Ultimately, the book argues that China has sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and the surrounding waters, either on the basis of historical claims or modern realities. In recent years, the Nansha disputes have attracted considerable attention. Far from being resolved, they have instead become even more heated. The only reasonable way to solve the problem, as argued here, is on the basis of relevant history and legislation. Addressing this highly topical issue, the book also provides an English-speaking audience with access to essential content on the sovereignty, history, and legislation concerning the Nansha Islands Notes "Revised edition of my 'Study on Jurisprudence of the Nansha Islands' a decade ago which became a restricted publication due to multiple concerns of the publisher when it was to bepublished in July, 2003"--Preface Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 11, 2021) Subject Sovereignty. sovereignty.
