China Japan and South Korea's international relations are shaped by
the fact that all three countries are significant importers of
resources. This book brings together work on specific aspects of
the politics of resources for each of these countries, regionally
and internationally. There are some similarities in the approaches
taken by all these three. For example, their development assistance
shares a focus on infrastructure building and reluctance to
purposefully influence domestic politics. However, there are also
significant differences due in large part to the individual nature
of the states as international actors. China has significant
domestic supplies of resources while Japan and Korea are net
importers. China's size also marks it out as different, as does its
state socialist history and continuing authoritarian state. One of
the key issues to understanding contemporary resource politics in
Northeast Asia is that Western dominance of the world order is
currently declining. In some cases Northeast Asian approaches to
resources are seen as being mercantilist. In other cases Northeast
Asian powers are seen as replacing Western powers in exploiting
resource-rich developing countries. This book gives readers an
informed view of this very important issue in contemporary
international relations. This book was published as a special issue
of Asian Studies Review.
