Japan-Russia Relations and the Miraculous Revival of Suzuki Muneo
At the start of the 2000s, Suzuki Muneo was one of the most prominent politicians in Japan. Elected to the House of Representatives for the first time in 1983, Suzuki eventually served eight terms. He became a powerful figure in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and was appointed head of the Hokkaidō and Okinawa Development agencies in 1997. He also became deputy chief cabinet secretary in the government of Obuchi Keizō in 1998. However, while t…
Japan's Foreign Relations in Asia
China–Japan relations after World War Two
Japan's defeat in 1945 and its withdrawal from continental Asia resulted in the breaking of long-established economic ties with China. This estrangement deepened with the emergence of the Cold War. On separate sides of the geopolitical divide, and with Tokyo recognizing the regime in Taipei and not Beijing, bilateral economic exchange all but evaporated. It was only with the normalization of relations in September 1972 that Japan was again able t…

The Moment of Truth for Prime Minister Abe's Russia policy
Prime Minister Abe Shinzō's anticipated trip to St Petersburg and Moscow at the end of May 2018 represents the culmination of his "new approach" to Russia. Unveiled two years earlier, this policy seeks to achieve a breakthrough in the countries' long-standing territorial dispute by reducing Japan's initial demands and offering incentives in the form of enhanced political and economic engagement. Having stuck resolutely with this policy despite cr…

Abe's 2016 Plan to Break the Deadlock in the Territorial Dispute with Russia
The territorial dispute between Japan and Russia has its origins in the closing stages of the Second World War. Specifically, after declaring war on Japan on the evening of 8 August 1945 (two days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima), the Soviet Union launched large-scale offensives against Japanese positions in Manchuria, Korea, and Sakhalin. Even after the broadcast of Japan's surrender on 15 August, the Soviet advance continued. The Soviet f…
A Nightmare Painted by Goya”
The Western powers and Russia came head-to-head over the August 2013 chemical weapons attacks in Syria. Not only did Moscow stridently oppose Western plans to intervene militarily, it also steadfastly refused to accept that the Syrian regime had been responsible, a position that the U.S. president described as an “insult to reason.” This article examines how it can be that the Russian government was able to maintain such a seemingly absurd stance…
Towards an Anti-Japanese Territorial Front? Russia and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Dispute
This article examines Russia's position on the Senkaku/Diaoyu dispute. It focuses particularly on the claim that Russia and China are forming an anti-Japanese territorial front. Looking closely at official statements and actions, as well as Russian-language media and scholarship, it finds that Russia, while retaining a position of formal neutrality, clearly considers China's claims more favourably. While this could be seen to have alarming implic…
Not Even Two? New developments in the territorial dispute between Russia and Japan
The territorial dispute between Russia and Japan over the Southern Kurils/Northern Territories has long been in a state of impasse. In simple terms, while Russia has conceded to transfer the islands of Shikotan and Habomai after the conclusion of a peace treaty, Japan insists that its sovereignty over all four of the disputed islands be recognised. Despite lengthy bilateral negotiations over seven decades and numerous imaginative proposals by aca…

Oil Fueled? The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 remains a deeply puzzling event. The action was uncharacteristic of Moscow's Third World policy and extremely self-destructive. Moreover, archival sources reveal that, just nine months earlier, the Politburo was strongly opposed to such an undertaking. Based on archival documents, this article examines what could have caused this sudden, reckless shift in policy, and attention is drawn to a hith…
The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Russian–Japanese relations
There can be no question that 2011 marked a turning point for Japan in many respects. In addition to the immediate environmental, health, and social consequences of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis, the disaster will have profound political implications. This paper investigates the significance of these effects in one area: Russian–Japanese relations. Specifically, it is asked whether, in combination with pre-existing economic and stra…
A Stereotype, Wrapped in a Cliché, inside a Caricature
This article distils Edward Said's celebrated critique of Orientalism and applies it to the mainstream Western discourse on Russian foreign policy. It finds that the literature in this field, while not as afflicted as the material towards which Said's strident criticism was originally directed, displays a number of the characteristic symptoms of Orientalism – the exaggeration of difference, assumption of Western superiority and resort to clichéd …
