  • Is China Colonizing North Korea?
    Is China Colonizing North Korea? Unraveling Geopolitical Economy in the Production of Territory Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Seung-Ook Lee, M.A. Department of Geography The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Joel Wainwright, Advisor Mathew Coleman Bruce Cumings Ed Malecki Becky Mansfield Copyright by Seung-Ook Lee 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the complex articulations between geopolitical and geoeconomic imperatives across national borders in the production of state territory. More specifically, it investigates the development of territorial linkages between North Korea and northeast China, scrutinizing the political-economic conditions that underlie these bilateral relations. My central thesis is that the recent changes in political-economic relations between these two countries have resulted not from a unilateral economic movement on the part of China – a ‘colonization’ – but instead through the mutual articulation of two processes: on one hand, North Korea’s deployment of territorial strategies to leverage its regional capacities and, on the other, China’s geo-economic approach to enhancing security in the border region. I contend that the discourse of China’s colonization of North Korea that has been constructed and disseminated by South Koreans reveals that both liberals and conservatives in South Korea desire North Korea as a sort of colony, albeit in different forms. This argument unfolds in three parts. First, in Chapter 2, I begin with a theoretical elaboration of geopolitical economy in the production of territory. Here I examine two different dialectical interactions which are deeply entangled with the production of state territory—the dialectics between geopolitical and geoeconomic logics of power and between territorial practices and representations of territory.

  • Ten Years of Tumen River Area Development
    Introduction When talking about multilateral cooperation in Northeast Asia, most Japanese experts in the subject will immediately mention the development of the Tumen River area. In addition, interaction focusing on the Japan Sea/East Sea rim, which was developed in the 1990s principally by local authorities on the Japan Sea coast and private groups as a regional revitalization policy, has added momentum to this development program. ERINA, which was established with the aim of contributing to the formation and development of the Northeast Asia economic region, has taken multilateral cooperation as its central focus and has shown a strong interest in Tumen River area development as a symbolic case study. Globally, moves toward economic integration are gathering pace, a trend that will not fail to have an impact on Northeast Asia. Northeast Asia is sandwiched between the ASEAN, EU and NAFTA regions, and is therefore affected by geopolitical developments in those regions; moreover, the Tumen River area is located at the point where the component countries of Northeast Asia intersect. China's presentation entitled The Tumen River: A Development Concept for the Golden Triangle given at the 1st International Conference on Northeast Asian Economic Development, which was held in the Chinese city of Changchun, Jilin Province in 1990, can be described as an historic event. This second ERINA booklet, which provides an overview of the progress and results, and an evaluation of the last ten years of development in the Tumen River area, as well as relevant issues, is intended to contribute to the reference resources available to those with an interest in this subject.

  • Le Développement Des Relations Frontalières Entre La Chine Et La Russie
    L e s É t u d e s d u C E R I N° 96 - juillet 2003 Le développement des relations frontalières entre la Chine et la Russie Sébastien Colin Centre d'études et de recherches internationales Sciences Po Sébastien Colin Le développement des relations frontalières entre la Chine et la Russie Résumé Depuis la reprise de leurs pourparlers au milieu des années quatre-vingt, les relations entre la Chine et la Russie – qui était encore l'Union soviétique lors de cette relance – sont particulièrement dynamiques. Sur le plan international, les deux pays possèdent en effet plusieurs points de vue qui convergent. Ces préoccupations communes ont abouti à la signature d'un partenariat stratégique en 1997, puis à celle d'un nouveau traité d'amitié en 2001. La complémentarité qui règne entre les deux pays dans les secteurs de l'énergie et de l'armement rend également la coopération dynamique. Cependant, cette alliance n'est pas sans limites. Principalement visés par elle, les Etats-Unis ont largement les moyens de la court-circuiter, comme ils l’ont fait juste après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Dans le domaine de la coopération, l'intensité et la structure du commerce entre les deux pays sont également insuffisantes. L'évolution du commerce durant la décennie quatre-vingt-dix a été très irrégulière et marquée par une chute entre 1994 et 1996, dont les causes principales se situent à l'échelle locale, le long de la frontière sino-russe. Après avoir été dynamique entre 1988 et 1993, l'ouverture de la frontière a provoqué l'apparition de nouveaux problèmes comme l'immigration illégale chinoise dans les régions frontalières peu peuplées de la Russie.

