This seven-chapter book examines the background to and consequences
of the disputed occupation of Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands
group of the South China Sea (SCS) by the People's Republic of
China (PRC), from the mid-1990s to the present day. Although
Mischief Reef has received significant media attention and has been
discussed in academic journal articles and policy research reports,
no books on the topic have appeared since a 30-page publication in
1996. By covering the topic in historical, domestic political,
legal, economic, strategic, and geo-political terms, this book not
only fills a gap on a particularly important issue with global
consequences, but also acts as a follow-on to a previous Palgrave
book by this author on another maritime dispute, Socotra Rock. This
book will be of interest to journalists, scholars and legal
theorists researching the implications of China's rise for maritime
disputes in East Asia.
This book exclusively addresses the political, historical and
important contemporary strategic implications of the decades-long
Socotra Rock dispute between China and South Korea. It is one of
several maritime disputes involving China and a smaller state, and
for which maritime law offers no apparent remedy. There is little
doubt it will continue to be a problem in the future and should no
longer be overlooked. The submerged rock, located between mainland
China and the Korean Peninsula, straddles the Yellow Sea and the
East China Sea. As China continues asserting its sovereignty and
jurisdiction in maritime areas, this book will provide food for
thought for scholars, think-tank researchers, and policymakers.
