Power Politics in Asia’s Contested Waters
This volume offers a comprehensive and empirically rich analysis of regional maritime disputes in the South China Sea (SCS). By discussing important aspects of the rise of China’s maritime power, such as territorial disputes, altered perceptions of geo-politics and challenges to the US-led regional order, the authors demonstrate that a regional power shift is taking place in Asia-Pacific. The volume also provides in-depth discussions of the responses to Chinese actions by SCS claimants as well as by important non-claimant actors.
Unbelievable Island Facts
Unbelievable Island Facts explores the world's most extraordinary islands, showcasing unique ecosystems, geological anomalies, and contested territories. These isolated landmasses serve as natural laboratories, offering insights into accelerated evolution and distinctive geological processes. For example, the book examines islands defined by extreme toxicity, where life has adapted in surprising ways, and others with uncertain sovereignty, highlighting complex geopolitical dynamics. The book adopts a fact-based approach, offering a comprehensive overview of island formation, biogeography, and political history. It reveals how these seemingly remote locations are crucial microcosms reflecting broader planetary processes. Islands are not only places of natural beauty, but also arenas of complex international affairs. The book progresses through three sections: defining the unbelievable island, detailed case studies of toxic environments and contested territories, and analysis of islands where recent discoveries have altered geographical knowledge. Ultimately, Unbelievable Island Facts demonstrates the importance of understanding these isolated systems for a more nuanced view of global challenges in Earth science, travel, and geography.
