Herman Joseph S. Kraft 
 -  2015 
<br/><br/> This article takes a look at the South China Sea disputes and explores the factors that have contributed to the intensifying situation there and the prospects for their further escalation - by considering the emergence of China as a dominant regional power, and the potential involvement of other major powers particularly the United States.  It also explores the prospects of how the territorial disputes in the South China Sea can be managed in order to reduce the likelihood that these can spiral downwards into crisis and even conflict.
