This project comparatively analyses the Asia-Pacific regional conflicts stemming from the post-World War II disposition of Japan, a settlement legitimatized in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty. These include the territorial disputes over Dokdo/Takeshima, the "Northern Territories"/Southern Kuriles, Senkaku/Diaoyu-tai, and the Spratly and Paracel Islands; the Cross-Taiwan Strait Problem and the divided Korean Peninsula; and the status, particularly in relation to the US bases, of Okinawa. Part I of the project examined the origin of these issues, that is, how they became "unresolved problems" in early post-war arrangements with Japan (Hara, 2005, 2007). Paying attention to their common linkages, this Part II study will consider how these issues have developed and yet remained contentious long after the 1951 San Francisco arrangements. It aims to deepen our understanding of, and provide a more comprehensive account to explain, these complex regional issues and their post-San Francisco developments.
