국민과 국적

Abstract

전통적인 국적 중심의 국민 개념은 우리나라에서 다소 편협하게 이해되어 왔고 따라서 비슷한 용어인 인민과의 잘못된 구별 등 일부 오해가 있었다. 최근에는 전통적인 국민 개념을 넘어서는 현상들도 나타나고 있다. 이 글에서는 전통적인 국민에 관한 이론들의 문제점을 지적하고 불분명하였던 부분들을 수정 내지 보완하는 논리를 제시하였다.

The traditional concept of the national based on nationality is understood somewhat narrowly in Korea, so there are some misunderstandings as to a difference between the concept of the national and the people. In recent days there happen cases that we cannot explain with a traditional concept of the national. This study points out the problems of the traditional theory of the national, and suggests a theory that revises or amends uncertain elements of the traditional theory.
