AB - The purpose of this paper is to search for the geopolitical implications of the East Sea, relate them to the conflicts surrounding the name of the sea, and find some solutions of the problem. Such factors as the locational characteristics as the meeting place of communist and capitalist powers, the emergence of the East Sea Rim as a development axis, and the political interests and antagonism between the countries, have influenced on the geopolitics of this region, and had it extended to the controversial issues of territory, economic zone and sea name. To this, distinctive politics of toponymy has been added, which has induced the naming problem to remain unsolved. In consideration of the status quo of the arguments on the name East Sea/Sea of Japan, three possible solutions are suggested; agreeing on a new name, using dual names, and separating sea areas and naming each of them. Any of these solutions should be preceded by the political decisions of the countries concerned.
