South China Sea Conference: Panel Discussions Day 2
VIEW EVENT DETAILSAsia: Beyond the Headlines
Complete Conference Overview (including complete videos)
Territorial disputes with respect to the South China Sea have existed for more than a century, but in recent years Asia’s booming economies have become hungrier for already scarce resources. In order to maintain their growth trajectories, countries in the region — primarily Southeast Asian states and China — are asserting their sovereignty over the sea’s energy-rich waters. The dispute is exacerbated by the U.S. pivot to Asia, and the relevance of the area to America’s interests, particularly its importance for regional trade and commerce, fisheries, and energy.
Please join Asia Society for the second day of a two-day conference on the South China Sea territorial dispute. There will be a high-level panel discussion, followed by closing remarks and discussion of practical steps for resolution of the conflict.
