ABSTRACT

This paper aims to suggest new role and tasks of Busan as a logistics hub in the East Sea Rim region and the Northeast Asia, focusing not only on China’s Chang-Ji-Tu Project and its cross-border cooperation which is ongoing in the Tumen region as a border of Northeast Asia, but also on the progress and perspective for international logistics cooperation in the East Sea Rim. The eastern coast area of South and North Korea is still underdeveloped except some areas. Although China’s Northeastern provinces, the Russian Far East and Japan’s western coast area have each new development plan, they also represent a ‘border’ which is underdeveloped in each country. However, according as China has driven forward the Northeast Development Strategy since the early 2000s, the Tumen region visualized the appearance of open border and cross-border economic zone through various policy coordinations among its surrounding nations. The cooperation related logistic infrastructure and network construction is a core element of international cooperation in the East Sea Rim region and has made breakthrough. In spite of positive perspectives on the development of the East Sea Rim, this region is exposed to a question of H/W and S/W in logistic side, apart from many problems such as escalating tensions between the two Koreas, mutual competition and control between China and Russia, Japan’s negative attitude on international cooperation, and so on. Busan of a competitive city in Korea can give possibilities to international logistic cooperation as a logistic hub in the East Sea Rim. Therefore, Busan needs to develop international industrial complex for creating the quantity of goods transported, to expand logistic infrastructure and network, and to coordinate the regional local government conferences and establish the cooperative network among various actors such as local government, business interest, social groups in the East Sea Rim region.
