一〇九九年における宋夏元符和議と遼宋事前交渉 : 遼宋並存期における國際秩序の研究

Abstract

The Yuanfu peace negotiation was concluded because of the death of the queen dowager of Xixia. Another factor working towards the conclusion is the pressure of Khitai, who supported Xixia, against Song, namely the advance negotiation between Khitai (Liao) and Song, which is the main theme of this article. There are two points of significance that invite further research: The first one is the bilateral relationship between Khitai and Song. Since these negotiations were comparatively constructive, the characteristics of the relations of the two empires in this period can be illuminated through this article. The second is concerning the tripartite relationship between Khitai, Song, and Xixia. The examination of the relations between these three states in this period will lead to the investigation of multi-state systems in Northeast Asia in the latter half of 11 th Century. In this article, after the historical background and concrete process of the negotiation has been described, the following points are discussed; (1) Khitai's intention It was Khitai's intention to have an influence on Song and make Song and Xixia recognize Khitai to be the mediator as the leader among the surrounding powers. (2) The method of the negotiation The negotiations were based on diplomatic documents of the past, and the wording of these documents was the main subject of the negotiation. (3) The influence on the conclusion of the peace negotiation Song intended to conclude the peace negotiation without Khitai's interference. But in fact the participation of Khitai contributed to the early and successful conclusion. (4) The influence on the conditions of the peace negotiation The conditions of the peace negotiation were unfavorable towards Xixia, but Xixia managed to keep these at a minimum. This point shows the consideration of Song towards for Khitai.
