Acharya, Arabinda.

South China Sea developments and implications for freedom of navigation[electronic resource] /Arabinda Acharya, Antara Desai. - London :World Scientific Publishing Europe,c2022. - 1 online resource (200 p.)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- China and the Thucydides' trap -- South China Sea: setting the stage of the conflict -- China, the US, and the world -- South China Sea and the maritime law -- Politics of artificial islands -- Military build-up in the South China Sea and its implications -- Exercises and other military developments in the South China Sea -- Attempts to resolve the conflict -- Conclusion: the dispute in the shadow of a pandemic.

"The South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as a theatre of political, economic, and security concerns not only for the countries in the region but also for the world at large. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the SCS issue is not about contestation over territory or control over resources alone. With military facilities including airstrips and artificial islands or structures being built in the area, concerns about freedom of navigation and the right to innocent passage have also become an overwhelming security issue and made the SCS region a flashpoint which, according to many assessments, can lead to confrontations including those involving conventional military means. Disruption of maritime passage could also hamper trade and commerce with very negative impacts on the economic development of the region and other countries. It is now being held that China could also be using the SCS disputes as part of a consorted effort to deflect geo-political pressures on account of the COVID-19 pandemic-related cover-ups and misinformation. This book explores the historical and strategic context of the South China Sea disputes and makes an assessment of the implications of the same for freedom of navigation and other regimes at sea."--
