Description
The South China Sea Disputes: A Complex Regional Balance China's growing influence casts a significant shadow over regional power dynamics in the Asia Pacific, with the South China Sea at its epicentre. This potentially resource-rich sea is home to multiple territorial disputes that extend far beyond the islands at their heart, into the realm of great-power politics. Christian Le Mière and Sarah Raine provide a clear-sighted analysis of the competing strategies employed by nations in support of their claims, cutting through the complexities of these disputes. Their examination reveals how the course of these disputes will shape the regional order in Southeast Asia, with far-reaching implications for cooperation or competition. The authors' insightful approach makes this book an essential resource for understanding the intricacies of the South China Sea Disputes and their broader significance in international relations.
