Central Asia as New Battle Grounds: Critical Mineral Strategies of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
This paper examines how the energy transition may reproduce a “green resource curse” and how Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan attempt to escape it. While debates emphasize upstream ESG compliance or downstream clean-tech deployment, this paper argues the decisive arena is the midstream—smelting, refining, and separation—where value addition, quality, and supply security are set. Because midstream capacity is more concentrated than mining, mineral flows …
China’s Control over the Global Supply Chain of Rare Earth Elements since 2005 and US Responses
2010년 중국의 대일 희토류 수출규제는 단기의 자원무기화로 인한 외교적 효과를 얻기 위한 것이라기보다는 중국의 희토류 부가가치 고도화, 국산화, 일괄 수직생산 체계의 완성이 하나의 사건을 통해 표출된 것이다. 희토류 공급망의 성격 때문에 중국의 희토류 생산 비중이 감소하고 미국을 포함한 중국밖(Rest of World)의 희토류 공급이 증가함에도 불구하고 중국의 희토류 공급망 장악은 크게 감소하지 않았다. 본 논문의 목적은 2010년 중국의 대일 희토류수출금지 조치 이후 글로벌 희토류 수요 공급구도 변화를 재생에너지와 전기차 산업의 확대에 따른 중희토류 소재 네오디뮴과 디스프로슘 공급망 관점에서 분석하고 2019년 이후 중국의 대미 희토류 수출금지 조치 가능성이 다시 제기됨에 따른 미국 희토류 국산화 전략의 가능성과 한계를 분석하는 것이다
Russia’s Arms Sales Policy After the Ukraine Sanctions
Russia sells arms primarily to enhance its influence abroad in key regions, e.g., the Middle East, East, and South Asia. Since the government is the primary customer for this sector’s goods, this sector does not risk collapse even if arms sales decline though arms sales bring vital foreign currency. But, the intervening motive between seeking enhanced global influence and maintaining the defense sector is the acquisition of elite rents since the …
The New Great Game of Caspian energy in 2013–14: ‘Turk Stream’, Russia and Turkey
Rerouting South Stream through Turkey, Russia is striking at Azerbaijan and at potential Central Asian gas exporters to Europe. Over the last couple of years, under Baku’s lead, Azerbaijan and Turkey have been working on bringing to fruition the so-called Southern Gas Corridor (SGC), which aims to bring Caspian-sourced gas through the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) to the Turco-Greek border and, from there, to South-eastern Europe via the Trans…
Russia and Latin America: The New Frontier for Geopolitics, Arms Sales and Energy
Russia attempts to leverage itself onto the global stage and be portrayed as a global power that must be consulted on major global issues. It does so in order to claim a status of equality with the United States and force it to consider Russian interests before the United States acts in those regions where Russia claims to have vital or important interests, even though its ability to play on a truly global stage is quite limited. Nevertheless, fo…

Arms Sales and Russia's Future as an Asian Power
The study of a country's arms sales opens up pathways for investigating its domestic and foreign policies. Arms sales are also a phenomenon that is greatly affected by globalization. This is certainly the case for Russia, especially as regards its arms sales to Asia. This article analyzes Russian arms sales to Asia and finds that despite Moscow's professed optimism that it can continue to maintain a competitive edge and its standing as a key Asia…
The A rctic and New Security Challenges in A sia
The most under‐reported aspect of the A rctic's growing importance is its impact upon A sia's international relations. There is an enormous need for energy due to the rise of C hina and other A sian countries as the most dynamic region of the global economy. The introduction of the A rctic into the A sian equation could enhance R ussia's role. This article explores a process of interaction between the A rctic and N ortheast A sian issues, like S …
Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in Russia: Contending Paradigms and Current Perspectives
The most outstanding trend in contemporary conflicts has been the fusion of the threats from terrorism and insurgency. Insurgent threats in many places on the globe today are mistaken as terrorist threats, and counterterrorism (CT) is deployed as the local insurgents come increasingly to resemble their transnational terrorist partners. Such an emphasis on the role of terrorism in insurgencies and the undue focus on CT risks strengthening, rather …

Same Bed, Different Dreams: China's ‘peaceful rise’ and Sino–Russian rivalry in Central Asia
China is already outpacing Russia, which is encountering ever more difficulties in trying to arrange a continental bloc of satellite states. While it may not be possible for China to organize its own version of such a bloc given the deep-rooted regional fears and apprehensions about Chinese objectives, in the coming years it will probably be the primary foreign economic presence in Central Asia, able to cash in on the political advantages that ac…
The new great game in Central Asia post 2014: The US “New Silk Road” strategy and Sino-Russian rivalry
With the planned US and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 looming ever closer, and Central Asia’s own future increasingly in doubt, major powers are all competing to enhance their influence in Central Asia. 2014 may mark a regional tipping point, but none can accurately predict how the regional balance might shift after the NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan. During 2009–2010, the signs of growing Russian dependence on China in terms of econ…
Why Is Russian Energy Policy Failing in Asia
Russia has tied the success of its efforts to reclaim great power status in Asia to its success in selling China, Japan, and South Korea energy. Consequently energy policy has been tied to defense and security and, for example, defense of energy projects has become a major mission for the navy. But Russia is encountering difficulties. In the Arctic, its new frontier for exploration of energy, much of which will go to East Asia, it faces Chinese p…
