한국 화교 공동체 조직의 변천과 특징

Abstract

This paper systematically examines the evolution, characteristics, and role of Korean overseas Korean community organizations over the past hundred years. Korean overseas Chinese organizations have played an important role in the development and unity of the Korean overseas Chinese community, but there is a great lack of research on them. Therefore, through a survey on the social organizations of overseas Koreans, this book reveals the current status of trend organizations and overseas Korean associations and explores the process of organization formation in the Korean overseas Korean community. In particular, we analyzed the Seoul and Incheon areas, which are the economic centers of the Korean diaspora with the largest diaspora population today. By examining the formation and development of social organizations in Incheon and Seoul, which are the nucleus of the overseas Korean community, we explain the changes in the overseas Korean community since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Korea in terms of the government’s increased interest in and policies toward the overseas Korean community, the rapid development of private economic and trade relations between China and Korea, efforts to expand overseas exchanges, and the revival of the overseas Korean community. He also pointed out that the mutual migration of Chinese and Korean citizens will have an important impact on the future development of both countries.
