The US-led and European partners supporting liberal international order has dwindled. A number of research has been conducted to explore reasons, starting point, the possibility of resurrection, and even the future scenarios of the international order. This is particularly important for the EU, in that the EU was built for a world that is peaceful, multilateral and driven by compromise inseparable from the liberal international order. The current situation of the crisis in the international order is also important to emerging powers notably China and Russia which seek for a new order best suitable for their own interests. In this sense, this paper explains the significance of the liberal international order to the EU, the necessity of salvaging an order or creating a new order, and important variables – elections held in 2024 across the EU, in the European Parliament, and the US, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, trans-atlantic partnership and EU-China relations – which possibly affect the EU to establish a new European order. In fact, the EU is unlikely to take the lead in forming a new international order. Nonetheless, the first task the EU should do is to acknowledge the crisis situation at present and to make a decision of the EU’s position and role regarding saved, reformed or newly shaped order.

This study examines the main elements, concepts, and directions of ‘cultural accessibility’ in the field of cultural arts education through the French case. Above all, ‘cultural accessibility’ is viewed from the perspective of the problems of ‘social exclusion’ and the corresponding ‘participation’. We discuss strategies for applying ‘cultural accessibility’ through French policy discussions. France is implementing this consistent policy structure through the development of its local self-government system. We first look at the current status of French cultural policy and cultural accessibility, and the participation. Next, we will discuss separately into the cultural arts education of the central government and those of local governments. For application to Korea, we propose the application of education to apply ‘culture of public values’, the establishment of autonomy in cultural arts education, and the application of a dual strategy for public advocacy.

This study examines the impact of the development of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry on the economic growth of South Korea. The study uses variables such as the revenue and patent applications of AI-related companies, as well as industry-specific total factor productivity and GDP, to estimate the effects. The results suggest that the growth of the AI industry has a positive effect on the economic growth with a lag of about one year. Specifically, the effect of government AI revenue on GDP growth appears to be greater than that of private companies or consumer-focused AI revenue. This indicates that government policies aimed at promoting the diffusion of the AI industry have had significant effects. The study notes that the period covered by the AI industry survey data is relatively short, and there is a lack of detailed data for the manufacturing sector. I suggest that further improvements and accumulation of data could lead to more robust results.
