This book analyses Chinese social constructions of sovereignty in
the context of the East China Sea conflict. It specifically
explores China and Taiwan's overlapping cross-Strait sovereignty
claims and their domestic debates and policies towards the
territorial dispute. Providing an up-to-date discussion of the East
China Sea conflict, the book challenges conventional assumptions
regarding both Beijing's and Taipei's adherence to the classical
notion of Westphalian sovereignty. Instead, it brings China and
Taiwan into the Constructivist analytical framework and develops a
domestic agency-focused approach to demonstrate the social power of
ideas and the centrality of domestic actors in the production of
sovereignty. Offering a comprehensive examination of Chinese,
Taiwanese, Japanese and US responses at the domestic and
international levels, the book studies the sovereignty narratives
and the coordination of efforts made by the PRC and ROC authorities
to counter Japan's territorial claims in the East China Sea.
Featuring extensive analysis of the conceptual approaches to
understanding Chinese sovereignty, Chinese Constructions of
Sovereignty and the East China Sea Conflict will be useful for
students and scholars of Chinese and Asian politics, as well as
international relations and security studies.
