Amid territorial disputes in the South China Sea, growing US-China rivalry strains Philippines-China relations. This book offers critical reflections on these geopolitical challenges and explores multilateral options for peace in the region and beyond.
Because of territorial disputes and maritime jurisdictional conflicts in the South China Sea (SCS), particularly in the maritime domain known by the Philippine government as the West Philippine Sea (WPS), China and the Philippines are facing enormous difficulties in their bilateral relations. Geopolitical issues, especially against the backdrop of the growing major power rivalry between the United States and China, are exacerbating perennial challenges in Philippines-China relations. But opportunities from multilateral initiatives, like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC) in Southeast Asia advanced by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), provide options for peace in the SCS region and beyond.
This book presents the author’s critical reflections on the various ramifications of Philippines-China relations from bilateral concerns, geopolitical challenges, and multilateral issues, particularly in the context of the SCS disputes. Prepared to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of Philippines-China relations, this book is one of a kind as it offers deeper understanding of the current security dynamics in Philippines-China relations within the canvass of US-China major power competition, China-ASEAN cooperation, UNCLOS, and peaceful settlement of disputes in the SCS, among others.
