520			_aOffers a guide to understanding the evolution of maritime territorial disputes in East Asia, exploring their legal, political-security and economic dimensions against the backdrop of a brewing Sino-American struggle for hegemony. Heydarian shows how the pivotal relationship between the USA and China has been central to prosperity and stability in the Asia-Pacific. He also examines the ways that 'small' and 'middle' powers have shaped the trajectory of tensions in the region--tensions which could ignite an international war and re-configure the global order. --From publisher description.
