Maritime Power in the China Seas: Capabilities and Rationale (1994) By Dirk Sherwood
 
Maritime Security in Southeast Asia in general and the South China Sea in particular is an issue that has taken on increased importance in recent years as a result of the convergence of two main factors. The first is the added importance of maritime resources and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) as a result of the Third United Nation's Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Second, maritime security issues have gained in importance as the role of maritime forces moves from support for the domestic regime to protecting the state from external threats and non-traditional threats such as piracy, drugs, illegal migration, and terrorism. These factors have converged over the territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
