Neighborly relations: the Tumen development project and China's security strategy / Freeman, Carla P

Freeman, Carla P	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2010.

Summary/Abstract

This article considers why China has continued to support multilateral efforts to develop the Tumen River Delta region despite the failure of these efforts to achieve significant economic results. It argues that China has sustained its critical role in Tumen development because the project has served multiple objectives consistent with China's approach to managing its security along its land borders, and in this case its border with the Korean peninsula-an approach which sees its domestic and international security objectives as not only linked but closely intertwined.

New strategies for an old rivalry? China–Russia relations in Central Asia after the energy boom / Freeman, Carla P

Freeman, Carla P	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

China and Russia both have interests in bordering Central Asia. China's thirst for energy has seen its footprint expand rapidly in the region relative to that of Russia, Central Asia's historical hegemon. With the two powerful neighbors’ history of competition and conflict, the shift in relative influence between them risks a resurgence of bilateral rivalry. Referencing the scholarly literature on strategic rivalry, this article examines how energy relations have helped shaped the trajectory of China-Russian relations in Central Asia, particularly after the shock that came with the collapse of oil and gas prices in 2008–2009.

Uncommon Approach to the Global Commons: Interpreting China's Divergent Positions on Maritime and Outer Space Governance / Freeman, Carla P

Freeman, Carla P	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This study assesses China's approach to the global commons, those areas of the globe over which no state exercises sovereignty and that are accessible to all. Examining Chinese behaviour, official statements and expert positions towards the extant high seas and outer space regimes, this research concludes that China approaches the principle of international access to the two domains situationally, reflecting its assessment of how these regimes affect its national interests. The finding cautions against blanket characterizations of China's strategic orientation towards the global commons.
