Description
Over the last few decades there has been growing recognition of the importance of a peaceful and stable South China Sea for Indo-Pacific security and development, a recognition that has been underlain, paradoxically, by the increasingly precarious situation in this body of water that straddles critical shipping lanes from the Indian to the Pacific Ocean. This book informs its readership of the most recent developments in the South China Sea with insightful and prescient analyses from both legal and international relations perspectives. It delves into the policy perspectives and deliberations of the various relevant regional and extra-regional actors in the South China Sea dispute, the exercise of international law in the context of the changing regional political landscape, and the promise and pitfalls of past, current, and potential initiatives to manage and settle the dispute. Written by some of the most well-known scholars and knowledgeable insiders in the fields South China Sea studies, the collection offers a wide array of diverse views that should help enrich the ongoing global discussion on conflict management and resolution in the South China Sea.

The South China Sea dispute is one that can be examined in terms of legality and the application of the Law of the Sea, conflict management and resolution, and also the role of external powers. Books on the South China Sea are becoming more common but few examine all these levels. This edited book provides detailed chapters on legality and conflict management. There is no other book with a similar emphasis and it should be in the library of those who are concerned about this issue.

In this book, an impressive group of international experts bring us up to date, explain the legal and other complexities, point out the significance of the dispute in the South China Sea and suggest ways in which it might be handled, given that agreement about how it might be resolved in the foreseeable future seems highly unlikely. This is a welcome and important book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of a crucial issue for the Asia-Pacific region, and indeed for the world more generally.
