일본의 대한(對韓) 경제보복에 대한 소고(小考) - 한일대립의 본질과 실태를 중심으로

Abstract

Korea and Japan have problems with economic disparities and economic disparities. It has also been complicated for many years in politics, society and culture. Nevertheless, Korea and Japan have had a relatively stable relationship. That is a serious crisis in the mid-2010s.　The main reason for this change is the dissolution of the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, which was established in December 2015 by agreement between the two countries. Also in November 2018, the Korean Supreme Court also played a large part in reimbursement of forced laborers. In response to the actions of the Korean government, the Japanese government strongly insisted on respect for consensus among nations and compliance with international law. In July 2019, the Japanese government tightened export restrictions on Korea, a key material for semiconductor production. In August of the same year, Korea was excluded from the white list. The Korean government responded promptly to Japan's unilateral and hostile economic retaliation against Korea. In August 2019, it announced the suspension of the extension of the Korea-Japan Military Information Security Agreement (GISOMIA.). Of course, measures were taken to remove Japan from the white list. In recent years, along with Japan's move to ease export regulations, the crisis on military security surrounding the Korean Peninsula has eased considerably. There are signs of change in Korea-Japan relations, the worst of the two governments. Nevertheless, the fundamental elements of conflict between the two countries have not been resolved. In order to resolve the issues of the two governments in the future, continuous efforts in various fields are necessary.
