| 内容記述 | Historical narratives, re-interpretations, and/or distortions of history have been critically linked to colonial legacies and experiences, with the objective to redraw frontiers and expand spheres of influence by some states in the name of history. In this reference, a seemingly escalating contest in the East China Sea appears to be getting intensely trapped in an unending state – a state, that of perpetuity involving a geo-strategic struggle between China and Japan revolving, among other issues, around the increasingly strained and strategically located Senkaku Gunto (Islands). This paper chronicles the history of the Senkaku Islands that can be segmented in sections highlighting the key milestones and defining the course of their existence. It remains well recorded and archived that the debate over the status of the Senkaku Islands was not highlighted as much until the decade of the 1960s. The contest being witnessed today remained relatively dormant till it reached a turning point in 1969. The contemporary history and ensuing future of the Senkakus potentially got ‘rediscovered’ by China with the discovery of huge deposits of oil and hydrocarbons in the waters surrounding the Islands in 1969 – a detection that prompted a series of vehement statements and counter-statements. The UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) [thereafter known as the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)] conducted extensive geophysical surveys in 1968 and 1969, which suggested the possible existence of the ‘richest seabed with oil and hydrocarbon deposits’ in the waters off the Senkaku Islands, to the extent of being close to the one existing in the Persian Gulf. The strategic and economic consequences of the 1969 UN discovery provided fresh impetus to the interests, claims, and contest over the Senkaku Islands. This, in a way, summarizes the vital contemporary geopolitical and geo-strategic relevance to the Senkaku Islands, which remains embedded in history. Asia’s historical past during the 20th century and its preceding period will likely continue casting a shadow on its future stability. | |||||||
