Abstract

ABSTRACT Northeast Asia is a regional imaginary of limited capture among both academics and the general public. As a result, ongoing tensions relating to island claims, sea rights, borderlands, population mobilities, and resource access are too rarely considered from a Northeast Asian regional perspective. The region’s parameters are also highly debated, with some conceptualizations restricted to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, while more expansive considerations include Russia, South Korea, North Korea, China, Japan, and Mongolia. We suggest that in addition to these countries, even maritime border zones in the Asia-Pacific and Arctic might be included as part of Northeast Asia’s extent. In an effort to advance scholarly research on Northeast Asia, this special issue brings together articles that critically interrogate the region’s political, economic, cultural, and environmental dynamics and conditions. Articles approach the region as a whole or employ specific case studies pertinent to relations within and/or between its composite states, subregions, and stakeholders. This introduction brings into relief the region’s unique history as an inter-imperial frontier and its role as an understudied European, Asian, and North American borderland. These broad themes require consideration of Northeast Asia as a site of mass migrations, increasing environmental fragility, tentative geo-economic integration, and enduring geopolitical contestation. The editors of this special issue aim for this collection of articles to advance Northeast Asia as both a subject and frame for varied modes of geographic inquiry.
东北亚地区视角
摘要东北亚是一个学术界和公众关注度有限的地区想象。因此,从东北亚地区的角度来看,很少考虑与岛屿主张、海洋权、边境地区、人口流动和资源获取有关的持续紧张局势。该地区的参数也备受争议,一些概念仅限于日本和朝鲜半岛,而更广泛的考虑因素包括俄罗斯、韩国、朝鲜、中国、日本和蒙古。我们建议,除了这些国家之外,甚至亚太和北极的海上边界区也可能被纳入东北亚的范围。为了推进东北亚的学术研究,本期特刊汇集了一些文章,对该地区的政治、经济、文化和环境动态和条件进行了批判性的质疑。文章将整个区域作为一个整体,或采用与复合国家、次区域和利益攸关方内部和/或之间的关系相关的具体案例研究。这一介绍缓解了该地区作为帝国间边界的独特历史,以及其作为欧洲、亚洲和北美边界研究不足的角色。这些广泛的主题需要将东北亚视为大规模移民、日益脆弱的环境、试探性的地缘经济一体化和持久的地缘政治竞争的场所。本期特刊的编辑们旨在将东北亚作为各种地理调查模式的主题和框架。

期刊介绍: Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues focusing on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Papers dealing with other regions should have a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Original and timely articles dealing with any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies will be considered for publication. We welcome, for example, submissions on people-environment interactions, urban and regional development, transport and large infrastructure, migration, natural disasters and their management, environment and energy issues. While the focus of the journal is placed on original research articles, review papers as well as viewpoints and research notes under the category of “Asian Geography in Brief” are also considered. Review papers should critically and constructively analyse the current state of understanding on geographical and planning topics in Asia. The ‘Asian Geography in Brief’ section welcomes submissions of applied geographical and planning research about Asia. The section aims to showcase (1) the diverse geography and planning of Asia; and (2) the diverse geographical and planning research about Asia. The journal will also publish special issues on particular themes or areas. Book reviews can be included from time to time.
