{"product_id":"vietnam-and-the-south-china-do-thanh-hai-9781138929975","title":"Vietnam and the South China Sea: Politics, Security and Legality","description":"\u003cp\u003eStudies of the escalating tensions and competing claims in the South China Sea overwhelmingly focus on China and its increasingly assertive approach, while the position of the other claimants is overlooked. This book focuses on the attitude of Vietnam towards the South China Sea dispute. It examines the position from a historical perspective, shows how Vietnam's position is affected by its wish to maintain good relations with China on a range of issues, and outlines how Vietnam has occasionally made overtures to both the United States and Japan in order to bolster its position, and considered the possibility, so far resisted, of taking China to formal arbitration under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The book concludes by assessing the future prospects for Vietnam's position in the dispute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Do Thanh Hai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138929972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138929975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Do Thanh Hai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065381138687,"sku":"9781138929975","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0015e050-6b87-492a-a0b0-1d422fe23288.jpg?v=1768674814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vietnam-and-the-south-china-do-thanh-hai-9781138929975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
