Mark J. Valencia, A Code of Conduct for the South China Sea: Politics, Principles and Possible Provisions
Mô tả
A rash of run-ins between China and rival claimants in disputed areas in the South China Sea has prompted a search for a conflict avoidance and management mechanism. In January 2012, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China began negotiating a Code of Conduct (CoC) to govern activities in the area and there are hopes that it will be agreed, presented and approved at the ASEAN-China 2012 summit in November. This paper briefly reviews recent relevant geopolitical developments and then focuses on the principles and provisions that might infuse and be incorporated in a CoC for the South China Sea.
