As technological development and diffusion have greatly increased the resources states can recover from maritime space, the stakes of these conflicts have grown. Nowhere is this clearer than in East Asia. This book examines how technological change and diffusion impact East Asian maritime conflicts, and approaches for conflict management and resolution.

This book presents an insightful and timely exploration of the intricate dynamics shaping maritime spaces in East Asia. There have been the escalating stakes in maritime conflicts due to rapid technological advancement and diffusion, underscored by China's rise as a global superpower. The volume adeptly captures how advancements in technology are influencing territorial disputes and the geopolitical landscape from the perspectives of security. The chapters, contributed by distinguished authors from diverse fields and countries, skillfully intertwine theoretical frameworks like realism, constructivism, and neoliberal institutionalism, providing a multidimensional perspective on the issues. Additionally, the book delves into the political and environmental ramifications of emerging technologies, including unmanned vehicles, satellite-directed fishing fleets, and deep offshore wind power. It is a crucial read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of maritime conflicts in East Asia and their broader global implications.
—Yurika Ishii, Associate Professor, National Defense Academy of Japan.
At a time when the oceans are increasingly recognised as being vital yet also vulnerable as marine environments, habitats and biodiversity are threatened by diverse new activities and more intense exploitation, this volume could not be more timely. The contributions to the book critically engage with a range of increasingly urgent issues that are highly likely to impact on the hitherto intractable maritime conflicts in East Asia. In tackling the way in which new and emerging technologies once facilitate fresh activities in the oceans as well as offering enhanced means for surveillance and enforcement offshore, insights are provided on a range of vitally important issue areas from seabed mining to marine robotics and autonomous vehicles to the growth of offshore renewable technologies. All of these developments are pertinent to the managing disputed East Asian waters where the new technologies have the potential to both assist in helping to deliver good ocean governance to these contested ocean spaces or act as flashpoints for future conflict. This edited collection brings together an excellent group of scholars from both within and beyond East Asia who offer multi-disciplinary perspectives in keeping with the aim of the project from which the volume sprang to reach across disciplinary boundaries and connect perspectives from natural sciences and engineering to social sciences and policy.

The East Asian seas are an area of intensifying security and environmental concern as technological developments expand the potential for marine resource extraction and offshore energy production and climate change alters the accessibility of the Arctic. In a region with many contested territorial claims, the potential for heightened maritime conflict and environmental degradation cannot be ignored. This volume brings together leading experts to examine the potentials for maritime conflict and cooperation in a region where historical legacies continue to cast long shadows and geopolitical rivalries appear to be intensifying. I can highly recommend this book to scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
—Miranda A. Schreurs, Professor of Environment and Climate Policy, Technical University of Munich.
