遭遇와 衝突로 高句麗 後期를 이해하다 -김진한, 2020, 『고구려 후기 대외관계사 연구』-

Abstract

In the rapidly changing international situation of East Asia in the period of from the 5th to the 7th centuries, Goguryeo became one of the axises of the international order in East Asia, with frequent diplomatic negotiations and armed conflict with various forces. Then, the most important thing that we should note to understand Goguryeo in the 5th and 7th centuries is foreign relations such as diplomacy and war. Diplomacy and war take place by reflecting the international order of the times and the diplomatic capacity of each country or the interests of the ruling powers. Therefore, in order to understand foreign relations at the time, it is necessary to accurately identify not only the international order at the time, but also the internal trends of each country. Recently, considering these factors, Kim Jin-han published 『A Study on the History of Foreign Relations in the Late Goguryeo』. The author systematically organized the foreign relations of the late Goguryeo period from the perspective of dynamic relations[Internal affair], inter-operating the state of Goguryeo with the international situation in East Asia[Diplomatic affairs]. This paper will introduce the composition and contents of the book and show the ideas of the writer. The book deals with internal and external affairs of not only Goguryeo but also the other powers that had relations with Goguryeo. It studied all powers not just specific powers to describe the international relations systematically and generally in eastern Asia at that time. So it greatly contributed to the study of foreign relations of Goguryeo.
