It is written within the global context so that lessons learned from this exercise will have global implications. Contributors include former judges from ITLOS, legal advisors to States who participated in the negotiation and drafting of UNCLOS, as well as outstanding scholars of both law and geography, many of whom have acted as counsel or experts in cases before international court and tribunals.

This important book provides neutral and objective analysis of law of the sea issues of relevance to the South China Sea and will therefore prove a valuable resource to Government officials and policy-makers from the ASEAN countries, Australia, China, Japan, Korea and the United States. It will also be of special interest to political analysts with an ongoing interest in the legal issues pertaining to the South China Sea region in light of concerns regarding conflict, challenges to freedom of navigation and access to resources.

Critical Acclaim
‘Scholarly and thorough, yet eminently readable, this book offers up important lessons and possibly paradigms for the management of cross-border, or international disputes on territory, access to resources and other challenges to long-established maritime legal principles, notably freedom of navigation. . . Policy makers and government officials, as well as practitioners and academics with concerns about this potentially volatile region should definitely read the insightful and up-to-date material presented conveniently in this book.’
