| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951 and its repercussions on modern international relations. In particular, it focuses on the clause in the Treaty which forced Japan to renounce its claim to Antarctica, together with a number of territories in the Asia-Pacific. Carefully tracing the history of the Treaty, the article shows how its earlier drafts and especially the clause in question were shaped by the political context in which the document was forged. Along the way, it identifies the key players in the Treaty's formulation and the reasons for their respective positions on the renunciative clause. |
