Produktbeschreibung

This volume is the fruit of an international collaborative study, which considers the Aland islands settlement in northern Europe as a resolution model for the major Asia-Pacific regional conflicts that derived from the post-World War II disposition of Japan, with particular focus on the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, the Northern Territories/Southern Kuriles problem. The contributors provide analysis of the Aland settlement, the Japan-Russia territorial dispute and Aland-inspired solution ideas by experts from all over the world, including government officials, scholars and military specialists. Northern Territories, Asia-Pacific Regional Conflicts and the Aland Experience will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics working in Asian studies, politics, international relations, conflict resolution and security studies.

---

Examining the origin and development of the "Northern Territories"/Southern Kuriles sovereignty dispute, this volume is the first to take inspiration from the multilaterally resolved Åland conflict to investigate the possibility of a solution.
