Combining practical and theoretical approaches, this book addresses
the political, legal and economic implications of maritime disputes
in East Asia. The maritime disputes in East Asia have multiplied
over the past few years, in parallel with the economic growth of
the countries in the region, the rise of nationalist movements,
fears and sometimes fantasies regarding the emergence of the
People's Republic of China (PRC) as a global power, increasing
military expenses, as well as speculations regarding the potential
resources in various disputed islands. These disputes, however, are
not new and some have been the subject of contention and the cause
of friction for decades, if not centuries in a few cases. Offering
a robust analysis, this volume explores disputes through the
different lenses of political science, international law, history
and geography, and introduces new approaches in particular to the
four important disputes concerning Dokdo/Takeshima, Senkaku/Diaoyu,
Paracels and Spratlys. Utilising a comparative approach, this book
identifies transnational trends that occur in the different cases
and, therefore, at the regional level, and aims to understand
whether the resurgence of maritime disputes in East Asia may be
studied on a case by case basis, or should be analysed as a
regional phenomenon with common characteristics. This book will be
of interest to students of Asian Politics, Maritime Security,
International Security, Geopolitics and International Relations in
general.
