Geo-Politics in Northeast Asia focuses on the dynamics of Northeast
Asia as a region. The chapters in this book offer a nuanced
approach for understanding the geo-politics of this strategically
critical area of the world. Focusing on China, Japan, Russia, and
the Koreas, as well as the involvement of the United States, the
contributors to the volume offer a timely and critical analysis of
Northeast Asia. They collectively emphasize the different scales at
which the region holds significance, and particularly note how the
region is often granted significance by local political forces as
well as national interests. Borderlands and sub-regions are
especially important in this perspective, and the contributors show
both how regionalism influences the people living in these areas
and how they in turn shape the political priorities of states. At
the same time, the worsening of relations between Japan and the
Koreas and the increasing assertiveness of both China and Russia
make it essential to understand the dynamics of the region, as well
as how they have changed during and following the Trump era.
Geo-Politics in Northeast Asia is essential reading for students
and scholars of Political Geography, International Relations and
Strategic Studies, as well as for those with a research focus on
Northeast Asia, or the wider Asia-Pacific and Indo-Pacific regions.
Migration and borders are at the center of political debates in
South Asia and around the world as more people migrate in search of
safety and opportunity. This book brings a deep engagement with
individuals whose lives are shaped by encounters with borders by
telling the stories of a poor Bangladeshi women who regularly
crosses the India border to visit family, of Muslims from India
living in Gulf countries for work, and the harrowing journey of a
young Afghan man as he sets off on foot to Germany. The
international and interdisciplinary work in this book contributes
to this moment by analyzing how borders are experienced by migrants
and borderlanders in South Asia, how mobility and diaspora are
engaged in literature and media, and how the lives of migrants are
transformed during their journey to new homes in South Asia, the
Middle East, North America, and Europe.
