This record describes, and links to a working paper produced through the Resource Management in Asia-Pacific (RMAP) Program based at The Australian National University in Canberra.

This study focuses on the South China Sea because it is an integral ecosystem and a vital international shipping lane. It is also an arena for competing security interests. Countries bordering the South China Sea have been more concerned with maximizing economic growth and ensuring adequate energy supplies than in preserving their common natural resources. They have staked territorial claims to areas with potential oil and natural gas reserves; however, these claims are overlapping and conflicting. While a territorial settlement is unlikely in the short term, other avenues of regional cooperation have emerged, in particular, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) effort to curb smoke haze.
