1880년대 전반 조선의 서구적 교섭(交涉) 개념 수용과 통리교섭통상사무아문 정비 -김윤식(金允植)의 대외인식변화와 활동을 중심으로-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the existence of the Foreign Office(統理交涉通商事務衙門) shows, modern diplomacy in Joseon was institutionalized in the name of ‘intercourse(交涉)’ with some restrictions. Originally, ‘intercourse’ had a negative connotation of interacting with foreigners and was perceived as a kind of disruption in Joseon. But its meaning was redefined to correspond to intercourse, which refers to the dispatch of a envoy according to the Western custom in treaties signed by East Asian countries. This paper identifies this as the Western concept of intercourse and explores the process of limited institutionalization of modern diplomacy by adopting this concept in Joseon, focusing on the activities of Kim Yun-sik.<BR/> The Western concept of intercourse is particularly relevant to the function of the resident envoy system. In principle, ‘intercousrse(交涉)’ corresponds to the relationship between states, but it can also refer to the correspondence(交涉往來) between consuls and local officials, as well as to judicial proceeding/justice(交涉事件, 案件).<BR/> Despite some limitations, it should be noted that Joseon sought to institutionalize the functional aspects of diplomacy represented by envoys through the Western concept of intercourse. Rather, it is symbolic of the historical situation of Joseon in the 1880s that the presence of Qing forced Joseon to adopt only the functional and practical aspects of modern diplomacy centered on envoys through the name of ‘intercourse’ instead of explicit and full diplomacy.
