Opis

Providing substantial evidence that strategic competition between the United States, China and South East Asia promotes stability, Liselotte Odgaard argues that security relations between China and South East Asia are profoundly affected by disputes over maritime space and territory in the South China Sea. Suitable for scholars and graduate students of international relations, international law, security studies, conflict management and regionalism, this text will also be invaluable supplementary reading for undergraduate courses.

Recenzje

’Odgaard has produced an elegant analysis of the South China Sea disputes which goes beyond mainstream views which focus on conflict and war. Her critical use of the English School together with her unique fieldwork experience in the South China Sea workshops persuasively shows how the disputes are not just a problem, but an opportunity for crafting a new form of regional order in East Asia. This impressive work thus pushes the boundaries of both international theory and East Asian international relations; it will be valuable for both teaching and research.’ Dr William A. Callahan, University of Durham, UK '...comprehensive and well researched and argued, and will be of interest to analysts concerned with Asia-Pacific security in general and the South China Sea disputes in particular...a valuable contribution to the field and is worth a careful read.'
