Unryu Suganuma

Unryu Suganuma (菅沼 雲龍, Suganuma Unryu, born 1964) is a Japanese academic interested in international relations, especially China and Japan.

Early life

Suganuma grew up in China and in Japan.[1] He was awarded a master's degree in Chinese Studies at St. John's University in 1992 and he earned a master's degree in International Relations at Syracuse University in 1993. His PhD was conferred by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs in 1996.[2]

Career

Suganuma is Associate Professor of Geography at Oberlin University in Tokyo.[2] His research interests focus on the historical justification of territorial space, investigating the historical argument of territorial disputes or irredentism which is conventionally found in debates claiming "new territory" by many states. His major thesis is that people living in different places during different periods have different concepts of territorial space.[3]

Suganuma is known for arguing "if there is a flash point to ignite a third Sino-Japanese War, it will be the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea".[4]

gollark: If you count "everyone who died but could technically have been saved with more resources given to them", then... well, that is an unreasonable assignment of blame.
gollark: What do you mean "killed over a billion people"?
gollark: You could argue that some of the riches thing is due to stuff other than economic system.
gollark: I also don't think central planning works very well at allocating resources vaguely towards what people actually want.
gollark: Authoritarian systems tend to lead to a lot of inequality too, which you seem to dislike.
