Okinawa, Taiwan, and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in United States-Japan-China Relations
The dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands erupted in the 1970s, but the territorial dispute between Japan and China itself had started earlier, over Okinawa, immediately after the Second World War. The major point of dispute in the Senkaku/Diaoyu issue is whether these islands are part of Okinawa or part of Taiwan. The former is the position of the Japanese government, while the latter is the position of both Chinese governments, that is, the P…

From Cold War Thaws to the Arctic Thaw
Global climate change is profoundly reshaping the Arctic region, not only physically but also in international politics. Yet Arctic development is of concern to more than the Circumpolar states. The issues are global, and East Asia is no exception. Japan, South Korea and China in particular have been increasingly deepening their involvement in Arctic affairs. The evolving situation of the Arctic region could also have significant impact on politi…
The San Francisco Peace Treaty and Frontier Problems in the Regional Order in East Asia
Sixty years have passed since the signing and enactment of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. This post-World War II settlement with Japan, prepared and signed against the background of the intensifying Cold War, sowed seeds of frontier problems that continue to challenge regional security in East Asia. Taking the "San Francisco System" as its conceptual grounding, this article examines these problems in the context of the post-World War II regional…

Untying the Kurillian Knot
Contrary to the post-Cold War globalization discourse, which tends to posit a de-territorialized and borderless world, issues of border demarcation and territorial sovereignty, which are classical components of international relations, continue to provide sources of conflict and remain significant problems of international concern. Even though emphasis in international relations shifts from time to time, it does not necessarily diminish the resid…
Micronesia and the Postwar Remaking of the Asia Pacific
The post-war Asia-Pacific witnessed many conflicts involving major regional players. These include the divided Korean Peninsula, the Cross-Taiwan Strait problem, and the sovereignty disputes over the Southern Kuriles/"Northern Territories", and the Tokdo/Takeshima, Diaoyu/Senkaku, and Spratly/Nansha islands. These and others, such as the ongoing Okinawa problem, emblematic of the large US military presence in the region, and the US-imposed outcom…
Cold War Frontiers in the Asia-Pacific
After World War II, many regional conflicts emerged in the Asia-Pacific, such as the divided Korean peninsula, the Cross-Taiwan Strait, the ‘Northern Territories’, (Southern Kuriles) Takeshima (Dokdo), Senkaku (Diaoyu) and the Spratly (Nansha) islands problems. These and other disputes, such as the Okinawa problem in relation to the US military presence in the region, all share an important common foundation in the post-war disposition of Japan, …
Antarctica in the San Francisco peace treaty
This article examines the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951 and its repercussions on modern international relations. In particular, it focuses on the clause in the Treaty which forced Japan to renounce its claim to Antarctica, together with a number of territories in the Asia-Pacific. Carefully tracing the history of the Treaty, the article shows how its earlier drafts and especially the clause in question were shaped by the political context in…
Cold War Frontiers in the Asia-Pacific
In September 1951 Japan signed a peace treaty with 48 countries in San Francisco. This postwar peace treaty fell far short of settling outstanding issues at the end of the Pacific War or facilitating a clean start for the "postwar" period. Rather, various aspects of the settlement were left equivocal, and continue to have significant and worrisome implications for regional international relations. The treaty's handling of territorial disposition …
Years from San Francisco
In September 1951, against the background of the escalating cold in Asia,Japan signed a peace treaty with forty-eight countries and returned to the international community as a member of the Western bloc. A half-century has passed since then and one decade has passed since the of the U.S.-USSR cold war, the collapse of the Yalta System and the beginning of the so-called post-cold war era. However, except for the demise of the Soviet Union, the in…
Rethinking the ‘Cold War’ in the Asia‐Pacific
Whereas the Yalta System collapsed and the Cold War ended in the Euro‐Atlantic context, the basic structure of the Cold War remains in the Asia‐Pacific region, and still provides potential sources for future conflicts. This paper reconsiders the regional Cold War and its implications for current international politics in the Asia‐Pacific region. It argues that the relaxation of tensions seen since the late 1980s resembles the 1970s’ détente in th…
Japanese-Soviet/Russian Relations since 1945
New light on the Russo‐Japanese territorial dispute
The territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, known as the ‘Northern Territories’ problem, is the biggest obstacle preventing the two nations from improving their relations. In 1994 an important and long‐sealed document regarding this issue was found at the Australian Archives. Published not long after the end of World War II, this Japanese government booklet might shed new light towards understanding the nature of this problem over the passa…
