Abstract

When the King Sejong succeeded to the throne in 1418, only 26 years have passed since Chosun dynasty was established. At that time domestically the governance system was not made perfectly. The dynasty had to experience extreme drought for 7 years including earthquakes, hail, typhoon and natural disaster. In addition, internationally both Japanese invaders in the southern area and barbarians in the northern area were engaging in plunder. The Ming Dynasty in China demanded an unreasonable tribute out of Chosun dynasty. The situation was very poor conditions. However, despite of having difficulties both at home and abroad, they were overcome with wisdom. King Sejong Dynasty was politically, economically, socially the most stable in our history. Our culture was the most prosperous time. The mind just loving King Sejong's people in such a soil, a genius and, a lot of effort made it possible. Therefore, it will be very useful to look through the Analysis of Co-word Analysis together which is modern research methods, that is, network analysis about who were as center force of government operation which made this time possible . This will be a very meaningful research to examine who was the most real influence of participants in conducting government operation and how much was a dispersion of power and an opportunity to access about more historical entity of the time. In this research, by analyzing the correlation of the relations between participants conducting government operation in the King Sejong’s reign of the age, the dynamic process of government operation will be examined. The purpose of this study is to examine 1) the environment caused changes of participant conducting government operation, 2) who is the key actor with government operation network, 3) to identify structure of the network through interaction 4) who is in the network of its central location. These studies will contribute greatly to essentially understand the King Sejong's period, and will be significant work to analyze the historical fact through modern statistical techniques. In general, dynamic change of the central power of the government operation is examined about the analysis of changes in the network each time with network’s visualization, principal components and the analysis of the center, degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality each time. As a result, based on major governance structure of the reign of King Sejong, Uukjo-jikgyeje and Uyjeongbu-sesaje, there were a clear change network of main participants, and in the case of Yukjo-jikgyeje the period led in the political situation by King Taejong and ruled directly by King Sejong was different. In the case of Uyjeongbu-sesaje, there was a centrality change of participants of government operation during the time ruled directly about political affairs by King Sejong and the interim period of time ruled by crown prince. Like this, dynamic change of major national players in the era of King Sejong's reign was evident. When this country's main pending issues emerged, a series of policies to resolve the problem appeared. Participants related to specific policy for enforcement in. such a process formed a network the various actors involved in the course of many conflicts, cooperation and coordination. The central power exists in such a network. And this central forces was keeping their power and influence during a certain period of time and such initiative was weakened when environment changed and other powers was replaced by the concentration of power, distributed to new forces, emerged as the front of the history. These facts have no exception in reign of King Sejong. But there was still a king in the pinnacle of power of Chosun Dynasty with powerful centralized system state.
