The South China Sea Security Dilemma after Post Cold War Era-From the Neo-liberalism Perspective / 冷戰後南海安全困境之研究-新自由主義之觀點

碩士 / 國防大學政治作戰學院 / 政治研究所 / 99 / While Soviet Union collapsed, the Berlin Wall fell and Poland political reformed after 1989s, a series of domino callapses caused the so-called “Su Dongpo Effects”. Thus, the bipolar Cold War ended up, the post-Cold War era shaped the new 21 century international order. Multi-polar replaced bi-polar international system, regional cooperation replaced ideology condition in the post Cold War era. While high politics gradually transited to low politics, U.S. withdrawaled from Southeast Asia, a sudden power vacuum emerged. And facing the P.R.C.’s rise, the South China Sea regional states faced the security dilemmas in the international condition. Several potential conflict crisis became the fuse of this region, especially the South China Sea geo-strategic, development of resourses, and the sovereignty dispute.
According to the study of international relations after post Cold War, the neo-liberalism approach was adopted in this thesis. We adopted Robert O. Keohane & Joseph S. Nye inter-dependence theory framework, try to explain the South China Sea security dilemmas between U.S. and P.R.C. relations. In the context of interdependence cooperation, national interactions were based on mutual existing interdependences. While U.S and P.R.C. faced complex interests, regional conflicts in South China Sea, and Taiwan’s geo-political position at the fortress in this region, “International Regimes” may be one of these cooperation options in order to solve South China Sea security dilemmas.
As one of the South China Sea secutiy dilemmas studies, we try to adopt “Internaitonal Regimes” theory instead of the traditional realism theory. Examine the relationships between U.S. P.R.C. and ASEAN mutual interactions. Whether the supremacy of traditional power still exist in the South China Sea after post Cold War era? If yes, whether South China Sea countries based on the balance of power will fall into the “Prisoner’s Dilemmas”. However, South China Sea security condition deescalated after the Cold War, issues became smoother, sporadic conflicts remained at sea, and several international cooperation ways were adopted to solve regional issues. The South China Sea moved into a new milestone, especially the signature of “Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea”and “Treaty on Amity and Cooperation”.
Based on the new wave of South China Sea situation expected at this thesis, we hope to adopt “International Regimes” theory to examine the explaination and predition of this theory. Whether in addition to the balance of power, security dilemmas, hegemonic stability, security complexity…we hope to adopt “International Regimes” theory to explore a new explanation in the South China Sea.
