On Dangerous Ground: America's Century in the South China Sea de Gregory B. Poling

On Dangerous Ground: America's Century in the South China Sea

Autor Gregory B. Poling
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2022

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului On Dangerous Ground, o lucrare ce se încadrează riguros în programul de studiu al geopoliticii și relațiilor internaționale contemporane. Într-un context academic dominat adesea de analize axate exclusiv pe competiția dintre marile puteri, Gregory B. Poling propune o recalibrare necesară, documentând modul în care interesele SUA în Marea Chinei de Sud nu sunt o reacție recentă, ci rezultatul unei evoluții istorice de peste o sută de ani. Apreciem în mod deosebit efortul autorului de a include în ecuație perspectivele din Manila și alte capitale regionale, oferind o imagine de ansamblu care lipsește multor analize de securitate.

Această ediție publicată de Oxford University Press reprezintă o alternativă solidă la The South China Sea Maritime Dispute de Leszek Buszynski pentru cursurile de studii strategice, având avantajul unei focalizări specifice pe mecanismele de alianță americane și pe fundamentele juridice ale libertății de navigație. Dacă lucrările anterioare ale lui Poling, precum Building a More Robust U.S.-Philippines Alliance sau rapoartele sale pentru CSIS, se concentrau pe aspecte punctuale de politică externă și arbitraj internațional, On Dangerous Ground sintetizează aceste teme într-o narațiune istorică și politică vastă. Ritmul este unul analitic, dar accesibil, reușind să explice de ce această cale navigabilă a devenit „cel mai periculos teren” al secolului XXI prin prisma angajamentelor de lungă durată ale Washingtonului față de dreptul maritim internațional.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte studenților și profesioniștilor din domeniul relațiilor internaționale care doresc să înțeleagă rădăcinile istorice ale tensiunilor din Marea Chinei de Sud. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care alianțele strategice, în special cea cu Filipine, dictează politica externă a SUA. Este o resursă esențială pentru a decoda mutările strategice ale Chinei și răspunsul american dincolo de retorica de moment.

Descriere

A robust yet accessible history of US involvement in the world's most dangerous waterway, and a guide for what to do about it.Lamentations that the United States is "losing" the South China Sea to China are now common. China has rapidly militarized islands and reefs, projects power across the disputed waterway, and freely harasses US allies and partners. The US has been unable to halt these processes or convince Beijing to respect the rights of smaller neighbors. But what exactly would "losing" mean? In On Dangerous Ground, Gregory B. Poling evaluates US interests in the world's most complex and dangerous maritime disputes by examining more than a century of American involvement in the South China Sea. He focuses on how the disputes there intersected and eventually intertwined with the longstanding US commitment to freedom of the seas and its evolving alliance network in Asia. He shows that these abiding national interests--defense of maritime rights and commitment to allies, particularly the Philippines--have repeatedly pulled US attention to the South China Sea. Understanding how and why is critical if the US and its allies hope to chart a course through the increasingly fraught disputes, while facing a more assertive, more capable, and far less compromising China. With an emphasis on decisions made not just in Washington and Beijing, but also in Manila and other Southeast Asian capitals, On Dangerous Ground seeks to correct the record and balance the China-centric narrative that has come to dominate the issue. It not only provides the most comprehensive account yet of America's history in the South China Sea, but it also demonstrates how that history should inform US national security policy in one of the most important waterways in the world.

Recenzii

In this clear, well-written account, Poling (Center for Strategic and International Studies) examines the recent history of the United States in the South China Sea, and argues against the narrative that the US has already lost the region to China.
The book provides a very illuminating and useful account of the discussions, arguments, and occasional public shouting matches over the meaning of the Mutual Defence Treaty between the US and the Philippines.
Poling's book provides an interesting historical read and an essential text for understanding a key zone of international conflict.
Greg Poling has written a book that anyone serious about understanding the background, status and implications of the South China Sea dispute will need to read carefully and retain for further reference.
This is a fundamental book for understanding one of the most salient issues roiling relations between China, its neighbors to the south and east, and the United States.
Excellent, timely, and needed. A must-read if you care about the South China Sea—its history, why it matters, and how the U.S. and the PRC could come to blows over it.
Gregory Poling's in-depth, incisive, masterful and comprehensive historical analysis of the evolving interests of various parties in the South China Sea especially the United States are truly amazing. The book is a must-read for all foreign policy-makers, practitioners, decision-makers, geo-political analysts, and students who are engaged, learning and trying to understand the complex South China Sea.
In this lively, lucid, and deeply researched book, Poling has written the definitive account of how the United States became involved in the South China Sea and how its policy has evolved over the past century. Anyone interested in the past, present, or future of these disputed waters should read this book— a terrific contribution to the literature.
On Dangerous Ground offers a valuable and timely corrective to the common tendency to view strife in this vital waterway solely in terms of the great powers...powerful and well-informed study of the last century of geopolitical struggle in the maritime heart of the region.
Gregory Poling has combed through archives to produce a valuable history of growing conflict over the body of water that not only contains seafood and undersea oil and minerals but is a vital line of communications. His research has unearthed many new insights that place the evolving US policy in a new light.
