Abstract

This research project primarily aims to analyze and evaluate the process of King Sejong’s statecraft in terms of each important political case based on a “leadership approach” to the King Sejong era. This study is expected to contribute to overcome and compensate for the limitations and problems of the existing studies of King Sejong, while clarifying the features of “Confucian statecraft” and paving the way for its conceptualization. This project aims to explore the whole process of statecraft in the Joseon period based on the spirit of “reviewing the old and learning the new”; put another way, this would be “getting better knowledge of the things that were unknown by examining and reflecting upon past experiences”—and ultimately aims to fulfill the tasks entrusted with Korean studies in the 21st century by creating a new paradigm of knowledge that contributes to the statecraft of contemporary Korea.
