Reviews

The South China Sea dispute is one that can be examined in terms of legality and the application of the Law of the Sea, conflict management and resolution, and also the role of external powers. Books on the South China Sea are becoming more common but few examine all these levels. This edited book, compiled from papers submitted to the fifth workshop on the South China Sea hosted by the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam in 2013, provides detailed chapters on legality and conflict management. There is no other book with a similar emphasis and it should be in the library of those who are concerned about this issue. -- Leszek Buszynski, Australian National University In this book, an impressive group of international experts bring us up to date, explain the legal and other complexities, point out the significance of the dispute about who owns what in the South China Sea and suggest ways in which it might be handled, given that agreement about how it might be resolved in the foreseeable future seems highly unlikely. This is a welcome and important book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of a crucial issue for the Asia-Pacific region, and indeed for the world more generally. -- Geoffrey Till, King's College London
