AB - This study aims to trace the functional changes in parliamentary diplomacy channels between Korea and Japan since 2010 and to analyze the factors behind these changes. It reviews the activity records of the Korea-Japan Parliamentarians’ Union since 2010. The characteristics identified as a result of this review are as follows: First, despite the ups and downs in Korea-Japan relations, the Korea-Japan Parliamentarians’ Union has continued to serve as a connector between the two parliaments, regardless of the external environment.
Second, since 2010, the Korea-Japan Parliamentarians’ Union’s joint general meetings have not directly addressed conflict issues such as historical grievances, but have primarily focused on topics closely related to daily life, such as hate speech. Third, during the period of escalating Korea-Japan conflict, the dialogue channel between the KoreaJapan parliaments failed to expand to the core members of the Liberal Democratic Party. The structural background for this situation includes the generational change in Japanese politics, former Prime Minister Abe’s 70th anniversary speech, and the diplomatic unification led by the Prime Minister’s Office. Fourth, since Abe’s return to power in 2012, Japan has pursued an “All Japan” diplomacy centered on the Prime Minister’s Office, with parliamentary diplomacy as one of its key components. In contrast, Korea’s parliamentary diplomacy has inevitably weakened in intensity as the messages regarding diplomacy toward Japan have continued to be unified.
