| Summary/Abstract |
The article analyzes current approaches and practices used in Vietnam's foreign policy in dealing with territorial disputes in the South China Sea to which it is an active party. Convinced of its rights to part of its water area, archipelagos and islands in the South China Sea, Vietnam is searching for diplomatic and military-political instruments that would enable it to oppose more successfully its main rival in the South China Sea - the People's Republic of China - and at the same time, not to jeopardize its relations with the PRC as its biggest trade and economic partner.
