“…Shigeo (Shigeo, 1994) and Lee (Lee, 2007) both explained that the quarrel between Japan and China is taking time to reconcile as both countries seek a way to solve the problems through any means necessary. Both authors tried to find solutions by explaining the disputes and examining the island's legal owner through the history of both countries and the other countries around them.…”

“…Having an alliance with the United States means that Japan has a significant power partner that can develop its military power and realize its goals, that is, the revision on Japan Constitution, especially Article 9. (Lee, 2007) Japan and China have been fighting over the Senkaku Islands or the Diaoyu Islands since the 1970s. This has led to a security relationship between the two countries.…”

The purpose of this study is to clarify and provide new information regarding the Japanese approach to handling territorial issues involving the Senkaku Islands. By applying the Negotiation and Mediation theory by Dean G. Pruitt and Peter J. Carnevale to evaluate and further explain the types of negotiations between Japan and China to resolve the territorial issues of the Senkaku Islands, it will explain the process of Japan's strategy for doing so. The study discovered that both countries went through several dynamics in their negotiating process using the Negotiation and Mediation theory. To identify the best way to develop a solution, Japan and China used two strategies: the first was the contesting strategy, which took place at the start of the negotiating process, and the second was the yielding or concession strategy. Finally, carry out the problem-solving plan whereby both parties agreed to host a Joint Development to put an end to the territorial disputes over the Senkaku Islands.

The security dilemma in Sino-Japanese relations

The Security Dilemma in Sino-Japanese Relations by LEE Yu Pan Master of PhilosophyEven though economic relations between China and Japan have improved in recent decades, their security relations raise the prospect of clashes due to the perceived incompatibility of their interests, as manifested for example in territorial claims and rivalry for energy resources. This thesis analyzes the two states' security relations using the "security-dilemma" and "constructivist theories" of international relations.The security dilemma is a condition in which states' attempts to increase their own security, out of the mutual fear and suspicion, results a decrease in security for all. The constructivist theories suggest that the identities of actors, social norms, states' interests and government policies are inter-linked in both domestic and international politics; each component thus shapes and then reshapes others.International relations should not be understood by merely analyzing material capacities.In order to understand the security relations between China and Japan, it is imperative to investigate the threat perceptions of various actors within both states, including the general public, the political leadership, the military, the academics and other sub-state actors.By employing the mentioned theories, it is found that the general public in both states are the key sources to consider the other as a security threat. Fear or resentment among states, which might initially be constructed by the behaviors or policies of other actors, would in turn further shape or limit other actors' perceptions and interests. The public also put constraints on their governments' freedom to maneuver diplomatically and to adopt policy choices, it thus affects the security relations between states. The thesis concludes that deepening interactions between people in both state and carefully conducted diplomatic behaviors, such as choice of wording in reconciliation actions and joint action by states' leaders at symbolic occasions or locations etc, can be the key of preventing the security dilemma from escalating. As a result, in the case of Sino-Japanese relations, the security relations cannot be improved by deploying military means.
