독도 영유권 문제에 대한 한·일 양국의 기본적인 입장에 관한 고찰- 교환공문에 나타난 역사적 근거를 중심으로 -

Abstract

In this thesis, the purpose of this thesis is to examine what was the issue in the dispute over diplomatic documents between the two governments from 1953 to 1965 based on historical evidence only, and to examine the transformation of the issue. The views of the two governments of Korea and Japan are that they claim their sovereignty over Dokdo based on detailed data and historical evidence, and at the same time deny the other side's claim, and they continue to hold this position to this day. These two countries' claims related to Dokdo's sovereignty over Dokdo have been suggested piecemeal so far, but they have not been systematically analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the arguments and variations of the claims relate d to Dokdo territorial sovereignty through the analysis of the exchange official docu ments from 1953 to 1965, which can be said to be the source of the claim between the two countries. In particular, Korea views Japan's territorial annexation of Dokdo as part of the Japanese imperialist aggression process on the Korean Peninsula, and Japan views Korea's annexation of Dokdo as a completely separate matter. Therefore, there is an insurmountable gap between Korea and Japan from the basic historical perception of the Dokdo issue. As such, Korea and Japan are standing at different points of view in relation to the Dokdo issue, and it is hard to see a stepping stone for resolving this aporia. In order to break this contradictory structure, it is necessary to make an effort to make our argument appear as a reasonable argument to a third party.
