Maritime disputes in East Asia and the Pacific region – the stormy waves of international relations

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 6

Abstract

The paper portrays the overall political–military situation in East Asia with a focus on security challenges which are involving major regional powers, namely China, Japan, Russia and South Korea. The paper outlines the regional implications of current maritime disputes as a major dynamic of security concerns in East Asia. The main attention is given to territorial disagreements involving China as a major power in the region. Also, smaller nations are mentioned as the disputes are strongly influencing their foreign policy and forcing them to develop defence capabilities. Additionally, the US position toward regional matters is outlined, as the nation is playing a significant role there as an ally or potential opponent for many countries.<br/><br/>
