The possibility of regional cooperation in the Yellow Sea Rim (YSR) area has been discussed since the early 1980s. In recent
years, Korean outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased rapidly and it will be growing much further. In the new
phase of the global economy and the post-cold war political environment, Korean firms consider the socialist countries, especially
China, to be attractive new partners for trade and investment projects. Foreign investment contributed to economic growth
in developing countries. In the early stage of industrialization in the 1970s, the share of foreign firms amounted to about
one-tenth of the total manufacturing employment in Korea. Similarly, outbound Korean FDI could also play an important role
in the industrialization of the LDCs in Southeast Asia and China. A case study of a Korean multinational corporation reveals
that the direct employment effect of Korea’s FDI is extensive in terms of money invested. In spite of the complementarity
in economic structure and the phase of development between Korea and China, the prospect of Korea’s outbound FDI is not all
clear. However, one can safely assume that the unit scale of FDI projects will increase. Unlike in the past, the large Korean
corporations are now preparing more than a few fair-sized projects in China. The positive impact of those FDI will be significant.
The YSR cooperation, if successful, could create efficient economic cooperation based on complementarity between Korea and
China. The Korean outbound FDI would pave a road to such regional cooperation.
This article is the revised version of a paper prepared for the International Conference on Regional Development in the Yellow
Sea Rimlands, held February 18–21, 1991. The conference was cosponsored by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements,
the State Science and Technology Commission of China, and the East-West Center of Honolulu, Hawaii. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study that draws upon a collaborative research strategy and has two main objectives: 1) Translating and adapting into French the Measure of Victim Empowerment Related to Safety (MOVERS scale) (Goodman et al. Psychology of Violence, 5(4), 355-366, 2015a); 2) Validating the French version of the MOVERS scale in a population of French-Canadian women receiving shelter services. The French-Canadian MOVERS (FCM) was administered to 189 women receiving shelter services in the province of Québec (Canada). The factorial structure, reliability and validity of the FCM were tested. This paper highlights that the FCM replicates the three dimensions found in the original version (Goodman et al. Psychology of Violence, 5(4), 355-366, 2015a), displays significant correlations with measures of depression, anxiety and stress, self-esteem, perceived social support, satisfaction with life and self-efficacy, and has overall good reliability estimates. The FCM is a valid and reliable scale to assess safety-related empowerment among women receiving shelter services. Furthermore, the scale provides interesting opportunities to shelter workers, which will be discussed in the paper.

This article is an examination of the language of recent large-scale education reform in England, New Zealand, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba. In each jurisdiction, we review both the official documents and the parliamentary debate around a set of major educational reforms, looking at both the similarities and differences between jurisdictions and at the overall nature of official discourse. Although some similar rhetoric was used in all four settings, we conclude that the differences in justifications were more significant than the commonalities. Our analysis supports a view of official rhetoric as being primarily symbolic and intended to create or support particular definitions of problems and solutions, but also as shaped by the historical context, institutional structure, and political culture of each setting. 相似文献
This paper examines the somatization process that may complicate diagnosis in cases of psychological injury. Usually, somatoform and related disorders are fraught with diagnostic uncertainty, and a survey of the scientific literature reveals that recommendations are being made to revise them for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) V. The paper concentrates on the dynamics in somatization. The article presents an integrated forensic biopsychosocial model of somatization. It incorporates a biopsychosocial model of somatization that includes 100 factors. It addresses the process of somatization in terms of three dimensions having forensic relevance. The article concludes with recommendations for the DSM V in terms of a new class of diagnostic categories pertaining to somatization and a new axis on causality. 相似文献
