Description

This work analyzes the balance between power and law in China's approach to settling disputes with neighbouring countries for ocean resources. It considers China's ocean frontier as a whole from the legal strategic and economic perspectives.The book canvasses arguments that China represents a destabilizing force in many regional security issues, such as security of shipping, but concludes that China has very powerful interests in co-operation, not conflict, on its ocean frontier.
