한중일 물류 협력과 물류레짐 구상

Abstract

As the economic interdependence of the East Asian area has been increased, China and ASEAN countries are rapidly growing to be a regional consumption, production, and marketing base. The main route is moving to East Asian area. Production and logistics are just like two wheels of a car. Even if products are in high quality, if there are no effective systems of logistics, increase in industrial competitive power is difficult. Therefore, China, Japan and Korea are sharing the awareness of the logistics cooperation which is important for the smooth trade within the area and the growth of economy. The Ministerial Conference of Maritime Transport and Logistics within China, Japan and Korea can be seen as the agreement of three countries, changing their basis from competing for prior occupation of ports in East Asian logistics hubs into inducing cooperation in as many fields as possible to cut down the cost of logistics. In short term, the cooperative logistics within three countries will result in the decrease in the cost of logistics for enterprise and the wealth of each nation and an increase in domestic employment rate and value added resulting from the growth in logistical industries. Also, for the middle years, it is possible to prevent excessive competence among three countries in investment of maritime facilities. This enables effective distribution of financial resources of logistics infrastructure. Furthermore, building the Northeast Asia logistics regime can be considered as being capable of preparing the basis of unification in economy due to the acceleration in contracting Northeast Asia FTA. Building the Northeast Asia logistics regime and actualizing the Logistics Cooperation Business Model is a new way of approach which isn't simple, considering the diverse logistics systems of China, Japan and Korea. To overcome the problem and to actualize successful logistics cooperations, well organized counter measures such as building intergovernmental cooperative channels by Northeast Asia logistics trade are essential. For future Northeast Asian logistics regime, multi-dimensional consideration for three levels of logistics industry, international system and domestic policy is needed.
