The Origin of the South China Sea Disputes: Historical Perspectives
Most of the disputes in the South China Sea have existed for quite a while. This session examines the activities of claimants and stakeholders throughout history to trace the origin and evolution of the territorial and maritime disputes in the South China Sea. Who claims what in the South China Sea and since when? What were the factors driving the claimants’ interests in offshore territories? How have major powers got involved in the South China Sea? How have the courses of their national development influenced the South China Sea coastal countries’ maritime policies? How have maritime aspirations been incorporated into national narratives and geopolitical considerations to inform the policies of regional and extra-regional states in the South China Sea?
The first session of the 8th International Confereence on the South China Sea, titled: "The Origins of the South China Sea Disputes: Historical Perspectives", is moderated by Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Vu Tung, President of the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.
