ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
Increasing tensions in the South China Sea
have propelled the dispute to the top of the Asia-Pacific’s security agenda.
Fuelled by rising nationalism over ownership of disputed atolls, growing
competition over natural resources, strident assertions of their maritime
rights by China and the Southeast Asian Claimants, the rapid modernization of
regional armed forces and worsening geopolitical rivalries among the Great
Powers, the South China Sea will remain an area of diplomatic wrangling and
potential conflict for the foreseeable future. Featuring some of the world’s leading
experts on Asian security, this volume explores the central drivers of the
dispute and examines the positions and policies of the main actors including
China, Taiwan, the Southeast Asian claimants, America and Japan. The South China Sea Dispute: Navigating
Diplomatic and Strategic Tensions provides readers with the key to
understanding how this most complex and contentious dispute is shaping the
regional security environment.
