ReviewsThis book is an informative source for anyone trying to comprehend the complexity of East and Southeast Asia. Nalanda Roy's work is admirable both for its breadth and its specificity. This study meticulously explains the intricate details of current political circumstances within the context of broad historical trends. Readers will gain insights not only into sea disputes but also the functioning of ASEAN and key individuals in Asian and global politics. More generally, the book helps us to understand the South China Sea as not only a geographic area but also a political phenomenon that evolves tenuously according to the interests and machinations of a multitude of actors., This timely and comprehensive study on the South China Sea disputes is a noteworthy addition to the existing literature on the subject. It's an indispensable guide that provides wonderful insights into this volatile matter and its ramifications in a clear, succinct, and compact manner and could be a treasure-trove for its readers., Undergraduate courses on Asian security will . . . benefit from the book's extensive use of secondary sources to discuss the claimants' positions and interests. In this sense, The South China Sea Disputes remains a valuable contribution to the study of Southeast Asian security dynamics., Competing territorial claims, combined with Chinese expansion and militarization of the South China Sea, make this one of the most potentially dangerous areas of the world. Nalanda Roy provides a thoughtful overview of the strategic significance of the region, its historical and current disputes, the complex international legal and institutional environment, and possible avenues to minimize the threat of violent conflict., Nalanda Roy's The South China Sea Disputes is the only single-author, non-journalistic, and up-to-date comprehensive monograph on the topic so far. This book is recommended for scholarly and academic libraries and would be eminently suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses on international and security issues in Asia. It is an indispensable source on the topic, and I strongly endorse it.

SynopsisThis study provides political and economic analyses of current controversies in the South China Sea. It examines enduring territorial disputes, competing maritime claims, and the historical roots of regional mistrust. It also analyzes how such antagonisms affect the regional security structure and offers solutions to resolve the conflicts., The South China Sea has long been regarded as one of the most complex and challenging ocean-related maritime disputes in East Asia. Recently it has become the locus of disputes that have the potential of escalating into serious international conflicts. Historical mistrust, enduring territorial disputes, and competing maritime claims have combined to weaken an at least partially successful regional security structure. Issues of concern include territorial sovereignty; disputed claims to islands, rocks, and reefs; jurisdiction over territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, and the seabed; regional and international rights to use the seas for military purposes; maritime security; rapid economic development; and environmental degradation. The fear is that increasing competition for energy and other resources will exacerbate conflicts and further fuel nationalism and sovereignty issues in the region. The SCS has an integrated ecosystem and is one of the richest seas in the world in terms of marine flora and fauna: coral reefs, mangroves, sea-grass beds, fish, and plants. National economic security can be easily affected by conflicts occurring in major international trade routes like the SCS, or how such an unclear situation might even give rise to environmental challenges in the future. The book creates an understanding as to why this region is important not only to the claimants but to global powers like the United States and India. The book examines current and potential conflicts in the South China Sea, and also evaluates how conflicts have been "managed" to date and suggests as to how they might be better managed in the future. This book concludes with recommendations for improving the situation in the region by ensuring a strong economic relationships, using high-resolution observation satellites, and undertaking joint development, and resource exploration etc.
