Formation of Modern Understanding on International Relations in Korea

首先，阐明了以19世纪朝鲜为中心的西方国际关系知识信息网络的存在与变迁<th>。通过对全球性、区域性、国家性知识与信息网络的动态性的研究，为进一步研究19世纪朝鲜对国际关系的理解提供了基础<th>。第二，我在韩国发现了一种新型的现代化的国际关系理解。闵永益主张韩国国际关系西化是可取的，同时加强了与中国的外交关系。他对西方国际关系的矛盾认识，可以作为修正19世纪朝鲜国际关系思想认识的起点。

Firstly, I clarified the existence and change of network of knowledge and information on western international relations surrounding 19^<th> century's Korea. By the research on the dynamism of global, regional, national networks of knowledge and information, I provided the base of further research on the understanding on international relations in 19^<th> century's Korea. Secondly, I found a new type of modernized understanding on international relations in Korea. MIN Yong-Ik asserted that the westernization of Korean international relations was desirable, and Korea strengthened the diplomatic relations with China, simultaneously. His ambivalent view on western international relations can be the starting point for revising the understanding on thoughts on international relations in 19th century's Korea.
