| Summary/Abstract |
In the twenty-first century, China and Vietnam have experienced heightened conflict over their disputes in the South China Sea. But Chinese policy and the writings of Chinese observers make clear that, for China, this conflict is a struggle between a great power and its smaller neighbor over China’s demand for a sphere of influence on its borders. Since 1949, the People’s Republic of China has consistently maintained that Vietnam reject strategic cooperation with an extra-regional power. For Vietnam, however, China’s looming presence poses an existential threat that drives Vietnamese leaders to seek support from extra-regional powers. Since 2010, China has relied on coercive diplomacy and threats of crisis escalation to constrain Vietnamese reliance on outside powers, especially the United States, to challenge Chinese interests.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's recent statement has sparked tension in the region: "We should not leave the world with the impression that China is only focused on economic development, nor should we pursue the reputation of being a peaceful power." Now, the question stands whether India's growing involvement with Vietnam or her moves in the SCS will act as a counter-move to China's activities and support in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan?

| Summary/Abstract |
This article recounts the negotiations and emergence of Article 234 concerning ice-covered areas in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. As Arctic shipping increases, more vessels and flag states may be subject to the provisions of Article 234, which permit coastal states to both prescribe and enforce special measures to protect the marine environment in ice-covered areas. The history of the Article 234, disclosed partially through declassified U.S. government documents, provides context for implementation of the provision by Arctic coastal states and flag states.

| Summary/Abstract |
What makes these disputes so dangerous . . . is the apparent willingness of many claimants to employ military means in demarking their offshore territories and demonstrating their resolve to keep them.

| Summary/Abstract |
Historical analogies are sometimes used to imagine the scope and nature of a potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific. Using analogies, scenarios, and “images” of future war, instead of strategy, however, can produce an inadequate assessment of future material, operational, and tactical requirements that will be encountered by the U.S. Navy in the maritime domain. Without a long-term strategy to set force development and guide operational requirements, the U.S. Navy will suffer from a “strategy deficit” when it comes to dealing with deterrence, coercion, and escalation in the Indo-Pacific. As planning guidance, the use of analogies is no substitute for strategy.

| Summary/Abstract |
Regulation of international merchant shipping is predominantly carried out by global bodies, of which the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the most prominent. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea nevertheless explicitly or implicitly allows (limited) unilateral prescription by flag, coastal, and port states as well as the exercise of these rights collectively at the regional level. Some IMO instruments acknowledge the right to impose more stringent standards and others even encourage regional action. Moreover, while the mandate and practice of the IMO have expanded significantly since its establishment in 1958, further expansion is subject to constraints. This article explores various options for regional regulation of merchant shipping outside of the IMO. Special attention is given to such options in the Arctic region in the context of the efforts within the IMO regarding the adoption of the Mandatory Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters.

| Summary/Abstract |
Understanding the development of Republic of Korea (ROK) seapower is central in exploring the evolution and nature of its security consciousness. This article aims to examine how the wider East Asian maritime sphere has influenced ROK perceptions of its own security and how such perceptions have come into conflict with the needs of maintaining its deterrent capabilities within the peninsular context. In doing so it concludes that for the ROK seapower has been an expression of wider engagement and international developing security concerns but that it is curtailed and influenced by the realities of the threat from the North.

| Summary/Abstract |
Two important anniversaries arrive in 2014 for protracted South China Sea disputes. January 19 marked 40 years since Chinese and Vietnamese forces clashed over the Paracel Islands, resulting in the deaths of more than 50 Vietnamese personnel and an undisclosed number on the Chinese side-at least the second-largest loss of life to have occurred in any single incident involving these disputed waters. Late 2014 will also mark 20 years since China controversially built structures on the aptly named Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands, prompting a further series of incidents at sea. Recent reports that China has moved large concrete blocks to Scarborough Shoal-yet another disputed reef that was the scene of an April 2012 standoff between Chinese and Philippines vessels-have sparked concerns in Manila that history is repeating.
