지리학 연구와 국제기구 - 동해명칭의 국제표준화와 관련하여 - = Geographical Studies and International Organizations: Concerning International Standardization of the Geographical Name of East Sea

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문은 국제기구의 다양한 활동과 관련하여 지리학 분야가 공헌 할 수 있는 가능성과 미래 새로운 영역 개발의 필요성을 동해명칭의 국제표준화 과정을 사례로 점검하였다. 지명을 국제적으로 표준화를 담당하는 국제기구로는 UN 내에 지명표준화회의와 지명전문가회의가 있으며 동해와 같이 바다명칭안을 다루는 기구로는 국제수로기구로 각 기구는 이와 관련된 결의안을 이미 확보하고 있다. 그러나, 현실에서는 본 결의안을 수행하는데는 양자 혹은 다자 협의가 필수적이라 많은 노력이 요망되고 있다. 그간 정부와 학계의 노력으로 동해표기가 지도제작사에 의해 빠른 속도로 확산되고 있다. 지명 외에 WTO, 해양문제, 환경과 기후 영토와 국경 문제, FTA 등을 포함한 “지리학의 국제관계”를 다루는 새로운 분야를 개척하여 지리학자가 직접 국제간에 결정과정에 참여 할 수 있도록 노력하여야 겠다.<br/>

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper deals with a possible contribution to international relations and affairs by the discipline of geography and raises the necessity of a new field in geography that would study relations between nations. The proposed change of the name 'East Sea' is used as a case study in promoting international standardization. Two major international organizations oversee the international standardization of geographical names. One is the UN Conferences of the Standardization of the Geographical Names which works in association with the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names, and the other is the International Hydrographic Organization. These two organizations have in the past passed all the relevant resolutions pertaining to geographical names. From recent developments on the Korean Peninsula. however, it has become evident that international disputes on place names sometimes require a long process of consultation with the relevant parties. Efforts being made to restore the historically appropriate name of 'East Sea' as opposed to the 'Sea of Japan' have only now begun to diffuse in many areas. It would be appropriate if geographers could develop a new area of 'Geography of International Relations' that deals with wro, oceans, environment and climatic issues, FTA, as well as territories and boundaries Furthermore, it would improve the quality of discourse if geographers participated more in the decision-making processes in international affairs.<br/>
