Kim, Byeongjo.There is currently very low use of new technology tools in the Congolese public sector. While the government is looking to invest more in these tools, there is still a knowledge gap on how emerging technologies can affect the countrys public sector reform especially when it comes to civil servant recruitment and retirement. This study was done in hopes to fill this gap for policymakers, civil servants as well as Congolese citizens. The participants that took place in this study were picked through purposive and snowballing sampling. Out of all 18 interviews that were conducted, only 15 of them were retained for the study. As for the analysis of the data, I used a grounded theory to find the main themes in the answers I obtained. Although more research and work need to be done, through this research I was able to affirm my hypothesis that indeed the use of emerging technologies could unlock the potential for the reform of the ministry of public service, especially in the areas that seem to have been experiencing the most challenges, recruitment, and retirement of civil servants. However, this is still a work in progress as there are more pressing issues at hand for the government.ํ˜„์žฌ ์ฝฉ๊ณ ๋ฏผ์ฃผ๊ณตํ™”๊ตญ ๊ณต๊ณต ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์‹ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ๋„๊ตฌ์˜ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ์ €์กฐํ•˜๋‹ค. ์ •๋ถ€๊ฐ€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋„๊ตฌ์— ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ํŠนํžˆ ๊ณต๋ฌด์› ์ฑ„์šฉ๊ณผ ํ‡ด์ง์— ์žˆ์–ด์„œ ์‹ ํฅ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์ด ๊ตญ๊ฐ€์˜ ๊ณต๊ณต ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๊ฐœํ˜์— ์–ด๋–ค ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง€์‹ ๊ฒฉ์ฐจ๊ฐ€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์กด์žฌํ•œ๋‹ค. ๋ณธ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋Š” ์ฝฉ๊ณ ๋ฏผ์ฃผ๊ณตํ™”๊ตญ ์‹œ๋ฏผ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์ •์ฑ… ์ž…์•ˆ์ž, ๊ณต๋ฌด์›๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ํ•ด๋‹น ๊ฒฉ์ฐจ๋ฅผ ์ฑ„์šฐ๋Š” ๋ชฉ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ณธ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์˜ ๋Œ€์ƒ์ž๋“ค์€ ๋ชฉ์ ์ ์ด๊ณ  ๋ˆˆ๋ฉ์ด์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ๋ถˆ์–ด๋‚œ ํ‘œ๋ณธ์ถ”์ถœ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์„ ์ •๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์‹œ๋œ 18๊ฐœ์˜ ์ธํ„ฐ๋ทฐ ์ค‘์—์„œ, ๋‹จ์ง€ 15๊ฐœ๋งŒ์ด ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ์œ ์ง€๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž๋ฃŒ ๋ถ„์„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๊ทผ๊ฑฐ ์ด๋ก ์„ ์ด์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ ์–ป์€ ๋‹ต๋ณ€์—์„œ ์ฃผ์š” ์ฃผ์ œ๋ฅผ ์ฐพ์•˜๋‹ค. ๋น„๋ก ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์™€ ์ž‘์—…์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋‚˜๋Š” ํŠนํžˆ ๊ณต๋ฌด์›์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋งŽ์€ ๋„์ „๊ณผ ์ฑ„์šฉ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ‡ด์ง์„ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ์‹ ํฅ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์˜ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ด ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๊ณต๋ฌด์› ๋ถ€์ฒ˜์˜ ๊ฐœํ˜ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์„ ์—ด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋‚˜์˜ ๊ฐ€์„ค์„ ํ™•์ธํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ •๋ถ€๊ฐ€ ๋‹น๋ฉดํ•œ ๋” ์‹œ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฌธ์ œ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ์ผ์ด๋‹ค. ํ‚ค์›Œ๋“œ: ํ–‰์ •์„œ๋น„์Šค, ํ‡ด์ง, ์ฑ„์šฉ, ๊ณต๊ณตํ–‰์ •, ์‹ ํฅ๊ธฐ์ˆ , ENA, CNSSAP ํ•™๋ฒˆ: 2021-207521.

