Description

Since the coming into force of the United Nations Law of the Sea, states have been targeting outlying islands to expand their exclusive economic zones. No such actions have brought the world closer to the brink of war than the ongoing face-off between China and Japan over the Diaoyu / Senkaku Islands. This book provides a detailed exploration of seven tried and tested solution protocols that have led to innovative 'win-win' solutions to island disputes over the last four centuries. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners involved in the Diaoyu / Senkaku dispute, as well as scholars of geography, international relations, political studies, Asian studies and history.
