한ㆍ유라시아경제연합(EAEU) 산업협력 증진방안 (A New Framework for Industrial Cooperation between Korea and the EAEU)

Abstract

Korean Abstract: 이 연구는 유라시아경제연합(EAEU) 및 개별 회원국의 산업정책 방향과 특성에 대한 분석을 통해 한ㆍ EAEU 간 산업협력 증진방안을 제시하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 글로벌 국제환경의 불확실성이 증대되는 상황 속에서 한국과 EAEU 간 산업협력은 전략적 시기적 차원에서 중요한 국가적 과제이다. 한 ㆍEAEU 산업협력을 토대로 한국은 그동안 정체되었던 러시아ㆍ유라시아 국가들과의 경제관계 개선뿐 아니라, 북방경제협력 정책 추진과 유라시아 국제협력 증진에도 유용한 도움을 얻을 수 있을 것이다. English Abstract: As uncertainties increase within the global economic environment, the Korean government is enthusiastically seeking for a new economic growth engine through economic cooperation with Russia and the Eurasian countries. In particular, there is a growing need to expand the Eurasian trade network, based on an FTA with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). In this context, building a new framework for industrial cooperation between Korea and the EAEU is strategically important. The Korean government should prepare a strategic plan to promote Korea-EAEU industrial cooperation, based on a comprehensive understanding of the industrial structures and policies of individual EAEU member countries. Based on this understanding, this study examines the key objectives and characteristics of each of the EAEU member countries’ industrial policies. Member countries show four characteristics in common. Firstly, they aim to foster high-tech industries by building the foundations necessary for the development of the manufacturing industry, along with promoting exports in the traditional industries. Secondly, they show closer attention to the development of alternative energy and smart power generation systems, in order to foster strategic industries. Thirdly, in line with development of the pharmaceutical industry, they place emphasis on biotechnology and new material development such as advanced biotechnology and nanotechnology. Lastly, they regard information and communication technology as one of the most promising growth engine industries, in preparation for the fourth industrial revolution. Likewise, the EAEU member countries are willing to strengthen their economic and industrial growth based on an industrial diversification strategy. In this regard, they have a common priority in four major growth engines: renewable energy, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, information and communication technology, and food processing.
