China's Policy towards the South China SeaWhen Geopolitics Meets the Law of the Sea\nAuthor(s): Lingqun Li\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367888985, 978-0367888985\nSynopsis\nThis book provides an explanation of Chinese policy towards the South China Sea, and argues that this has been sculpted by the changing dynamics of the law of the sea in conjunction with regional geopolitical flux.\n\nThe past few decades have witnessed a bifurcated trend in Chinas management of territorial disputes. Over the years, while China gradually calmed and settled most land-border disputes with its neighbors, disputes on the ocean frontier continued to simmer in a seething cauldron. China's Policy towards the South China Sea attributes the distinctive path of Chinas approach to maritime disputes to a unique factor the law of the sea (LOS) as the \""rules of the road\"" in the ocean. By deconstructing the concept of \""sovereignty\"".
