Navigating big power politics, 2011-2015.Studies of the escalating tensions and competing claims in the South China Sea overwhelmingly focus on China and its increasingly assertive approach, while the position of the other claimants is overlooked. This book focuses on the attitude of Vietnam towards the South China Sea dispute. It examines the position from a historical perspective, shows how Vietnam's position is affected by its wish to maintain good relations with China on a range of issues, and outlines how Vietnam has occasionally made overtures to both the United States and Japan in order to bolster its position, and considered the possibility, so far resisted, of taking China to formal arbitration under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The book concludes by assessing the future prospects for Vietnam's position in the dispute.Routledge security in Asia Pacific series ;31.Territorial watersSouth China Sea RegionTerritorial watersVietnamSouth China SeaInternational statusSouth China SeaStrategic aspectsVietnamForeign relationsChinaChinaForeign relationsVietnamTerritorial watersTerritorial waters341.4/480916472341.4480916472Do Thanh Hai.910272MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155035503321Vietnam and the South China Sea2037446UNINA
