Is naval conflict in the Asia-Pacific region becoming more likely?
On the face of it, this seems likely; nearly all countries in the
region are rapidly modernising their navies and expanding their
maritime capabilities at a time of increasingly rancorous disputes
over sovereignty. This is especially the case in the East and South
China Seas, with their supply of fish and largely untapped
resources in oil and gas. Across the region there is a growing
recognition of the economic importance of the sea, both for its
resources and for the crucial shipping it facilitates. But economic
growth goes both ways, developing increasing interdependence
between the countries of the region. Expanding trade is subject to
serious threats from pirates, drug-smugglers and other forms of
maritime crime, and navies and coastguards are coming together to
combat them. Which will prevail, the tendency to compete, or the
tendency to cooperate? In reviewing the maritime policies of the
major countries of the region, this volume aims to answer this
question.
