The Asia’s maritime domain, including both the Pacific and Indian Oceans, is currently facing a plethora of serious challenges, ranging from maritime and territorial disputes (especially in the South China Sea and East China Sea), competition between superpowers, piracy and armed robbery at sea, the degradation of marine environment, IUU fishing, to sea-level rising. This book allows readers to explore and understand how the scholars in the region examine, conceive, understand, and suggest solutions to these challenges.
