Inhalt
The South China Sea dispute is one of the most pressing security problems in East Asia. A standoff between Filipino and Chinese war vessels in 2012 over a fisher boat-incident near Panatag Shoal (as the Philippines call it) and Huangyan Island (as the Chinese call it) almost turned into an open military conflict. Such a conflict would significantly hinder freedom of passage in the South China Sea. Considering that annually roughly one third of global trade passes through the Sea and the adjacent Strait of Malacca makes it a strategic waterway. The economic consequences of a conflict between the riparian states, such as China, the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam would thus be significant. Against this background this seminar will focus on the causes and manifestations of this conflict over time by addressing factors such as national interests of the state actors involved, the response of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to this security problem and the role of international regimes such as the United Nations Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
