The Russo-Japanese War Origins and Implications Benjamin Mainardi The 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War was the first major conflict of the twentieth century and a turning point in the balance of power in East Asia. In the short term, Russia’s defeat helped precipitate the 1905 Russian Revolution and the 1917 October Revolution. More broadly, the aftermath of the war informed Japan’s imperial ambitions in Manchuria—the early stages of World War II in Asia during the 1930s—and continuing Russo-Japanese enmity over Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Island chain. Studying this historical conflict in terms of international relations provides valuable insights into the nature of the conflict and how the past continues to shape modern geopolitics. As a case study, the war offers important lessons in the difficulties of sustained power projection and the exigencies involved in adaptable war planning. Equally important, Russia and Japan’s intractable imperial ambitions coupled with their failures to credibly communicate resolve serve as a cautionary tale on the consequences of inept diplomacy.

Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

  • Societies at a Crossroads
    Chapter 31: Societies at a Crossroads Units 5 and 6 1750-1900: Industrialization and its consequences in the East. Ch 31: Societies at a Crossroads. Big Picture Overview: This chapter focuses on four Asian empires (the Ottomans, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Japanese) and the decisions they had to make regarding the benefits and/or liabilities of industrializing their economies based on a western model (like Western Europe and America). Each empire faced two important aspects of this decision making. First, if these empires were compelled to industrialize in order to catch up to the west, eastern imperial governments needed to sponsor that industrialization themselves and not wait for individual entrepreneurs to do it (like in the west). They also did not necessarily believe that industrialization was the cutting edge for the future, after all these regions had basically dominated the world economy for thousands of years. The biggest reason to consider industrialization was that European and US manufacturers were producing factory made gunpowder weapons. Self-preservation demanded that the Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese governments gain military equity with the west. Most of the ruling classes, however wanted to be able to choose which parts of their economies would industrialize, such as industrialize the military but leave the rest of the manufacturing of cheap, disposable factory made goods to the west (with their accompanying pollution and urban problems as well). Rebellions arose over these economic decisions and more: things like public education, taxation, land redistribution, suffrage (the right to vote), and representation in legislatures and enacting new constitutions.

  • Assessing Russia's Role in Cross-Taiwan Strait Relations
    “Russia and Cross Strait Relations” SHAOHUA HU Associate Professor and Chair Department of Government and Politics Wagner College [email protected] Scholars have scrutinized the role of the United States and even Japan in cross-Strait relations, but have downplayed, if not ignored, the role of Russia.1 Given the extensive studies that have been carried out on Russia’s China policy, the lack of attention given to this subject is woeful and even puzzling. Such deficiency may be attributed to Moscow’s seemingly unequivocal pro-Beijing policy, Russia’s loss of superpower status, and the lack of close ties between Russia and Taiwan. Whatever the reasons, the deficiency should be addressed, because Russia is both a global and a regional power, and because the policy differences between Russia and all other major powers demand explanation. This article attempts a systematic study of the Russian factor in cross-Strait relations. What form has Russia’s Taiwan policy taken in different eras? How important is Russia to Beijing’s Taiwan policy? What options might Russia have in the event of a cross-Strait conflict? These are the questions I seek to answer. The Evolution of Russia’s Taiwan Policy A review of Russian foreign policy helps us understand the present and anticipate the future. Russian leaders have not created their foreign policy out of the blue, but rather formulated it under given geographical and historical circumstances. No matter how changeable and complex history is, we may still be able to identify some key historical patterns. That scholars find much continuity in Russian foreign policy makes it even more important to familiarize ourselves with the past.

  • Insurance As a Risk Management Instrument for Energy Infrastructure Security and Resilience
    INSURANCE AS A RISK MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENT FOR ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AND RESILIENCE U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration Insurance as a Risk Management Instrument for Energy Infrastructure Security and Resilience This page intentionally left blank. U.S. Department of Energy March 2013 Page ii of viii Insurance as a Risk Management Instrument for Energy Infrastructure Security and Resilience Preface This study examines key risks that the Nation‘s critical energy infrastructure is confronting and the ways in which the insurance industry can help manage these risks, including how it identifies, assesses, and manages them and their potential impacts. Today, weather-related incidents account for the majority of economic losses in the insurance industry as well as in the critical infrastructure sectors. In addition to the traditionally-recognized natural hazards, critical energy infrastructure faces significant emerging threats, including cybersecurity and space weather risks. While the United States has a large, mature insurance market, developing insurance mechanisms for protecting critical infrastructure from these emerging risks remains a significant challenge. The lack of historical data on the frequency and severity of these events, the changing nature of technologies impacted by them, as well as the inherent uncertainties posed by these risks make it difficult to accurately assess these emerging risks and develop proper insurance products. Insurance instruments can be a useful risk mitigation tool for critical infrastructure by encouraging resilience-enhancing investments and facilitating recovery after a disaster. However, due to the increased interdependencies across various critical infrastructure systems and sectors as well as the growing dependence of today‘s society on the critical infrastructure functions and advanced technologies, the question of insurability of critical infrastructure against emerging risks faces new challenges.
