| Summary/Abstract |
The world does not lack for trouble spots in 2014, when tragedies in Ukraine and the Middle East have dominated Western headlines. Less prominent in recent months has been the potential for clashes between China and its neighbors in the South and East China Seas. Yet this is a region where a large proportion of the world's population lives and the world's second and third biggest economies (China and Japan) are located, with the single largest economy (the United States) also exercising a powerful regional role. A clash here would have global repercussions.
