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.
