This chapter gives an overview of the book and explains its framework and key terms. It defines sovereignty as a state’s authority claims over activities within a given political space, and presents the cross-border mobility of Koreans as a challenge to the authority of four governments. It discusses the concept of borderland, specific characteristics of the Tumen borderland, the standardization of legal categories of subjects and aliens as a core project of the modern state, necessity of integrating Northeast Asia into global histories of migration and governance, historiography of Korean diaspora studies in the fields of Korean, Chinese, Russian, and Soviet history, and significance of transnational approaches to the study of this region. Finally, it provides a summary of the ensuing chapters.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the market structure of rechargeable batteries, and the importance of battery production cost on the commercialization of Electric Vehicles. In this regard, the two generations of electric vehicle penetration in the society, in the period of 1996 to 2012, are concerned. It is argued that a combination of pre-production factors such as raw materials and technology breakthroughs, as well as post-production factors such as rise of East-Asian competitors will define the next market trend of EV batteries. Among the implications of this study, the competition between Korean, Chinese and Japanese battery suppliers is also explained.
