This book provides an explanation of Chinese policy towards the South China Sea, and argues that this has been sculpted by the changing dynamics of the law of the sea in conjunction with regional geopolitical flux. The past few decades have witnessed a bifurcated trend in China's management of territorial disputes. Over the years, while China gradually calmed and settled most land-border disputes with its neighbors, disputes on the ocean frontier continued to simmer in a seething cauldron. This book attributes the distinctive path of China's approach to maritime disputes to a unique factor - the law of the sea (LOS) as the 'rules of the road' in the ocean. By deconstructing the concept of 'sovereignty' and treating the LOS as an evolving regime, the book examines how the changing dynamics of the LOS regime have complicated and reshaped the nature and content of sovereign disputes in the ocean regime as well as the options of settlement. Applying the findings to the South China Sea case, the author traces the learning curve on which China has embarked to comprehend the complexity of the dispute accordingly and finds that it is the dynamic interaction of the law of the sea regime and the geopolitical conditions that has driven the evolution of China's South China Sea policy.

Since the early 1990s and the end of the Cold War, the implications of China's rising power have come to dominate the security agenda of the Asia-Pacific region. Although China's prioritization of economic development has created many valuable trade and investment opportunities, and encouraged China's gradual integration into the international community, economic growth is enabling China to modernize its armed forces, which, if present trends continue, will soon be among the largest and most powerful in the region. How China will flex its increased political, economic and military might is a key question for all China's neighbors. This book examines ASEAN-Chinese relations over recent years, showing how worries about China's developing role have been a significant factor in shaping the nature of ASEAN and its policies. The book includes a discussion of economic relations between China and the different ASEAN countries, an examination of how external powers have influenced the regional security environment, and an assessment of how China-ASEAN relations might develop over the next few decades against a backdrop of rising Sino-US competition.

"This coauthored ethnography bridges the traditional divide between studies of China and peninsular Southeast Asia by examining the agency, dynamics, and resilience of livelihoods adopted by ethnic minority Hmong communities in Vietnam and China's Yunnan Province, both within each country and across the border. It contests the prevalence of country-based studies of such populations and promotes a transnational approach. The product of wide-ranging research over many years, this study is particularly valuable because it covers the reactions to state modernization projects (and the global market forces that have accompanied them) among the same ethnic group in two national jurisdictions which, despite their common Marxist-Leninist political systems and neoliberalizing economies, have pursued somewhat different policies with respect to "development" in minority communities along the border. The work contributes to a growing body of literature on cross-border dynamics for ethnic minorities along the borderlands between China and its neighbors, and more broadly within mainland Southeast Asia"--
