Although the flare-up of tensions in East Asia over the disputed
islands, which are alternatively called Diaoyu (China), Diaoyutai
(Taiwan) and Senkaku (Japan), seems to be ever more frequent, it
has not always been the case. Lessons from the Disturbed Waters
traces the origin of the issue back to when it first surfaced in
the 1970s. The book explains the positions of the claimants, China,
Japan and Taiwan, and explores the reasons why they have taken such
positions over the past few decades. Unlike the other books which
analyse the disputes predominantly from a geopolitical perspective,
this books tries to do so mainly from the perspectives of
international law, conflict management, negotiation strategies, and
history. Readers will get to see an interesting dynamism played out
among the three actors which are directly involved and the
influence of extra-regional stakeholders such as the US over the
disputes. While the disputes are still evolving, the author hopes
this book can shed new light on the intricacies and complexities of
the disputes and can provide some threads for further in-depth
discussions.
