India,” strives to understand the changing dynamics of international relations in the
21st Century. Due to the continuously growing global energy demands and maritime
security concerns, and their onward impact on economic and diplomatic relations,
all the major powers are trying to gain a foothold in a number of geographically and
geologically critical regions across the world. The South China Sea is one such region
that has been identified as a key strategic location due to its capacity to meet both
security concerns and energy demands. China’s aggressive claims over strategically
significant islands in this region, has come to influence the associated political dynamics
and role of the extra-regional powers.
The research conducted was both deductive and inductive, employing both
quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis. Statistics, maps and diagrams have
been used to add credence to the basic premise of the study, which is to understand the
geopolitical and geostrategic importance of the South China Sea. However, qualitative
examination of the nation states’ behaviour and response was given more emphasis in the
study. The data for the research was taken from both primary and secondary sources.
One of the major findings is that China’s proportional growth in economy as well
as military strength is creating an insecure environment in the region. Also, the national
security interests of the littoral states and other major powers are at stake due to China’s
assertive stand. Prolonged escalation of these problems will have an impact on the
peace and stability of the whole region, and can have global implications. The need of
the hour is to establish a multilateral regional organisation, where the United States
and other extra-regional powers which are indirectly involved in the South China Sea
dispute now, become observers and the issue is brought on the table for negotiations at
the international level.
