Abstract

The subject of this research is the small-scale trade between South Korea and China (this trade is a so-called shuttle trade.) This research attempts to find the background to the emergence of the Sino-South Korean (cross-border) small-scale trade and the role of travel routes between the two countries. This research also aims to identify the development process of the bilateral small-scale trade by studying the scale of the small-scale trade and the organization of small-scale traders. Moreover, this research tries to discover the spatial characteristics of the interregional small-scale trade by reviewing the characteristics of traded goods; process of export and import and nodes of small-scale trade. To accomplish aforementioned purposes, the author discussed the relations between small-scale traders and maritime companies. The author also studied the internal change in the small-scale trade by focusing on the reinforcement of the regulation against the small-scale trade. Lastly, the author cited the case of the Soviet Union and middle-eastern Europe, which tremendously expanded the small-scale trades in the 1980s, in order to explain the growth of the Sino-South Korean small-scale trade.

본 연구는 다수의 사람과 상품이 반복적으로 국경을 넘어 왕래하는 한 중 소무역, 일명 보따리 무역을 대상으로, 소무역의 등장 배경 및 성장 과정에서 한 중 여객 항로의 역할을 설명하고, 소무역의 규모와 소무역상의 조직, 그리고 소무역상의 구성 등의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 한 중소무역의 내적 변화과정을 규명하고, 한 중소무역에서 거래 품목의 특성과수출입 과정 및 소무역 결절지의 특성을 고찰함으로써 한 중 소무역의 공간적 특성을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 위와 같은 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해, 한 중 소무역과 해운사의 관계를 논의했고, 한 중 소무역의 내적 변화를 소무역에 대한 규제 강화를 중심으로 고찰했으며, 한 중 소무역을 설명하기 위해 1980년대 말부터 소무역이 폭발적으로 증가한 구소련 및 중 동부 유럽의 소무역 현상에 관해 논의했다.
