Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics by Christian Wirth

Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics by Christian Wirth

Covering the nation-states of China, Japan and South Korea, this book includes an examination of the key island disputes, as well as analysis of the North Korea-South Korea clashes in the Yellow sea, controversies in Japan's relations with both Koreas and the so-called 'history disputes'.

An excellent inter-disciplinary work that throws new light on maritime security issues in Northeast AsiaIts focus on the opposing maritime policy imperatives of China, Japan, and South Korea, and the tensions between these countries in the maritime domain is particularly useful.

Professor Sam Bateman, Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security, University of Wollongong

In this careful examination of how East Asian states perceive the sea as site of both threat and opportunity, Wirth not only provides an invaluable resource for students of regional politics and security studies. He also sheds light on the crucial role played by the sea in legitimising the modern state and securing its future.
