碩士 / 中興大學 / 國際政治研究所 / 99 / With the sensitive role of geography and long-held political background, there are growing numerous and continuous competitions among coastal states which have territorial and maritime boundary claims to the South China Sea. The arcane exigencies from UNCLOS, in particular the pursuance about coastal states were to make their continental shelf submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf by 2009, intensifies more conflicts of overlapping maritime jurisdiction. As the opening up interest for the political opportunism, regional security, trade routes control, and related marine resources in the South China Sea, these intractable disputes can do more than just result the opportunity to reload the regional powerhood: they has pushed the two central powers in Asia Pacific─China and the US to keep pace with the huge surge in power demand. The South China Sea has yet again showed no sign of letting up.
With various concerns of power, this thesis adds microeconomic perspectives as a causal thinking to explore and analyze changes in the power relationship between China and the US when dealing with the South China Sea issues. This thesis asserts that in the current South China Sea situation, there is an impasse of competition because in any event, neither China nor the US can take the dominate role right away. As coming with the new regional stability, the plight soon makes China and the US proceed on the prospects for cooperating with one another. Beyond the either/or conflict, this thesis also concludes that the sustainable construction of common interest, such as a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, can be a realistically useful means to underpin the long-term cooperation between major powers in the region.
