The Dokdo/Takeshima Dispute
South Korea, Japan and the Search for a Peaceful Solution
Series: - Maritime Cooperation in East Asia, Volume: 10
In The Dokdo/Takeshima Dispute, Paul Huth, Sunwoong Kim, and Terence Roehrig have assembled some of the top scholars from Japan, South Korea, and the United States to provide a fresh and comprehensive look at one of the most long-running island disputes in East Asia. The book examines the dispute from multiple perspectives with chapters that provide a detailed and balanced assessment addressing issues in international law, history, foreign policy, domestic politics, the media, education, and the impact on relations with the United States. The book also provides analyses of why this dispute has persisted for decades and explores possible solutions that are relevant for other maritime disputes in the Asia-Pacific.
