This chapter discusses the acceptance of human security by the “ODA community” in South Korea. The authors examine official documents, academic publications, and interviews with stakeholders, to see whether the term “human security” was explicitly or implicitly used. The result shows that even though the South Korean government does not use the term very often, it has embraced the three freedoms, protection, and empowerment in its official development assistance (ODA) policies. While it is not clear whether the idea of human security has been fully implemented in ODA activities, it is noteworthy that the term has been explicitly used by the South Korean government. The chapter concludes by mentioning the possible utility of the concept with regard to future situations around North Korea.

In this chapter, Kim, Howe, et al. assess the extent to which South Korea has directly engaged in its middle power niche diplomacy with development and human security, two of the three key elements of with which this volume deals, and, through spillover, indirectly with the third, peacebuilding. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first examines South Korea’s foreign policy through ODA since 2010 when it became an OECD DAC member. The second reviews South Korea’s promotion of human security through its ODA (and other policy vehicles). The final, concluding section comprises an analysis of South Korea’s engagement as a middle power in its diplomacy. The authors point to continuity among successive governments on the theme of “principled foreign policy.” These have included the “contribution diplomacy” and “Global Korea” agenda pursued by the Lee Myung-bak administration, the Park Geun-hye administration’s emphasis on the interrelatedness of development cooperation, security, and “middle power diplomacy,” and the diplomatic policy platform of the new Moon Jae-in administration, which includes the Global South Policy. This initiative, still under development, is expected to continue and expand the emphasis on the potential of ASEAN countries (and India) as significant development partners for South Korea.

Dumebuchu (Allium senescens L. var. senescens) has a peculiar and long-lasting odor that resembles the flavo r of garlic and onions. This study was conducted to examine the volatile compounds of essent ial oils extracted from dumebuchu. The essential oils of dumebuchu were extracted by hydrodistillation using a clavenger-type apparatus and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 25 compounds were identified in the essential oils from dumebuchu. Among sulfur-containing compounds, 4 disulfides and 3 trisulf ides were identified. The most abundant sulfur-containing compound was 5-dimethylthiophene (peak area 4 1.15%) and the second and the third most abundant compound were dipropyl disulfide (18.91%) and propyl allyl disulfide (12.23%) , respectively.Key words : Allium senescens L. var. senescens, dumebuchu, essential oils, hydrodistillation, sulfur-containing compounds I. 서 론 1) Allium 식물 조직이 손상되면 alliinase 가 비휘발성 화합물인 S-alk(en)yl-L-cysteine sulfoxides(S-methyl-cysteine sulfoxides, S-propyl-cysteine sulfoxides, S-2-propenyl-cysteine sulfoxides, S-1-propenyl-cysteine sulfoxides)
