Donbas in 2014: explaining civil conflict perhaps, but not civil war / Wilson, Andrew   Journal Article
Wilson, Andrew Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This essay argues that historical and identity factors, economic fears and alienation from the new government in Kyiv were only part of the reason for the rise of the separatist movement in the Donbas, Ukraine, in the spring of 2014. They set a baseline, but one not high enough to account for the creation of two mini-‘Republics’ and a prolonged war, without considering the effect of Russian sponsorship and the role of local elites, mainly from the literal and metaphorical ‘Family’ of former President Viktor Yanukovych.

Rethinking the role of identity factors: the history problem and the Japan–South Korea security relationship in the post-cold war period / Kim, Ji Young   Article
Kim, Ji Young Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract What explains the Japan–South Korea security relationship in the post-Cold War period? This article highlights the impact of the conflict and convergence of identity factors vis-à-vis external factors (such as the North Korean military threat, the regional presence of US forces, and growing Chinese power) to offer a more comprehensive explanation of the ebb and flow of security cooperation between Japan and South Korea. This article argues that in some cases, the identity factors affect security cooperation more than external strategic factors. Based on three in-depth case studies, the article provides an empirical examination of how identity factors have affected the overall pattern of Japan–South Korea security relations since the 1990s. The analysis will have important implications for our understanding of the role of identity factors between Japan and South Korea, as well as envisioning the possibilities of regional security cooperation in the future.
