Abstract

Ekonomska suradnja i međuzavisnost i potencijalno eskalirajuće međunarodne napetosti su dvije strane jednog novčića s nazivom „Političko-geografski odnosi u Istočnoj Aziji“. Ovim diplomskim radom se želi prikazati kako su interpretacija teritorija, prirodnih resursa, distribucije moći uzajamno utjecali na karakter političko-geografskih odnosa među istočnoazijskim zemljama. Najprije se povijesnim pregledom političkih odnosa od 1850. godine do danas žele naglasiti povijesni procesi koji su utjecali na današnje odnose te kako se razvijala ravnoteža moći u istočnoazijskoj kvadrilaterali. Zatim se međunarodni odnosi u Istočnoj Aziji analizira kroz okvir pomorskih teritorijalnih sporova, nasuprot kontinentalnih kao što su Korejski poluotok, planina Baekdu, prolaz Shipki, Jiandao, Arunachal Pradesh i drugi, kojima će se dati poseban naglasak u ovome radu. Naposljetku su izneseni nedostaci u međunarodnom pomorskom pravu koje nema konkretne odgovore za pomorske sporove u Istočnoj Aziji što kao jedino riješenje u trenutnim okolnostima ostavlja mogućnost zajedničkog razvoja i istraživanja u spornim područjima uz privremeno odlaganje pitanja suvereniteta.

Abstract (english)

Economic cooperation and interdependence and potentially escalating tensions are two sides of the same coin called „Geopolitical Relations in East Asia“. This thesis aims to show how the interpretation of territory, natural resources and power distribution interplay with one another in characterizing geopolitical relations among the East Asian countries. By first reviewing the political relations from 1850 to present day the emphasis is put on the historical processes that have shaped today's relations and how they developed the balance of power among the East Asian Quadrilateral. The international relations in East Asia are then analyzed through the lenses of maritime territorial disputes, opposite to the continental disputes like the Korean Peninsula, Baekdu Mountain, Shipki Pass, Jiandao, Arunachal Pradesh etc., which will be given special attention in this paper. In the end, the flaws in international maritime law, which offers no specific measures in resolving maritime disputes, will be presented, which currently leaves joint exploration and development of resources in disputed areas with the shelving of the sovereignty question as the only solution to the problem.
