Overview
The South China Sea disputes continue to confuse and confound policymakers. The claims of all of the countries involved - China, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei - have serious weaknesses under the principles of international law that govern the issues. In this text, the authors survey the principles that appear to guide the nations of the South China Sea region in their regional relations, and they identify the appropriate objectives of a regional resource authority. They also identify the political realities of the region, which serve as constraints on the design of a regime.

Reviews
' From an international law perspective, chapter III of the book under review is one of its most interesting parts. The first part of chapter III analyzes the legal merits of the claims of the states involved to the Spratly Islands and the second part looks at the rules of international law applicable to the delimitation of maritime zones in the area of the Spratly Islands. Although this part of the book is mostly intended to set the stage for the analysis of the various options for cooperative arrangements, its importance should not be underestimated. The authors note that as 'the principles of international law may play a key role in resolving these disputes, it is useful to sort out the issues so that the strengths and weaknesses of the claims under international law can be understood'.' Alex G. Oude Elferink, Netherlands International Law Review,1999.
