The unresolved territorial dispute between Japan and Russia over
the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories remains the largest
obstacle to concluding a peace treaty and fully normalising
bilateral relations between the two nations. This book traces the
evolution of transnational relations between subnational public
authorities in Hokkaido and Sakhalin, examining the
interrelationship between these ties and the Russo-Japanese
territorial dispute. The book investigates why the development of
Hokkaido-Sakhalin relations has failed to create, at the
subnational level, an environment conducive to resolving (kankyo
seibi) the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories dispute. Brad
Williams suggests that kankyo seibi has not worked primarily
because Russia's troubled transition to a liberal democratic market
economy has manifested itself in ways that have ultimately
increased the South Kuril Islands' intrinsic and instrumental value
for the Sakhalin public and regional elite. This in turn has
limited the impact from the twin transnational processes of
cultural and economic exchange in alleviating opposition to the
transferral of these disputed islands to Japan. Drawing upon a
wealth of primary and secondary sources from both countries, this
book utilises levels of analysis and an analytical framework that
incorporates national and subnational, as well as governmental and
non-governmental forces to discuss a relatively unexplored aspect
of Russo-Japanese relations. As such, Resolving the Russo-Japanese
Territorial Dispute will appeal to students and scholars of Asian
politics, international relations and post-communist states.
