A Study on Blue Economy, Institutions and Regional Ocean Governance: A Comparative Study on Yellow Sea Rim and East Sea Rim

This study aims to investigate blue economy, in particular the major ocean industries to compare Yellow Sea Rim and East Sea Rim in Northeast Asia. Then, it is to analyze the multi-layered governance, that is, the ocean policies of central government and the local government targeting for the ocean development and searching for the possibility to establish regional ocean governance. China's ocean policy focuses on ocean plant, human resources, technological innovation, new renewable energy, supporting institutionalization to build ocean cluster by local government, while Japan focusing on ocean resource development and energy security, and South Korea on new ocean industries such as ocean plant, new renewable energy as well. However, the institutionalization are very low on the local government level in South Korea and Japan. A reasonable way to shape the regional governance appears as place-based management-a strategy that requires integrated management of the full suite of human activities happening in spatially demarcated areas identified through a procedure that explain biophysical, socioeconomic, and jurisdictional consideration, embarking on the local level to move to the national level. In this context, the environmental committee in the NEAR, for instance, can be divided into the Yellow Sea Rim and East Sea Rim to search for and to deal with the common agenda.
