Maritime challenges are increasingly at the center of Asia-Pacific regional security concerns, particularly in the South and East China seas. However, for all of the recent focus on tensions over maritime and territorial disputes in North and Southeast Asia, little attention has been paid to the underlying conflicts and challenges of “bordering” the sea.
This seminar brings together leading researchers on border studies and experts on the perspectives of the United States and China and their approaches to maintaining managing maritime border issues in the Asia Pacific. The seminar will begin with a brief introduction of the Border Regions in Transition (BRIT) initiative.
