Nalanda Roy, The South China Sea Dispute: Past, Present, and Future

Nalanda Roy, The South China Sea Dispute: Past, Present, and Future Book Review Journal of Asian Security Book Review and International Affairs 6(1) 96–105, 2019 The Author(s) 2019 Reprints and permissions: in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india DOI: 10.1177/2347797018823973 journals.sagepub.com/home/aia Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2016, 161 pp., US$ 57.46 (hardbound). ISBN: 9781498536233. In her book The South China Sea Disputes, Nalanda Roy gives readers what she refers to as a ‘policy-orientated analytical narrative targeting interested attentive- elite readers’ (p. 8). In just over 100 pages of text, she provides a succinct and very readable, but largely descriptive, history of the various South China Sea (SCS) disputes. Her chapters explore issues such as the strategic and economic importance of the SCS disputes, a historical background, the role of external powers in the SCS, as well as the role of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). In the last 12 pages of the book, she even engages international relations (IR) theory and tends to view constructivism as a major reason for the absence of war in the SCS. In the first two chapters, she provides a short background on each state involved in the dispute and analyses their particular claims. Importantly, she also explains the role of energy and other natural resources in the SCS. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Asian Security and International Affairs SAGE
