The price of Asian conflict
By Chietigj Bajpaee

Conclusion
It is widely believed that through developing relations in economic and cultural arenas that the security arena will somehow become irrelevant, or disappear. However, the popularity of Japanese pop music in South Korea or South Korean soap operas in Japan has not prevented the escalation of tensions between both states over the Tokdo/Takeshima islets.

Nor has the fact that China is now Japan's largest trading partner prevented protests against Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, or deterred football hooliganism at the Asian Cup final between the two states.

To be sure, economic interdependence and cultural exchanges are important, as can be seen by growing Taiwanese investment in China having a restraining influence on the separatist tendencies of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan. Increasing transport linkages and cricket and Bollywood diplomacy have also reignited a sense of shared history and culture between India and Pakistan.

However, these processes can only go so far. Rapprochement in the security arena must proceed in tandem with improving relations in the economic and cultural arenas for the sense of goodwill to be solidified. Economic, political and security cooperation are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually reinforcing.
