Vietnam and the South China Sea

Studies of the escalating tensions and competing claims in the South China Sea overwhelmingly focus on China and its increasingly assertive approach, while the position of the other claimants is overlooked. This book focuses on the attitude of Vietnam towards the South China Sea dispute. It examines the position from a historical perspective, shows how Vietnams position is affected by its wish to maintain good relations with China on a range of issues, and outlines how Vietnam has occasionally made overtures to both the United States and Japan in order to bolster its position, and considered the possibility, so far resisted, of taking China to formal arbitration under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The book concludes by assessing the future prospects for Vietnams position in the dispute.

Do Thanh Hai is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for East Sea Studies, Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam. He has a PhD from the Australian National University, where he was a Prime Ministers Australian Asia Endeavour Awardee.

Security issues have become more prominent in the Asia Pacific region because of the presence of global players, rising great powers, and confident middle powers, which intersect in complicated ways. This series puts forward important new work on key security issues in the region. It embraces the roles of the major actors, their defense policies and postures and their security interaction over the key issues of the region. It includes coverage of the United States, China, Japan, Russia, the Koreas, as well as the middle powers of ASEAN and South Asia. It also covers issues relating to environmental and economic security as well as transnational actors and regional groupings.

I would like to thank Leszek Buszynski for his inspirational supervision and mentorship. He encouraged and guided me through considerable confusion, frustration, and anxiety during my doctoral research and preparation for this book.

I am also intellectually indebted to many scholars who have inspired and supported me since my research idea took shape. Among them are Dang Dinh Quy, Christopher Roberts, Tran Truong Thuy, Carlyle A. Thayer, Nguyen Hong Thao, Nguyen Vu Tung, Tran Viet Thai, Nguyen Hung Son, Hoang Anh Tuan, and Nguyen Thi Lan Anh.

A note of thanks is due to Stephan Frhling, Benjamin Schreer, and Ron Huisken, who were my academic advisers at the Strategic and Defense Studies Centre at the Australian National University, for their valued assistance and critical feedback.

Many thanks go to Ha Anh Tuan, Le Hong Hiep, Kalman Robertson, Scott Bentley, Nguyen Binh Duong, and other friends for their willingness to offer a hand whenever I was in need.

I am very thankful to my parents, Do Hai Van and Ngo Thi Chuc, and my parents-in-law, Duong Van Ket and Nguyen Thi Dinh, for their unconditional love and support. I owe my deepest gratitude to my wife, Duong Thu Trang, for her dedication to and faith in me.

Last but not least, it is important to acknowledge that this study was made possible with the support of the Prime Ministers Australia Asia Endeavour Award, as provided by the Australian government.
