SUMMARY:Maritime Regime Building in East Asia: The Past\, Present and Its P
 rospects for the Future
DESCRIPTION:\n	Koo Min Gyo (Associate Professor\, Graduate School of Public
  Administration\, Seoul National University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chai
 r/Discussant: Beth Simmons (Clarence Dillon Professor of International Aff
 airs\, Department of Government\, Harvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored by 
 the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	East Asia is home to many of
  the world’s most vexing territorial disputes. Even small\, barely habit
 able offshore islands can serve as the most persistent and explosive bone 
 of contention. Globalization has ushered in an era of ‘borderless world.
 ’ In East Asia\, however\, coastal states are engaged in an accelerating
  arms race at sea\, giving rise to a ‘New Cold War’ period. The danger
  of conflict escalation at sea has grown particularly large for the past c
 ouple of years. There seems to be no end in sight to the tensions.\n\n	Dur
 ing the Cold War and the post-Cold War years\, maritime order in East Asia
  had been maintained by the U.S. hegemony. However\, in the transition per
 iod\, the regional maritime order is growing ever more unstable due to the
  constantly changing geo-political and geo-economic conditions. At the cen
 ter of the structural shift lies a rising China that is increasingly becom
 ing a maritime power. What makes the matter even more complicated is Ameri
 ca’s recent change of attitude from being passive to showing active inte
 nts to re-engage itself in the maritime issue area.\n\n	East Asia’s mari
 time issues have evolved within a number of contexts including politics\, 
 economics\, and law. They form a multi-layered structure of issues involvi
 ng territorial sovereignty\, delimitation of maritime boundaries\, resourc
 e development\, and protection of the environment. This study explores how
  the new Sino-U.S. rivalry has affected the existing maritime balance of p
 ower in East Asia. Also\, it sheds a new light on the significance of the 
 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)\, a normative fou
 ndation of contemporary global maritime regimes\, in view of the new regio
 nal balance of power. Finally\, this study examines the extent to which th
 e UNCLOS\, despite the ambiguity of key rules and procedures\, can serve a
 s meta-regime on which a new regional maritime order can be built.
