Abstract:

The topic for this thesis is Sino-Russian relations. More specifically, this thesis will address Sino-Russian relations as they effect the economic development of Northeast Asia. The economic development of Northeast Asia and the overall relationship between Russia and China are both of great interest to the United States, for reasons both economic and political. China and Russia could both gain much from joint economic development of Northeast Asia, including political and military power. Yet there are also reasons why this region has never been successfully developed, as an analysis of historical and economic factors will show. At this time, there exists far too many barriers to cooperation than exist benefits to be gained from cooperation-but that may not always be the case. Because the situation might change, Sino-Russian cooperation in Northeast Asia must be monitored closely.
