The Sino-American confrontation in the South China Sea: insights from an international order perspective/ Anisa Heritage

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2020Subject(s): Online resources: In: Cambridge Review of International Affairs: Vol.33, No.1, February 2020, pp.134-156 (93)Summary: This paper goes beyond this traditional interpretation of the disputes by arguing that the territorial disputes are an expression of the broader contestation between two order-building projects by China and the United States (US). China's assertive behaviour originates in its desire to promote a 'historical' and 'post-colonial' maritime order that is premised on its Sino-centric historical narrative of the sea and on its emphasis on the historical legitimacy of the regional order of 1943-1945.
