APEC 과학기술혁신정책파트너십(PPSTI)의 참여국 네트워크 및 주요 사업 내용 분석을 통한 전략적 기술협력 강화 방안 마련에 관한 연구

Attendance at the PPSTI project general meeting is essential for APEC members' public and network diplomacy, and reviewing various proposals is crucial for establishing the direction of cooperation projects for each country. This study examined the international cooperation relationship between PPSTI participating countries and analyzed the contents of significant projects to derive ways to strengthen technological cooperation. Focusing on the PPSTI project, which has been ongoing for 18 years, this study investigated the network relationships and roles between countries, and analyzed the main project contents using clustering and topic modeling. First, Korea emerged as the leader in hosting, with Taiwan serving as a bridge, and Korea and the United States acting as negotiators or mediators. Second, the core contents of the PPSTI project primarily include policies for carbon neutrality, government and private technology education and support, and innovative technologies and policies related to climate technology. Detailed topics included water, biogas, climate, and energy. To exert influence in PPSTI's projects, it is vital to be proactive in hosting conferences and encouraging participation from various countries. Each country can determine its overall role in the network and establish a participation strategy to strengthen its influence.
