This paper will examine the repercussions of the Sino-Japanese territorial dispute on bilateral trade. Using interviews with businesses, scholars, and government officials in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, and data gathered from policy papers and businesses, this paper argues that the traditional seikei bunri (separation of politics and economics) relationship that existed between Japan and China in the post-World War II period has given way to a more confrontational relationship in which economic pressure can be and has been applied as a means to press Japan on bilateral issues. It argues that understanding the way in which frictions arising from territorial disputes have affected the Sino-Japanese trading relationship may hold implications for the handling of similar disputes across North- and South-East Asia.

Territorial disputes remain a significant source of tension in international relations, representing an important share of interstate cases brought before international tribunals and courts. Analysing the international law applicable to the assessment of territorial claims and the settlement of related disputes, this Research Handbook provides a systematic exposition and in-depth discussions of the relevant key concepts, principles, rules, and techniques. Combining extensive knowledge from across international law, Marcelo Kohen and Mamadou Hébié expertly unite a multinational group of contributors to provide a go-to resource for the settlement of territorial disputes. The different chapters discuss the process through which states establish sovereignty over a territory, and review the different titles of territorial sovereignty, the relation between titles and effectivités, as well as the relevance of state conduct. Select chapters focus on the impact of foundational principles of international law such as the principle of territorial integrity, the right of self-determination and the prohibition of the threat or use of force on territorial disputes. Finally, technical rules that are crucial for the assessment of territorial claims, especially the techniques of intertemporal law and critical date, as well as evidentiary rules, are presented. An essential resource for practitioners, international law academics and public officials including judges and arbitrators, this Research Handbook is a highly original collection of scholarship and research on territorial disputes and their settlement

The main purpose of the article is to deal with the structurally restrictive factors of the conflict regarding the dominion over islands in Northeast Asia in the post-Cold War era. The maritime boundary delimitation problem, the unique-territory theory vs. the effective-governance dispute, and the nationalistic modern vs. postmodern conflict will be analyzed. The resolution of the territorial disputes of this region is becoming more difficult as the national benefits and nationalism of the concerned nations affect the delimitation of territories and the setting of boundaries. The territorial disputes of this region are generally expressed as potential factors of conflict. Disputes over island regions instead of the mainland make it difficult to promote territorial sovereignty. The countries directly concerned in the territorial disputes display postmodern nationalistic tendencies that are becoming realistic political and diplomatic problems. These are focused on the national benefit of the homeland as well as the economic, military, and political power and public opinion of the right-wing conservatives. In this context, the territorial disputes in Northeast Asia are becoming more heated. Politicians use the disputed areas and the historically established nationalistic emotions for political purposes. The leaders of each country are displaying strong nationalistic tendencies related to the territorial disputes, thereby increasing the tendency to use this as a type of plan to gather political support.
