외교문서 속의 민단‒1975년까지의 외교사료를 중심으로‒

Abstract

This study aims to confirm how the government recognized Mindan(民団) by checking the activity aspects of Mindan appearing in diplomatic documents, 158 public documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the diplomatic documents, the most characteristic description of the role of Mindan was when it was active as the grand pole of Chongryon(総連). As with the founding process of Mindan, unlike the domestic situation in Korea, it was in conflict with Chongryon, so Mindan had no choice but to react sensitively and promptly to Chongryon.

As with the founding process of Mindan, unlike the domestic situation in Korea, it was in conflict with Chongryon, so Mindan had no choice but to react sensitively and promptly to Chongryon. However, as revealed at the “Mindan Reinforcement Meeting”, the various demands that Mindan constantly demanded were ignored or not dealt with much in the first place. This was because the government valued the role of Chongryon as a confrontation point above all else. The government’s perception of the public group eventually led to the unfortunate end of the Rejection policy.
