Northeast Asia

Below is some work that reflects on the regional characteristics, and specifically how borders in Northeast Asia have operated since the 1990s. It draws on research done as part of the NIHU Area Studies Project for Northeast Asia (NoA-SRC), based out of the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center, and my collaboration on the JSPS “Society and representations of 'territory' in Northeast Asia” grant, lead by Professor Iwashita Akihiro.

The NIHU Area Studies project concluded with an edited collection on Geo-politics in Northeast Asia, which is entirely Open Access.
