보았다. 먼저 한 가지 정책방향은 서비스 수준의 향상을 목적으로 한 정책이며, 또다른 하나는 화물운송업자들이 국제운송회랑을 사용하도록 권장하는 정책이다. 이런 가운데 필자는 각국의 국제운송회랑 개발을 둘러싼 관련 시책을 검토하였다.
결과: 서비스의 향상과 관련해서 정부는 비물리적인 수단이 아닌 사회 기반시설의 개발에 주력해 오고 있다. 또한 정부는 사용자들을 위한 국제운송회랑의 홍보에 거의 관심을 기울이지 않고 있다. 수행기관의 역할을 담당하기 보다는 정책조정 플랫폼 역할을 하는 광역두만강개발계획(GTI)은 정보 공유로부터 시작해 비물리적인 수단 및 홍보활동에 큰 역할을 하고 있다.
독창성/가치: 본 연구에서는 최근 광역두만강개발계획(GTI)에 관한 각국의 정책동향을 다루었으며, 해당 사업과 관련하여 각국의 정책 상황을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 분석하는 일은 추후 이 지역의 정책개발과 조정을 위한 토대로 작용할 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: To analyze the policy measures of the GTI member countries (China, Mongolia, Korea and Russia) on development of international transportation corridors. Recognizing that the joint efforts brought less achievement than expected, this paper will present its arguments on the policy composition, and try to identify missing components and/or any lack of mutual policy coordination.
Composition/Logic: In order to develop international transportation corridors, which contribute toward regional transportation connectivity, a well-composed coordinated policy is required. A previous research identified two directions of the policy. One is the policy aiming at improving the service level and the other is the policy encouraging freight shippers to use the corridors. From this point of view, the author analyzed the policy measures of the countries.
Findings: With regard to the service improvement, the governments focus on infrastructure development, instead of non-physical measures. They pay little attention to corridor promotion toward the users. The GTI, as a platform of policy coordination rather than an executing organization, should play a significant role in non-physical measures and promotion activities, starting from information sharing.
Originality/Value: The paper deals with concurrent issues gathering information on the latest developments in the region. An effort to analyze the policy situation comprehensively and systematically gives several findings that may lay a foundation for practical policy development and coordination in the region, as well as for further theoretical analyses in the field of regional policy cooperation.
