This book arises out of thoughts and questions which first occurred to me when I was producing my doctoral dissertation at the University of Leeds, which became the monograph Environment, Politics and Ideology in North Korea: Landscape as a Political Project (Lexington Press) in 2014. That dissertation and subsequent monograph spent at least a third of its pages focused on the coasts and coastal reclamation projects of North Korea; the waters and sea beyond were always in view and in question. This spurred the author of this book to attempt a histo- riography of these matters for an edited volume Change and Continuity in North Korea Politics produced in 2016 by colleagues at the online journal Sino-NK. As always, I thank Dr. Adam Cathcart, Christopher Green and Steven Denney for their work between 2012 and 2015 wrangling and editing my thoughts and text. I continue to thank Adam Cathcart as always for support, inspiration and his insatiable appetite for sources and documents, which push even a Geographer to head for the archives rather than the field. I thank Prof. Heonik Kwon, Fellow of Trinity College, University of Cambridge, who as my first postdoctoral employer gave me the scope and time to begin thinking through the material for this book, even though that might not have been obvious at the time. Professor Martin Wilcox of the University of Hull supported the concerted first research efforts for this book, in Hull’s Centre for Maritime History at Blaydes House in 2015/2016, and I grateful for his allowing me access to their extraordinary collection. Thanks are due to Prof. David Bell of the University of Leeds School of Geography, who gener- ously hosted me as a Visiting Research Fellow there in 2014–2016. Much of the archival research and fieldwork for this book was undertaken while I was an employee of Australian National University, in Canberra. Life was more compli- cated there than expected but I do want to thank Professor Emeritus Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Dr. Tom Cliff, Dr. Yon Jae Paik, Prof. Ruth Barraclough and Prof. Hyaeweol Choi of both the Coombs Building and Korea Institute for the opportunity and many conversations and much support during that time. I particularly v vi Acknowledgements want to thank Prof. Gavan McCormack whose office was opposite mine and who was a powerfully productive and energetic presence there. I am extremely grateful to the staff of the Australian National Library’s Petherick Reading Room (particularly Andrew Seargent) and the East Asian Collection and Anne Marie Slattery of the CSIRO’s Black Mountain Library who really did smooth my access to some of the documentary material which has been vital to this book. As difficult as I found living in Australia, I would like to thank its first nations and people, particularly the Ngunnawal and its landscape (along with the fascinating trees and flowers, Cockatoos, Fruit Bats, Superb Fairy Wrens, Kangaroos, Rosellas and Wombats, of course), and its current nation and people. Living there really gave my thinking and perception an outlook on the Pacific I have never had before, living in the United Kingdom. I want to thank my editors at Springer Nature, Ilaria Walker who com- missioned this book and Nick Melchior who has been patient and helped me bring the work home. I also want to thank all the people behind the scenes at Springer Nature, who make things happen and make processes work. I want to thank deeply the staff of Dalian Ocean University, my fixers, drivers and translator and my friend Janpeng Jiang, who a long way from Geography East in Leeds was vital to the fieldwork undertaken on the Liaodong Peninsula (special mention must also go to Stan, the Canadian co-owner of Suzan’s Pizza in Jinshitan who gratefully hosted our academic party in his unbelievably fantastic little restaurant). I want to thank Olga Fedorenko of Seoul National University for helping me find the extraordinary Professor Emeritus Han Sangbok, the author of Korean Fishermen who opened the world of Gageodo and its fishing community to me and was an extremely generous host during our visit in 2017. I should thank the head of the village there and his wife, whose amazing, if at times unfathomable cooking of fish dishes I had never heard of, I will never forget. Thanks go to Nataliya Chesnokova and Varvara Pakhomova for support in Moscow, particularly Varvara for your patience, energy and efficiency in navigating the bureaucracies of the Russian State Archive of the Economy. I would like to think Nick Bonner and Simon Cockerell at Koryo Tours for all their work in and around North Korea. I want to deeply thank Carmel Finley and Ryan Tucker Jones for their support and guidance through the histories of fishing in the Pacificas well as Micah Muscolino. I would also like to thank Prof. Phillip Brown of Ohio State University and the rest of the East Asian Environmental History group including the venerable Professor Donald Worster who very much put me in my place at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou. I want to thank Benjamin Habib of LaTrobe University, Andrew Jackson of Monash University, Valérie Gelézeau of EHESS, Natalia Kim of the Russian State University for the Humanities (Higher School of Economics), the East Asian Environmental History Association, Asian Borderland Network (particularly Tina Harris of the University of Amsterdam for her support and inspirational work on the lumpy geographies of risk across the globe), Asian Studies Conference Japan, the Rachel Carson Center for Environmental History and the Kyujanggak International Series at ICKS, Seoul National University for giving me chances to work these ideas in public. Slightly disconnected from the research behind this book I would like to thank the ever-helpful Prof. Balazs Szalontai of Korea University and Mark Caprio of Rikkyo University who have Acknowledgements vii always been supportive and interested in my work. Thanks to anyone I have forgotten here. Finally, thank you with all my heart to my partner Hannah, who just as was the case with my first book and Ph.D. has put up with the blood, sweat and tears involved in all of this, and joined in the pains and struggles of our Antipodean adventure. Farewell to Ollie (2011–2019), perhaps the most gentle soul I have had the privilege to know. I should mention at the end our dear old cat, Mitsy whose wet, cold nose has uncomfortably pressed on my left hand as I typed in most of these words, and who has always been a huge fan of all the vibrant matters of the sea. The research behind this book has been made possible through the generous support of the Academy of Korean Studies through the Beyond the Korean War project (University of Cambridge) (AKS-2010-DZZ-3104) and the Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship program (FL120100155). This production and Open Access publication of this book has been further supported by the Academy of Korean Studies, Book Publication Support Program (AKS-2018-P-10). Prefatory Notes Romanisation is one of the greatest challenges when it comes to coherent writing and scholarship focused on the Korean peninsula. There are currently at least four separate romanization strategies for converting Korean Hangeul (한글)or Chosŏn'gŭl(조선) script into an English language context.

