| GFP5008 | Microeconomic Theory | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| This course investigates micro aspects of economic theory. We introduce models of consumer preferences and consumer choice, which can be used to derive a market demand curve. We then move on to the theory of production and firm behavior. To analyze equilibrium and welfare, we con- sider three basic market structures (i.e., perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly) integrating consumers' choices and firms' behavior. We will cover various topics on strategic decisions of corporates such as collusion, resale, price discrimination and product variety, bundling, and predation, in order to understand economic implications of policies on industrial organization. We further study markets with externalities and asymmetric information to analyze the sources of market failures and the diret/indirect impacts of economic policies. | |||||||||

| GFP5011 | The Changes of International Community and its Future Order | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| The international community is a social relationship that is established on the basis of mutual exchanges among many countries. It has become more intense with the development of transportation and communication as well as the establishment of the international institutions such as the United Nations (UN). It is characterized by the fact that there is no overall public authority, and the legal order that regulates it completely relies on the consensus of its component states. The international community is changing significantly in many ways, and this course examines these changes from the perspective of public international law and looks at the future order. This course examines its changes based upon an understanding of the basic theories of international law, the state theory, and the international norms that apply to each specialized area of law, including the use of force, the law of the sea, the environment, and trade. A number of issues are discussed in this course. In particular, it examines the rights and obligations among the actors in international law, including states, international organizations, and individuals. It also examines how conflicts of rights and obligations between actors under international law are resolved by judicial means. Specifically, it looks into the peaceful resolution of disputes through the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), and the WTO dispute settlement system. | |||||||||
| GFP5012 | Trade Order and the Future of International Community | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| The trade order is an order which facilitates trade activities between countries in the world. It is a system of rules and procedures that ensure predictability and stability in international trade. The international trading order has been maintained and developed through various multilateral organizations and agreements. One prominent example would be the World Trade Organization (WTO), which coordinates trade negotiations between member countries, resolves trade-related disputes, and administers international trade rules. Under the WTO system, countries co-operate with each other, pursue mutual interests, and promote economic exchange. This course will examine the current trade order, including both multilateral and bilateral, from the perspective of international economic law, and the impact on the future of international community. A number of issues are discussed in this course. In particular, it examines the principle of ‘non-discrimination’, which requires that goods and services from all countries be given the same treatment and that foreign goods and services not be treated less favorably than domestic goods and services. It also examines how conflicts of rights and obligations between states are resolved by judicial means. Specifically, it looks at the WTO/FTA dispute settlement system. In light of the proliferation of preferential trade agreements, as an alternative to multilateralism, the types of such agreements and their relationship to the WTO are examined. | |||||||||
| GFP5013 | Constitution and Political System | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the correlation between the constitution and the political system, including their political/legal implications and key components. In contemporary democracies, the exercise of public power is achieved through the creation and implementation of laws. Laws in the country are created primarily through political process, while the essential frameworks for political process is provided by the constitution. These frameworks are crystallized through the political system shaped by the constitution. With the primary function of regulating politics, the constitution is crucial in understanding the political system. This course aims to comprehend the notions and principles of the constitution as a basic law governing the political system. We will analyze and grasp the political system delineated by the current constitution and compare it with other political systems from a comparative legal perspective. The constitution highlights key principles such as democracy, the rule of law, and the social welfare state. Understanding these principles is essential to discussing the constitution and political system and is relevant to this course. This course will improve understanding of the interplay between the constitution and the political system by exploring various issues that arise in the context of fulfilling the constitution through politics. | |||||||||
| GFP5014 | Contemporary Constitutionalism | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| This course aims to analyze the historical and theoretical foundations, core elements, and characteristics of constitutionalism. It also aims to explore the necessity for and direction of new changes required in the context of the contemporary state. Constitutionalism emerged from the political upheavals of the American and French revolutions at the end of the 18th century. It resulted from various efforts to regulate the establishment and structure of state power and the boundaries or limits of its exercise. Understanding the basic ideas, formation, and characteristics of constitutionalism is pivotal in this course. The modern states have undergone many changes in the past two centuries, and constitutionalism needs to adapt accordingly. Furthermore, as societies have progressed industrially and increased in complexity, numerous risks have constrained individual freedoms. Constitutionalism now faces the task to protect freedoms from these risks. Today, constitutionalism is encountering a range of challenges that have not historically received sufficient attention, including climate change, terrorism, natural disasters, aging, and polarization. It is the duty of constitutionalism to address these challenges successfully. This course explores ways to adjust and advance constitutionalism in the state's altered current landscape by improving systemic comprehension of contemporary constitutionalism. | |||||||||
