Item description from seller

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The South China Sea is less a monolithic 'ocean' than a mosaic of rocks, reefs, shoals, and atolls that have become prizes in a contest between great powers and neighboring states. This book traces the evolution of the disputes from early navigation routes and colonial maps to the modern 'nine dash line,' the 2016 arbitration ruling, and the construction of airstrips and guard posts on reclaimed features. It explains how each contested outcrop-such as the Paracel and Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal-carries outsized legal, military, and symbolic weight, turning handfuls of stone and sand into anchors of air defence zones and potential flashpoints.Drawing on history, maritime law analysis, and documentary style field reporting, it shows how China, the United States, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan use surveillance flights, coast guard patrols, and archaeological surveys to assert presence and memory. The narrative also situates the South China Sea within the broader Indo Pacific and Taiwan Strait context, highlighting how these disputes weave into alliance systems, freedom of navigation operations, and regional imaginations of sovereignty.
