This edited volume examines the issues involved in light of confidence- building measures that new high-resolution satellite imagery can offer to this, and other, regions. Baker, Wiencek, and their contributors assess the potential role for cooperative monitoring in mitigating the risk of conflict arising from multinational disputes over the Spratly Islands. They analyze how this new generation of civilian and commercial observation satellites can be used to reduce the changes of armed conflict breaking out by providing transparency that will detect and identify politically significant activities occurring at disputed islands and reefs among the Spratlys. Of particular interest to policy makers, scholars, and other researchers involved with military issues in Asia and international security concerns. 606 $aConfidence and security building measures (International relations)$xTechnological innovations 606 $aConflict management 607 $aSpratly Islands$xInternational status 607 $aSouth China Sea$vRemote-sensing images 615 0$aConfidence and security building measures (International relations)$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aConflict management. 676 $a341.4/2 701 $aBaker$b John C.$f1949-$0924038 701 $aWiencek$b David G.$f1958-$01811613 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953856703321 996 $aCooperative monitoring in the South China Sea$94363600 997 $aUNINA