| GFP5015 | Integrated legal policy research | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| This course aims to provide students with specialized content necessary for analyzing and resolving numerous social issues arising in contemporary society from a legal policy perspective and to examine intergrated legal policies required to address each specific social problem. Today, our society faces various new challenges resulting from rapid social changes. Solving these issues requires expert knowledge of their origins, characteristics, and logical coherence, alongside the ability to think creatively for unconventional solutions. Furthermore, as our society has been becoming functionally differentiated, it is more crucial to develop an integrated and cohesive approach that extends beyond the internal logic of each fragmented area. This also applies to legal policy, which focuses on the creation and application of law and the resolution of disputes in response to emerging issues. This course will evaluate emerging social concerns pertaining to life, liberty, discrimination, safety, labor, education, privacy, and welfare. It will analyze the causes and nature of these issues and explore legal policy solutions that our society can develop in order to rationally address them. This course will comprehensively examine the constitutionality of legal policies, systemic coherence issues, cost-benefit issues, and efficiency issues from an integrated perspective that encompasses both law and policy. | |||||||||
| GFP5016 | Technology, policy, and law | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| The advancement of technology, including science, is a hallmark of contemporary society. The purpose of this course is to explore the roles that policy and law play in this advancement. Academic accomplishments in various fields of technology are indispensable to promoting technological progress. However, it is also crucial to prepare policy and legal foundations to facilitate such accomplishments. First, an analysis of current policies and legal systems will be conducted from the perspective of providing support for technology development. Additionally, a comparative policy and legal examination of other country's policies and legal systems will be performed. Furthermore, the direction and content of future technology policies that our society should pursue will be investigated. On the other hand, the progress of technology presents new challenges unprecedented before, and it is a core task for countries to resolve these issues. The advancement in genetic engineering and biotechnology has raised intricate ethical concerns. Technological progress has resulted in environmental degradation and a climate crisis, global tensions stemming from nuclear weapons, and concerns regarding human dignity and alienation. This course will explore policy and legal remedies for the detrimental effects of technological advancement. We will analyze the constitutionality of policies and legal systems, weigh their costs and benefits, assess the technical feasibility of legislation. | |||||||||

| GFP5020 | Inequality and Democracy | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Why are some countries more egalitarian than others? Why were some countries able to develop more successfully than others? Is there a relationship between egalitarianism, development, and democracy? In answering these questions, this course explores the connections between politics and markets. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and assignments, we will examine how politics shape domestic economies and how the economic configurations of these societies influence politics. On each selected topic in the field of political economy, the course will survey the main chronologies of related research on the given topic, combining both seminar and contemporary research. Although many of the theories and empirical cases examined in the class derive from the experience of advanced industrial economies, we will also examine the extent to which the ways we think about political economy apply to middle and low-income economies. | |||||||||
| GFP5021 | International Security-Theory and Practice | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
| This course introduces main theoretical debates and contemporary issues in international security. It begins with key texts on war causes, levels of warfare and military effectiveness. In understanding theoretical concepts and debates, the course examines various wars of the 20th century as case studies, exploring why these wars occurred, participants’ military strategy and performance, and why they ended the way they did. The following section covers selected traditional topics in security studies, ranging from alliances, deterrence and coercion, nuclear proliferation, military innovation, and civil wars. Students will read key texts of each topic as well as optional readings, and critically engage on how, why, when, and to whom these issue-areas affect international security. The last part of the course addresses two emerging topics—psychological approaches to security studies and maritime security. Here, the focus is on identifying key ideas, debates, and questions of the new topics and producing informed judgment about their likely impact in the future theory and practice. Throughout the course, students are tasked to write an independent research paper—either as a manuscript draft or a research proposal—and would schedule at least one individual consultation to discuss research paper topic, literature review, and research design. There will be one research presentation session to share students’ research progress and receive feedback before they finalize the | |||||||||
