the main land of Australia where you can just have interviews and ask questions. How and
when questions are asked and framed is very carefully calibrated for these cultural conditions.
Finally, in relation to the issue of the possible conflict between economics and culture in
the areas we’ve been talking about, I’ve talking very positively about the fact that these
conflicts should not be seen as conflicts but that they can actually move together. The
emphasis on the economic contribution of culture is really just a way I think in some respect
of international agenda of getting culture on the table. It is often the way in which you can
persuade ministers of finance and other hard-headed people that culture is important because
of potentials for economic contributions. It is actually the cultural contents and artistic
cultural contenst that is really what’s important about culture. The potential for economic
contributions is instrumentally useful in achieving the sorts of things that the MDGs are
going after. As a part of the agenda, the nuances or strategies may be necessary in order to
advance the cause of culture on the table in the review of MDGs.

I have reconsidered what Professor Koo’s remark on regional culture. I agree that in
smaller countries with large market capacity, such as Korea, taking an economic approach
without proper funding to promotion of regional cultural events without applying the laws of
the market may risk a distortion of the cause.
However, this same logic may not apply to the developing nations. When taking an
economic approach without proper funding, the market is unlikely to survive. This is because
in order for the market to be intact, a vertical integration is needed beginning from the basic
infrastructure. Without such conditions, even if a country possesses a significant cultural
heritage, it will not bring forth economic benefit. Thus, to a certain degree, funds should be
provided from the ODA. After a while, market logic can be applied.
I hope Korea takes on the role of a catalyst to provide an advanced framework for ODA.
Our ODA is actually not feasible. We do not owe anything to others since we were never a
colonialist nation nor a regional hegemony. Our ODA is out of good faith. The reason why
our ODA does not have a set direction is because we are not obligated to help anyone. Our
ODA is based on a shared understanding or one another. To achieve this goal, we must stop
sending technicians without a field specialist Such change should be initiated among the
program developers.
