The nature and status of trouble spots in North‐east Asia

Recently there have been dramatic developments in the Asia-Pacific, particularly in the North-east Asian subregion. On the one hand, the world has witnessed efforts at rapprochement among countries previously at war with one another; most notably the two Koreas. On the other hand, some 'hot spots' remain. These include Taiwan-China relations and the dispute over the Spratly Islands. These have a profound impact on the strategic and security interests of several important powers in the Asia-Pacific, including the United States (US), China and Japan.
