This paper analyzes the role of investiture of Crown Prince during the Joseon period in terms of succession planning. In the Joseon Dynasty, the throne was inherited to the ‘jeokjangja (嫡長子: the eldest son of the legitimate wife)’ as a rule. Accordingly, the Crown Prince was determined without verifying the ability of the Prince or the process of internal competition. In order to realize successful succession of leadership, it is necessary to first find a candidate with the best qualities, and second, make the candidate the best heir through education and training. The first condition, however, could not be met in the Joseon Dynasty.
Ironically, Confucianism, the ruling ideology of Joseon, considers ideal for the wisest and most capable person with good character to become the king. Therefore, during the Joseon Dynasty, a great deal of time and effort were spent on educating the Crown Prince so that he could obtain the qualification as the successor to the throne. That is why ‘Sigangwon,’ the institution specializing in educating the Crown Prince was established. However, when a Crown Prince fails to obtain the qualifications necessary for the position in the end even with these efforts, he was replaced by the King despite of political burden. Such was the case of Prince Yangnyeong dethroned by King Taejong and Prince Sado, who was killed by King Youngjo.
In addition, the practical cases related to Crown Prince during the Joseon period are informing and meaningful in terms of succession planning in that they prevented the risk of leadership gap, created the environment for successors and provided practical training opportunities through daeri-cheongjeong (代理聽政: regency of the prince). This study aims to enhance understanding of the royal succession and governing leadership of the Joseon Dynasty through careful examination of the institution of Crown Prince.
