“…Northeast Asian development remains, however, mostly promise and, even where actual progress is made, it tends to stir no shortage of controversy. Traction gained in natural resource extraction, for example, catalyzes significant economic, social, and environmental impacts at the local household, intra-state-regional, and national levels (Tasch and Auton 2008;Billé 2012;Woon and Dodds 2021;Billé and Humphrey 2021). The prospect of ongoing development has the potential to both improve and adversely affect lives and local communities.…”

Northeast Asia in regional perspective

Northeast Asia is a regional imaginary of limited capture among both academics and the general public. As a result, ongoing tensions relating to island claims, sea rights, borderlands, population mobilities, and resource access are too rarely considered from a Northeast Asian regional perspective. The region's parameters are also highly debated, with some conceptualizations restricted to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, while more expansive considerations include Russia, South Korea, North Korea, China, Japan, and Mongolia. We suggest that in addition to these countries, even maritime border zones in the Asia-Pacific and Arctic might be included as part of Northeast Asia's extent. In an effort to advance scholarly research on Northeast Asia, this special issue brings together articles that critically interrogate the region's political, economic, cultural, and environmental dynamics and conditions. Articles approach the region as a whole or employ specific case studies pertinent to relations within and/or between its composite states, subregions, and stakeholders. This introduction brings into relief the region's unique history as an inter-imperial frontier and its role as an understudied European, Asian, and North American borderland. These broad themes require consideration of Northeast Asia as a site of mass migrations, increasing environmental fragility, tentative geo-economic integration, and enduring geopolitical contestation. The editors of this special issue aim for this collection of articles to advance Northeast Asia as both a subject and frame for varied modes of geographic inquiry.

Russia's current policy toward Ukraine is an example of regionalization and re‐territorialization based on purely (geo)political reasons. The Kremlin uses different ‘markers’ and tools to reshape Ukrainian regional identity. The main purpose of this article is to reveal the role of the media in creating and sharing the Kremlin's narratives as a tool for the legitimization of its war on Ukraine and the manipulation of citizens' minds in both countries. This paper is based on the regional studies and discourse analysis methodology that enables a development from the meta‐level to the level of discursive practices in which Russian officials' rhetoric is changing the regional identity of neighboring countries. This paper thus starts by arguing whether there is a place for critical thinking in Russian mass media. It then identifies and describes key narratives from the Kremlin as represented in Russian media on the ‘special operation’ in Ukraine in 2022. The conclusions are grounded on a discursive analysis of articles from major quality nationwide daily Russian newspapers and online news portals (Moscow Times, Kommersant, Izvestiya, and Rossiyskaya Gazeta). The article concludes that Russian officials' rhetoric as widely spread by Russian media should be perceived as a tool used consciously by the Kremlin to reformat both Russian and Ukrainian regional identity. A shift from ‘Ukraine loses the war’ to ‘Russia is at war with the West’ to save Ukrainians and to protect Russia, its identity, and even its civilization, and the introduction of a special glossary can be used for a re‐territorialization that enables the existing geopolitical space to be changed.
