Abstract: 2020년대 들어 복합적 글로벌 위기와 미ㆍ중 패권 경쟁 심화로 인해 세계 경제는 글로벌 분업을 통한 효율성보다 공급망 안정성을 중시하는 구조로 전환되고 있다. 이러한 환경 변화 속에서 한국도 경제협력 다변화를 최우선 과제로 추진하는 중이다. 한국기업은 중국을 넘어 동남아시아로 생산기지를 확대해왔으나 투자가 베트남에 집중되어 있는 상황으로, 동남아시아의 경제가 빠르게 성장함에 따라 이를 대체할 수 있는 새로운 제조기지 발굴의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 풍부한 인적자원 및 천연자원을 보유하고 미국과 유럽 시장 진출의 교두보로서 전략적 잠재력을 지닌 아프리카가 유망한 협력 대상으로 부상하고 있다. Amid complex global crises and the intensifying U.S.–China rivalry, the world economy has been shifting from an efficient system based on global division of labor toward a structure prioritizing supply chain resilience. In response, Korea has been emphasizing diversification of its economic partnership, and expanding its production bases beyond China to other regions. Southeast Asia has emerged as one of the major economic partners in this strategy, yet Korean investment remains heavily concentrated in Vietnam. As regional economies continue to advance, Korean companies are increasingly compelled to seek new alternative manufacturing bases both within and beyond the region. In this context, Africa, endowed with abundant human and natural resources and strategically positioned as a gateway to U.S. and European markets, has gained prominence as a potential partner for industrial cooperation.