    Climate and Security: Evolution in the United States Political Discourses

    Get PDF
    Climate change emerged as a high-level global issue in the Rio Earth Summit (1992). In the United States, the Clinton Administration was the first to associate climate and security in official documents. Since then, there has been an overall tendency to consolidate climate security in political discourses in the United States. Based on the Copenhagen School criteria, analysis of speeches by Post-Cold War U.S. governments (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden), and a review of each Administrationโ€™s climate change policies demonstrate how climate securitization has evolved in the United States. Climate securitization has evolved as a nonlinear process characterized by periods of progress and reversals of narratives and securitizing measures with a strong influence of partisanship

    How Do National Election Outcomes Affect International Relations? A Case Study of Taiwan, China, and the United States

    Get PDF
    This thesis will look to comparatively analyze the main Taiwanese Presidential candidatesโ€™ policies, examine Taiwanโ€™s past election patterns, and discuss the political and economic implications of the 2020 Taiwanese Presidential elections for Taiwan, China, and the United States. Taiwanโ€™s disputed political status along with the current power competition between the United States and China provides an appropriate study to show how in an increasingly globalized world, elections donโ€™t just affect the country itself, it can affect the global order and international relations

    Rights-Based and Tech-Driven: Open Data, Freedom of Information, and the Future of Government Transparency

    Get PDF
    Open data policy mandates that government proactively publish its data online for the public to reuse. It is a radically different approach to transparency than traditional right-to-know strategies as embodied in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) legislation in that it involves ex ante rather than ex post disclosure of whole datasets. Although both open data and FOIA deal with information sharing, the normative essence of open data is participation rather than litigation. By fostering public engagement, open data shifts the relationship between state and citizen from a monitorial to a collaborative one, centered around using information to solve problems together. This Essay explores the theory and practice of open data in comparison to FOIA and highlights its uses as a tool for advancing human rights, saving lives, and strengthening democracy. Although open data undoubtedly builds upon the fifty-year legal tradition of the right to know about the workings of one\u27s government, open data does more than advance government accountability. Rather, it is a distinctly twenty-first century governing practice borne out of the potential of big data to help solve society\u27s biggest problems. Thus, this Essay charts a thoughtful path toward a twenty-first century transparency regime that takes advantage of and blends the strengths of open data\u27s collaborative and innovation-centric approach and the adversarial and monitorial tactics of freedom of information regimes

    Semi-Annual Report to Congress for the Period of April 1, 2001 to September 30, 2001

    It is an honor to transmit to the Secretary and the Congress the 46th Semiannual Report of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Inspector General (OIG). During the period of April 1 through September 30, 2001, the OIG continued to direct its audit, evaluation, and investigation resources to activities that support its goals of effecting positive change and reducing vulnerabilities in departmental programs and operations, producing a positive return on invested resources, and providing quality services to stakeholders. Our work is intended to assist the Department in its efforts to improve the economic prospects of the unemployed and underemployed; protect the lives, health, and rights of workers; provide appropriate benefits to injured or unemployed workers; and ensure accountability over taxpayer dollars invested in departmental programs. The work of the OIG during this period resulted in 40millionincoststhatwerequestionedorrecommendedbeputtobetteruse;over40 million in costs that were questioned or recommended be put to better use; over 35.2 million in investigative recoveries, restitutions, fines, and penalties; 182 indictments; and 109 convictions. Through our oversight work, we provided information to the Department that one of the major programs for providing employment and training services to welfare recipients falls short in placing individuals in lasting unsubsidized employment. We also audited programs that assist workers who lose their jobs because of trade policies to obtain employment at suitable wages. We found that these programs only did so for 34% of the participants we reviewed. In addition, we identified ways that the Department can further protect miners from accidents and ways that the Department can protect its information technology systems from intrusions. From an investigative perspective, we found that worker benefits programs remain vulnerable to fraud and continued our proactive support of the governmentโ€™s efforts to combat labor racketeering, union corruption, and organized crime activity. Illustrative of our work in this area is the conviction of a former labor union official for his role in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme involving several Chicago-based union pension plans and a labor organization. In addition to the work highlighted above, we are continuing to work with the Department to resolve any previously identified management issues or areas of concern. My staff and I look forward to continuing to work constructively with the Secretary and the DOL team to further our common goal of ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity of the programs that serve and protect the American workforce