  • Regional Actors, International Institutions, and Multilateral Economic Cooperation in Northeast Asia
    Giving the Unrecognized Their Due: Regional Actors, International Institutions, and Multilateral Economic Cooperation in Northeast Asia Jean-Marc F. Blanchard There has been a surge of interest in the way domestic and interna- tional variables act together to produce outcomes (Evans, Jacobson, and Putnam 1993; Putnam 1988). The Tumen River Area Develop- ment Programme (TRADP), a multinational economic development initiative for the Tumen River area at the tri-juncture of the Chinese, Russian, and North Korean borders, represents an important but poorly known case resulting from the interaction of domestic and in- ternational factors. It presents a puzzle for extant approaches in two ways. First, the TRADP has made meaningful progress since it ap- peared on the international agenda in 1990.1 This progress has oc- curred despite the fact that decision makers in the participating state capitals have given it only modest levels of political, Anancial, and legal support.2 Second, Moscow backs the project because it wants to exploit the resources of the Russian Far East, improve the area’s econ- omy and infrastructure, and tap into Asia-PaciAc money, markets, and economic institutions. In addition, it wants to facilitate control over the restive Russian Far East and gain political clout in the Asia-PaciAc (Korkunov 1994, 38–42; Christoffersen 1994–95, 516–17; Ivanov 1995; Institute of Far Eastern Studies 1995, 41–42;Toloraya 1996; Portyakov 1998, 58–59). Yet it is Russia that has served as one of the primary ob- stacles to the continued advancement of the TRADP. To get out of this analytical morass, we must go beyond the state centrism and unitary actor assumption of existing approaches.3 Spe- ciAcally, we must consider the role of nonstate actors like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and subnational actors like the Province of Jilin in China and Primorskii Kray (territory) in Russia.

II (Mar – Apr 2020), PP 38-41 www.iosrjournals.org Study on the Location Development of the Tumen River Estuary Xiaoqiong Wang 1 1(Department of Geography, YanbianUniversity, Jilin,133002,China) Abstract:Fangchuan Village, Jingxin Town, about 70 kilometers south of Hunchun City, Jilin Province, is only 15 kilometers away from the Tumen River estuary and faces the Sea of Japan across the sea. This is a special delta of Russia, North Korea and China, which has important strategic significance. As the only channel for China to enter and leave the Sea of Japan, the restoration of its right to sea has important strategic significance for the economic and political development of the surrounding areas. This article analyzes the location advantages of the Tumen River estuary in detail from both the subjective and objective perspectives, studies its driving effect on neighboring countries, and combines the relevant conditions of neighboring countries to further clarify its importance and necessity for regional development.

  • The Tumen River Area Development Programme
    ECONOMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR NORTHEAST ASIA ERINA ERINA Discussion Paper No.0404e The Tumen River Area Development Programme: Its History and Current Status as of 2004 Hisako Tsuji April, 2004 Niigata, Japan ECONOMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR NORTHEAST ASIA The Tumen River Area Development Programme: Its History and Current Status as of 2004 Hisako Tsuji Senior Economist, ERINA 1. Background The Tumen River Area Development Programme (TRADP) is a project aimed at using multilateral cooperation to develop the area adjacent to the lower reaches of the Tumen River, which covers the three countries of China, the DPRK and Russia. It is not clear who first advocated the idea of developing the Tumen River area, but in around 1990, when the Cold War mood began to show signs of thawing, academics in the countries of Northeast Asia began making moves towards regional cooperation. In July 1990, at the Conference on Northeast Asian Economic and Technical Cooperation, a representative of the government of China’s Jilin Province announced a development vision aimed at turning the Tumen River delta region into a hub for international transport, trade and industry. One of the factors providing the backdrop to this was the fact that Jilin Province was searching for an outlet onto the Japan Sea that would provide an alternative to the Dalian route, which had been used until then. The upper and middle reaches of the Tumen River, the source of which is on Mount Changbai-shan, run along the border between China and the DPRK, but from a point 15km upstream from its mouth, the river becomes the border between the DPRK and Russia.
