碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 政治學研究所 / 106 / The purpose of this study is to target on the U.S. Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOP) since 1979 and on whether it has been changed fundamentally or strategically under President Barack Obama’s administration. As China’s construction of artificial islands and militarization activities in recent years that has raised the tension in the South China Sea, the United States keeps on conducting FONOPs to challenge the excessive maritime claims by the countries in the area to protect the right of freedom of navigation.
Since 2015, the challenges to the claimants under FONOP in South China Sea has become more open, frequent, and precise. In view of China’s changing the status quo in the South China Sea, the purposes of the U.S. FONOPs to the public are as follows: first, to protect the right of freedom of navigation under international law; second, to maintain the U.S. leadership in the area; third, to provide security guarantee to allies in the area. As those four FONOPs challenged either the biggest or potentially militarized maritime features in the Spratlys and Paracels, it showed a clear strategic implication of the US South China Sea policy.
