2015 KIEP Visiting Fellows Program

2015 KIEP Visiting Fellows Program

대외경제정책연구원은 1989년 정부출연 연구기관으로 발족한 이래 우리나라의 세계지역연구를 선도해 왔으며 세계 유수기관과의 협력을 강화하고 있습니다. 연구협력팀은 국내외의 연구자간 교류를 활성화하고 지역연구역량을 강화하고자 2009년도부터 「방문학자 프로그램」을 운영하고 있습니다. 이 프로그램은 세계 각국의 유수한 학자와 지역연구 전문가를 초청하여 세계 지역에 대한 연구 성과와 정보를 공유함으로써 긴밀한 네트워크를 구축하고 협력 증진을 도모하고자 하는 프로그램입니다. 2015 KIEP Visiting Fellows Program 은 그의 일환으로 출간되는 성과물로, 이를 통하여 다양한 학자들의 연구 역량과 견해를 통찰하고자 합니다.

In 2009, Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) launched “Visiting Fellows Program (VFP)” with the view of advancing cross-border exchanges of knowledge, information, insights and expertise. Since its inception, the VFP has demonstrated that sharing thoughts and ideas through face-to-face contacts and dialogue works as a catalyst for enhancing mutual understanding among scholars and professionals with diverse background. By successfully implementing the VFP for the past 8 years, KIEP has been motivated to assume the role as a hub for international economic research in the region. As a host of the program, KIEP has many mandates. One of those tasks is to let more people know what has been accomplished through the program and how valuable it is. In an effort to do so, KIEP has published series of research every year. This volume, the 7th of its series, contains eight research papers contributed by 2015 Visiting Fellows. Publication owes many debts. Here I acknowledge just a few of them. First of all, I must express my deepest gratitude to the 2015 visiting fellows for their outstanding performances. My special thanks also goes to Ms. RIM Jeewoon and the staffs of the KIEP Publishing Team who worked very hard for the publication of this volume.
