Conflict irresolution in the South China Sea / 
David Scott. 
 -  2012 
<br/><br/> Discusses the onging disagreements over boundaries in the South China Sea. Suggests that Track 2, and Track 1 efforts particularly by ASEAN have limited military actions but have not resolved the conflicts. Countries directly involved are Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC), while external powers with interests are the USA, India, Japan and Australia. Concludes that the present stalemate may have longer term benefits by providing time during which cooperation grows to a point where overt aggression becomes increasingly difficult in a political sense.
