China's Response to Disputes in the South China and East China Seas

Arribas-Douglas, Miramelinda Badri

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, Political Science.
The escalating conflicts over territory in the heart of the maritime South and East China Seas have implications for regional stability in Asia. The territory is resource rich; located in strategic waterways; and contains undisputed oil and natural gas. There is also a perceived shift in the international system established by the United States since World War II, with China seeking to take its place as the regional power. China's behavior towards the remaining claimants and in part towards other external players in the disputes are analyzed through concepts in International Relations and case studies in International Law. In concluding, International Relations concepts in the realist tradition, namely the Balance of Threat, best explains China's behavior in pursuit of its maritime claims in the South China and East China Seas.
