The main purpose of the article is to deal with the structurally restrictive factors of the conflict regarding the dominion over islands in Northeast Asia in the post-Cold War era. The maritime boundary delimitation problem, the unique-territory theory vs. the effective-governance dispute, and the nationalistic modern vs. postmodern conflict will be analyzed. The resolution of the territorial disputes of this region is becoming more difficult as the national benefits and nationalism of the concerned nations affect the delimitation of territories and the setting of boundaries. The territorial disputes of this region are generally expressed as potential factors of conflict. Disputes over island regions instead of the mainland make it difficult to promote territorial sovereignty. The countries directly concerned in the territorial disputes display postmodern nationalistic tendencies that are becoming realistic political and diplomatic problems. These are focused on the national benefit of the homeland as well as the economic, military, and political power and public opinion of the right-wing conservatives. In this context, the territorial disputes in Northeast Asia are becoming more heated. Politicians use the disputed areas and the historically established nationalistic emotions for political purposes. The leaders of each country are displaying strong nationalistic tendencies related to the territorial disputes, thereby increasing the tendency to use this as a type of plan to gather political support.
