DONALDSON John

Understanding maritime jurisdictional disputes: the East China Sea and beyond - 2005

Summarises the on-going maritime boundary dispute between China and Japan (and also involving Taiwan) arising from arguments over sovereignty of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Identifies a number of other disputes that have been successfully resolved through agreed demarcation, but notes that neither Japan nor China seem willing to seek international assistance through third-party adjudication. Includes maps.
