[한국근대사 북토크] 일제 시기 이전의 한반도 중립화 "투쟁"에 대하여
---
- 북토크 광고가 나와서 찾아보니, 이미 다른 곳에서의 북토크가 녹화된 것이 있어서 드려다 보았는데, 이런 말이 나온다.
- 21분 정도에서부터: 한반도 중립화 제안은 8개국으로 부터 있었는데, 물론 한국을 포함하고, 그외로, 중국, 일본, 영국, 프랑스, 미국, 등이 포함된다. 그런데 놀랍게도, 그 첫번째 제안은 어느 일본의 신문으로부터였다고 한다. 신문 이름이 조금 알아듣기 힘들다. <유빈 코오치 신붕>?

Surviving Imperial IntriguesKorea’s Struggle for Neutrality amid Empires, 1882–1907
By Sangpil Jin
SERIES: Hawai‘i Studies on KoreaUniversity of Hawai‘i Press
In Surviving Imperial Intrigues, Sangpil Jin explores how successful Korean neutralization could have radically transformed the balance of power equation in East Asia. He conducted multilocational archival work, analyzing documents from the Austro-Hungarian Empire Ministry of Foreign Affairs, British Foreign Office, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, German Foreign Office, Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Russian Foreign Office, Russian State Naval Archive, and US State Department, as well as perusing private papers and newspapers. What surfaced in these readings were disparate voices of multiple actors and their agendas concerning Korean neutrality and dynamic international relations in modern East Asia.
Jin argues that although never implemented, Korean neutralization had the potential to succeed during the British occupation of Kŏmundo (1885–1887).
He further points out that neutralization has recently resurfaced as a possible option for a unified Korean state to preserve its strategic flexibility amidst the US pivot to Asia and China’s re-emergence as a potential hegemon in the region.
While neutralization is the focal point of the book, Jin also analyzes Korea’s complex and layered relations with China, Japan, Russia, and the United States, within the overall framework of Sino-Japanese, Anglo-Russian, and Russo-Japanese rivalries.
A periphery state in the contemporary international system, Korea was forced to navigate through intricate diplomatic relations with major imperial powers. Jin skillfully directs his academic lens toward understanding the stories behind Korea’s contentious relations and the rivalries among the powers.
The timespan of his study stretching from 1882 to 1907 reflects his unique periodization that offers a groundbreaking view of Korean diplomatic history from a more regional geography paradigm. In recent years, contemporary South Korea has been learning to reassess its strategic position in the emerging Sino–US bipolarity in the Asia-Pacific region.
This book serves as a historical guide for both specialists and policymakers who require a nuanced grasp of the new era of geopolitical shift, likely dominated by the two powers (China and the United States) that possess a distinct understanding of the norms and structure of the international order.
