This book consists of seven papers produced through a research project including: a study on the positions of China and Japan projected through their diplomatic struggle over the sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands; a study on the territorial policies of Japan and Russia in a tiring duel over the recession of four of the Kuril Islands; a study on the trends of ongoing issues between China and its neighboring countries over territorial land and water in the South China Sea; and a study on the U.S. position on territorial issues in East Asia and the cases in which territorial disputes have been resolved. For these studies, seven committed researchers convened several times to present, discuss, and continually adjust the direction of their research project. Research methods also involved attending international conferences on territorial issues or conducting interviews with leading experts on territorial issues. Hopefully, findings from these studies can inspire those in charge of policies to protect Korea’s sovereignty over Dokdo, as well as researchers in devising countermeasures toward Japan’s recently intensifying provocations targeting Dokdo.
