The task of avoiding in the oceans - the 'last frontier' of our planet - the claims and rivalries that have caused endless conflict on land, has thrusted the 'ocean issues' increasingly into the forefrunt of international affairs. This book examines aspects of the interrelationship of diverse interests in the seas of Southeast Asia while suggesting scope for cooperative developments that might not only benefit the region but also have wider application in the emerging multipolar world.
