Summary/Abstract |
This essay explores the historical geographic antecedents of migration decisions among Koreans and Germans in Kazakhstan as evidence of the importance of space-time approaches to socio-political phenomena. Both groups came to Central Asia under similar circumstances as 'punished peoples' but reacted very differently to Kazakhstan's independence. Koreans have largely opted to remain in Kazakhstan and re-imagine themselves as hybrid members of the Korean diaspora and the Kazakhstani civic nation. The majority of Germans, by contrast, have opted to migrate to Germany and abandon Kazakhstan. I argue that despite significant similarities in their historical geographic experiences within Tsarist Russia and the USSR, the unique spatio-temporal biographies of each group have configured their respective homeland conceptions differently. Contingency, rather than some a priori pattern of territorialisation, is clearly evident in each group's receptivity to migration possibilities.

Summary/Abstract |
The Taiwan Strait poses a risk of war at any time due to a combination of
international political factors such as China’s national strength, willingness to
unify, Taiwan’s independence, and the U.S.–China leadership competition. In
this situation, this paper analyzed the scenario of China’s invasion of Taiwan, and
considered the comparison of military power on both sides and the direction of
Taiwan’s military power construction. In conclusion, the war in the Taiwan Strait is
likely to trigger geopolitical conflicts between the United States and North Korea on
the Korean Peninsula, and the ROK will have to respond to diplomatic and security
challenges simultaneously. Therefore, we must face up to the fact that tensions and
crises between the two sides in the Taiwan Strait are directly linked to the security
crisis on the Korean Peninsula. It is necessary to closely monitor the conflict
between the two sides and preemptively prepare diplomatic and security response
strategies for each situation.
