Reviews
Competing territorial claims, combined with Chinese expansion and militarization of the South China Sea, make this one of the most potentially dangerous areas of the world. Nalanda Roy provides a thoughtful overview of the strategic significance of the region, its historical and current disputes, the complex international legal and institutional environment, and possible avenues to minimize the threat of violent conflict. -- Yale H. Ferguson, Rutgers University-Newark
Nalanda Roy's The South China Sea Disputes is the only single-author, non-journalistic, and up-to-date comprehensive monograph on the topic so far. This book is recommended for scholarly and academic libraries and would be eminently suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses on international and security issues in Asia. It is an indispensable source on the topic, and I strongly endorse it. -- Jacek Lubecki, Georgia Southern University
This book is an informative source for anyone trying to comprehend the complexity of East and Southeast Asia. Nalanda Roy's work is admirable both for its breadth and its specificity. This study meticulously explains the intricate details of current political circumstances within the context of broad historical trends. Readers will gain insights not only into sea disputes but also the functioning of ASEAN and key individuals in Asian and global politics. More generally, the book helps us to understand the South China Sea as not only a geographic area but also a political phenomenon that evolves tenuously according to the interests and machinations of a multitude of actors. -- Dwight Haase, University of Toledo
This timely and comprehensive study on the South China Sea disputes is a noteworthy addition to the existing literature on the subject. It's an indispensable guide that provides wonderful insights into this volatile matter and its ramifications in a clear, succinct, and compact manner and could be a treasure-trove for its readers. -- Tridib Chakraborti, Jadavpur University
