Japan was sometimes described as a country of "peace" during the
Cold War period, in contrast to the continental border conflicts
taking place at the time, such as the China-Soviet rivalry.
However, as the maritime frontier was "rediscovered" and defined by
the regional powers and legal refinements of the 1970s, the process
of states seeking a secure maritime zone has accelerated and
maritime rivalries have become as intense as inland rivalries. This
book examines the territorial disputes souring relations between
Japan and its three neighbours: Russia, South Korea and China. It
combines an empirical study with theoretical advancements in
comparative research to understand the Cold War and post-Cold War
border issues related to Japan, particularly the Northern
Territories/South Kurils dispute with Russia; Takeshima/Dokto with
Korea; and Senkaku/Diaoyu with China and Taiwan. Based on the
history of negotiations with the Soviet Union and Russia over the
course of fifty years, the study offers a series of practical
suggestions to enable these disputes to be separated from arguments
over their history and resolved on the basis of the principle of
mutual advantage for those affected by them. This book provides not
only the key to resolving these three disputes affecting East Asia,
but the framework in which to seek the resolution of other
territorial issues worldwide. Explaining the history and possible
outcomes of Japan's territorial disputes with Russia, South Korea
and China whilst providing concrete steps for resolving entrenched
territorial disputes, this book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of International Relations, Japanese Politics
and International Law.
