Cooperation and the value of maritime space -- The collapse of cooperation over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands -- Cooperation on fisheries, 1997-2000 -- Cooperation on marine research activities, 2000-2001 -- Resource development in the East China Sea -- Managing two maritime powers -- Conclusion.
Summary
Sino-Japanese relations have been repeatedly strained by the territorial dispute over a group of small islands, known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and the Diaoyu islands in China. The rich fishing grounds, key shipping lanes, and perhaps especially, potentially rich oil deposits around the islands exacerbate this dispute in a confluence of resource pressures, growing nationalism, and rising military spending in the region. Bridging Troubled Waters reminds us that the tensions over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands are only a part of a long history of both conflict and cooperation in maritime relat.