    THE TUMEN TRIANGLE DOCUMENTATION PROJECT SOURCING THE CHINESE-NORTH KOREAN BORDER Edited by CHRISTOPHER GREEN Issue Two February 2014 ABOUT SINO-NK Founded in December 2011 by a group of young academics committed to the study of Northeast Asia, Sino-NK focuses on the borderland world that lies somewhere between Pyongyang and Beijing. Using multiple languages and an array of disciplinary methodologies, Sino-NK provides a steady stream of China-DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea/North Korea) documentation and analysis covering the culture, history, economies and foreign relations of these complex states. Work published on Sino-NK has been cited in such standard journalistic outlets as The Economist, International Herald Tribune, and Wall Street Journal, and our analysts have been featured in a range of other publications. Ultimately, Sino-NK seeks to function as a bridge between the ubiquitous North Korea media discourse and a more specialized world, that of the academic and think tank debates that swirl around the DPRK and its immense neighbor.

Changbai Mountain straddles the China-North Korea border and has been held in almost sacred es- teem by both nations for centuries. It is this adula- tion that has protected the landscape from develop- ment over the years, until it became officially pro- tected within a 200,000 hectare reserve in 1960. How- ever, now, with a growing middle class and increas- ingly easy tourist travel to the region (the Changbais- han airport opened in 2008), human pressures on the area’s natural resources are mounting. Illegal hunting, plant and mushroom gathering, and the simple recre- ational activities of law-abiding visitors are all taking their toll on the land. Lake Tianchi, the awe-inspiring crater lake atop Mount Baekdu, can be viewed from two vantage points. We visited the North Approach on a Saturday, along with 10,000 other visitors.

  • North Korean Identity As a Challenge to East Asia's Regional Order
    Korean Soc Sci J (2017) 44:51–71 North Korean Identity as a Challenge to East Asia’s Regional Order Leif-Eric Easley Received: 9 May 2017 / Accepted: 31 May 2017 / Published online: 9 June 2017 Ⓒ Korean Social Science Research Council 2017 Introduction North Korea presents serious complications for East Asia’s regional order, and yet its identity is subject to frequent oversimplification. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) is often in the headlines for its nuclear weapons and missile programs and for its violations of human rights.1 Media reports typically depict North Korea as an otherworldly hermit kingdom ruled by a highly caricatured Kim regime. This article seeks to deepen the conversation about North Korea’s political characteristics and East Asia’s regional architecture by addressing three related questions. First, how has North Korea challenged the regional order, at times driving some actors apart and others together? How are these trends explained by and reflected in North Korean national identity, as articulated by the Kim regime and as perceived in the region? Finally, what academic and policy-relevant implications are offered by the interaction of North Korean identity and regional order? To start, measuring national identity is a difficult proposition (Abdelal, et al., 2009). Applying the concepts of national identity and nationalism to North Korea are complicated by analytical problems in separating the nation, and especially the state, from the Kim regime. This study chooses to focus on “identity” rather than “nationalism” because “North Korean nationalism” implies a certain ideology that contrasts to the nationalisms of the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea), Japan or China.

  • The Allocation of Fishing Rights in Uk Fisheries A
    THE ALLOCATION OF FISHING RIGHTS IN UK FISHERIES A. Hatcher* and A. Read** * Centre for the Economics and Management of Aquatic Resources (CEMARE) University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO4 8JF, United Kingdom <[email protected]> ** Danbrit Ship Management Ltd 8 Abbey Walk, Grimsby DN31 1NB, United Kingdom 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The UK fishing industry The United Kingdom has a long history of fishing, reflecting its position as an island with a relatively long coastline and its proximity to the productive fishing grounds of the European continental shelf, notably the North Sea, the English Channel and the West of Scotland. The UK fisheries are heterogeneous and this is reflected in a complex fleet structure. The shape of the modern UK fleet is the product of technological and market changes together with political developments, in particular the loss of access to traditional distant water grounds (particularly Iceland and Greenland) in the 1970s and the development of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by the European Community (EC - which the UK joined in 1972). Under the CFP (see below) there have been national quotas for most stocks since the early 1980s, coupled with a succession of fleet reduction programmes (the so-called MAGPs or multi-annual guidance programmes). There are currently just over 8000 fishing vessels in the UK, although nearly three-quarters of these are inshore boats under 10m in length. Table 1 shows the trend in vessel numbers for the period 1994 to 1999 by vessel type (the “sectors” shown correspond to the classification used by the EC for measuring fleet size).
