| description | In recent years, the Sea of Japan or the East Sea as it is called in South
Korea has become the place of territorial dispute. The territorial dispute
between South Korea (Republic of Korea) and Japan refers to the question of
sovereignty over the Takeshima/Dokdo Islands. This is a preliminary legal
question for resolving the issue of demarcation of marine zones between the
countries in dispute. The question of delimitation of marine zones is made
particularly difficult by the fact that the countries in dispute have taken
unilateral legal acts. Although the specific circumstances regarding the
resolution of the territorial dispute differ, both countries see them as an
opportunity to secure their geostrategic and then economic interests.
Therefore, this dispute like other territorial disputes in Southeast Asia
(the South and East China Sea) is the cause of instability, which
increasingly threatens peace and security in this part of the world. Under
certain internal and external political circumstances, most political factors
in the countries use this dispute as an instrument to achieve broader support
for their governments. Since territorial disputes relating to the question of
state sovereignty, which is usually associated with psychological factors
(nationalist feelings and dignity of the people) and historical heritage
(which is not in a small number of cases coloured by a heavy imperial or
colonial past), none of the parties wants to make concessions to the other
side indicating that disputes will not be so easy to resolve and overcome
peacefully without the infiltration of external political factors. In the
study that follows, the author presents an international legal and political
analysis of the territorial dispute in the Sea of Japan with explanations on
its impact on the regional security. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
