This is where authoritarian China is trying to rewrite international law and challenge the democratic values of the United States and its allies. The lightning rods of conflict are remote reefs and islands from which China has created military bases in the 1.5-million-square-mile expanse of the South China Sea, a crucial world trading route that this rising world power now claims as its own. No other Asian country can take on China alone. They look for protection from the United States, although it, too, may be ill-equipped for the job at hand. If China does get away with seizing and militarizing waters here, what will it do elsewhere in the world, and who will be able to stop it? In Asian Waters, award-winning foreign correspondent Humphrey Hawksley breaks down the politics--and tensions--that he has followed through this region for years. Reporting on decades of political developments, he has witnessed China's rise to become one of the world's most wealthy and militarized countries, and delivers in Asian Waters the compelling narrative of this most volatile region. Can the United States and China handle the changing balance of power peacefully? Do Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan share enough common purpose to create a NATO- esque multilateral alliance? Does China think it can even become a superpower while making an enemy of America? If so, how does it plan to achieve it? Asian Waters delves into these topics and more as Hawksley presents the most comprehensive and accessible analysis ever of this region" --Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Territorial waters|zSoutheast Asia. 650 0 Conflict management|zSouth China Sea. 650 7 LAW|xInternational.|2bisacsh 650 7 LAW|xMaritime.|2bisacsh 650 7 Conflict management.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00874778 650 7 Diplomatic relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 International law.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00976984 650 7 Territorial waters.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01148085 650 7 Geopolitik.|2gnd 650 7 Territorialer Anspruch.|2gnd 650 7 Grenzkonflikt.|2gnd 650 7 Außenpolitik.|2gnd 650 7 Militärstützpunkt.|2gnd 650 7 Seerecht.|2gnd 651 0 South China Sea|xForeign relations|zUnited States |xStrategic aspects. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|zSouth China Sea |xStrategic aspects. 651 0 South China Sea|xInternational status. 651 0 China|xForeign relations. 651 7 China.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 South China Sea.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01244526 651 7 Southeast Asia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01240499 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 Südchinesisches Meer|zRegion.|2gnd 651 7 China.|2gnd 651 7 Südostasien.|2gnd 651 7 United States.|2gnd 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHawksley, Humphrey.|tAsian waters. |bFirst edition.|dNew York, N.Y. : The Overlook Press, [2018]|z9781468314786|w(OCoLC)992743373 914 on1039080037 994 92|bGTK
