碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 國際政治研究所 / 99 / In East Asia, South China Sea, which connects the Northeast Asia and the Southeast Asia, is located at the key position on the sea lines of communication. The surrounding countries also struggle for this area. Meanwhile, the disputes in the SCS are along with sovereignty, economics and geography issues, so the complex situation could not be solved completely in a short term. The contradictions between China and South Eastern Asia countries would most easily evoke further conflicts in this hostile environment. This thesis, therefore, tries to study the South Eastern Asia countries'' responses against China''s SCS strategy.
The significances of SCS, China''s strategies and behaviors would be the first part. Second, the thesis would discuss the roles and influences of non-claimants to claimants'' decisions. Finally, the analysis would focus on the South Eastern Asia countries'' responses via the Balance of Threat Theory, which is provided by Stephen Walt. Those countries are included in Vietnam, which takes the strongest position in this issue, Philippines, which depends on outsiders to balance China, and Malaysia, which chooses bandwagoning policy. The connotations of these three claimants'' SCS strategies toward China are different, although both Vietnam and Philippines take the balancing pathway. This thesis would analyze the reasons of different policies choosing base on four indexes form Balance of Threat Theory with additional inner and outer factors.
