The interdependent Eurasia and the problems of the South China Sea

ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2015, №28, 35-50

 
Annotation: Until recently the success of the attempts to resolve the problems of the South China Sea had undermined the misbalance between it and instruments to maintain it in the controlled framework. The growing global importance of the problem had not been accompanied by adequate new approaches to its regulation, still being of regional nature. The formation of a consolidated Eurasia where the idea of growing regional interconnection will evolve could provide a chance to remove the misbalance. And the prospects of AСЕАН, the SCO and the EAEC cooperation have the potential to become a means to correct the shortcomings of previous approaches to the problem of the South China Sea and will facilitate its evolution in a peaceful non-confrontational manner.
