초록

세종시대는 우리 역사에서 정치, 경제, 사회가 안정되고 문화가 가장 융성했던 시대이다. 이러한 바탕에는 세종의 백성을 사랑하는 마음, 그의 천재적인 능력 및 부단한 노력 그리고 당시 국정운영 중심세력들의 헌신적 노력 등이 있었기에 가능했을 것임으로 이 당시에 주요 국정중심세력들로 누가 있었는가를 살펴보는 것은 세종시대를 본질적으로 이해하는데 매우 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서 이 연구는 세종시기의 국정운영에의 참여자들 중 누가 가장 실제적 영향력을 행사하였고, 권력의 분산정도는 어떠했는가를 살펴보는데 있다. 이를 위해서 세종 32년간의 통치기간을 시기별로 구분하고, 그 시기에 따른 국정참여자들의 관계를 분석하여 세종시기의 주요 국정참여자들의 역동적 변화 과정을 살펴보았다.
이 연구는 세종시대의 시기별 국정운영참여자의 변화를 야기한 배경, 국정네트워크의 구성요소인 주요 행위자 및 이들의 상호작용을 통해 나타난 네트워크 구조의 파악, 나아가 네트워크에서 누가 가장 중심성 정도에 위치하는지 등을 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 세종시대의 주요한 통치구조인 육조직계제와 의정부서사제를 기점으로 주요 국정참여자들의 네트워크는 분명한 변화가 있었고, 또한 육조직계제의 경우에서도 상왕에 의해 정국이 주도된 시기와 세종이 직접 통치한 시기가 달랐고, 의정부서사제의 경우에서도 세종이 직접 정무의 대소사를 챙긴 시기와 세자가 대행한 기간의 국정참여자들의 중심성에서도 변화가 있었다.

영어초록

When the King Sejong succeeded to the throne in 1418, only 26 years have passed since Chosun dynasty was established. At that time domestically the governance system was not made perfectly. The dynasty had to experience extreme drought for 7 years including earthquakes, hail, typhoon and natural disaster. In addition, internationally both Japanese invaders in the southern area and barbarians in the northern area were engaging in plunder. The Ming Dynasty in China demanded an unreasonable tribute out of Chosun dynasty. The situation was very poor conditions. However, despite of having difficulties both at home and abroad, they were overcome with wisdom. King Sejong Dynasty was politically, economically, socially the most stable in our history. Our culture was the most prosperous time.
The mind just loving King Sejong's people in such a soil, a genius and, a lot of effort made it possible. Therefore, it will be very useful to look through the Analysis of Co-word Analysis together which is modern research methods, that is, network analysis about who were as center force of government operation which made this time possible .
This will be a very meaningful research to examine who was the most real influence of participants in conducting government operation and how much was a dispersion of power and an opportunity to access about more historical entity of the time. In this research, by analyzing the correlation of the relations between participants conducting government operation in the King Sejong’s reign of the age, the dynamic process of government operation will be examined.
The purpose of this study is to examine 1) the environment caused changes of participant conducting government operation, 2) who is the key actor with government operation network, 3) to identify structure of the network through interaction 4) who is in the network of its central location.
These studies will contribute greatly to essentially understand the King Sejong's period, and will be significant work to analyze the historical fact through modern statistical techniques.
In general, dynamic change of the central power of the government operation is examined about the analysis of changes in the network each time with network’s visualization, principal components and the analysis of the center, degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality each time.
As a result, based on major governance structure of the reign of King Sejong, Uukjo-jikgyeje and Uyjeongbu-sesaje, there were a clear change network of main participants, and in the case of Yukjo-jikgyeje the period led in the political situation by King Taejong and ruled directly by King Sejong was different. In the case of Uyjeongbu-sesaje, there was a centrality change of participants of government operation during the time ruled directly about political affairs by King Sejong and the interim period of time ruled by crown prince.
Like this, dynamic change of major national players in the era of King Sejong's reign was evident. When this country's main pending issues emerged, a series of policies to resolve the problem appeared. Participants related to specific policy for enforcement in. such a process formed a network the various actors involved in the course of many conflicts, cooperation and coordination. The central power exists in such a network.
And this central forces was keeping their power and influence during a certain period of time and such initiative was weakened when environment changed and other powers was replaced by the concentration of power, distributed to new forces, emerged as the front of the history. These facts have no exception in reign of King Sejong. But there was still a king in the pinnacle of power of Chosun Dynasty with powerful centralized system state.
