DESCRIPTION:Between the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 and th
 e expiration of the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact in 1945\, the Russo-
 Japanese rivalry was contained by a fragile strategic balance that paradox
 ically fostered an unprecedented wave of inter-imperial exchange. Koreans\
 , Mongols\, Tatars\, Kazakhs\, and Buryats\, among others\, moved across i
 mperial frontiers\, seeking in the rival empire both a refuge and a vehicl
 e for their own aspirations toward nationhood and modernity. Machinations 
 through proxies\, containment of direct warfare\, agitation of minoritaria
 n identities\, and borderlands animated by military reconnaissance\, insur
 gency\, and arms trafficking prefigured the geopolitical and ideological s
 tructures that would later define the Cold War. Yet existing scholarship h
 as rarely recognized this Pax Japano-Russica as a crucial precursor\, and 
 indeed\, a direct progenitor\, of the Cold War complex. This panel examine
 s how Pax Japano-Russica shaped the geopolitical and ideological alignment
 s of modern Northeast Asia\, both in its own time and in its afterlife dur
 ing the Cold War. Collectively\, the papers propose a new prism for Cold W
 ar studies: one that situates Pax Japano-Russica as the formative crucible
  from which the region’s Cold War order emerged. By foregrounding the co
 ntinuities between these two historical moments\, the panel highlights how
  non-dominant actors animated inter-bloc mobility and how subordinate iden
 tities became the very substance through which hegemonic block formations 
 were consolidated.
