Tan volume 22 (2016) The titles published in this series are listed at brill.com/ayil <UN> Foundation for the Development of International Law in Asia (dila) dila was established in 1989, at a time when its prime movers believed that economic and political developments in Asia had reached the stage at which they would welcome and benefit substantially from a mechanism to promote and facilitate exchanges among Asian international law scholars that had failed to develop during the colonial era. The Foundation was established to promote: (a) the study of and analysis of topics and issues in the field of international law, in particular from an Asian perspective; (b) the study of, and the dissemination of knowledge of interna- tional law in Asia; and (c) contacts and co-operation between persons and in- stitutions actively dealing with questions of international law relating to Asia. The Foundation is concerned with reporting and analyzing developments in the field of international law relating to the region, and not primarily with efforts to distinguish particular attitudes, policies or practices as predominate- ly or essentially “Asian”. If they are shown to exist, it would be an interesting by-product of the Foundation’s essential function, which is to bring about an exchange of views in the expectation that the process would reveal areas of common interest and concern among the states of Asia, and even more impor- tantly, demonstrate that those areas of interest and concern are, in fact, shared by the international community as a whole. <UN> The Asian Yearbook of International Law Launched in 1991, the Asian Yearbook of International Law is a major inter- nationally-refereed yearbook dedicated to international legal issues as seen primarily from an Asian perspective. It is published by Brill under the auspices of the Foundation for the Development of International Law (dila). When it was launched, the Yearbook was the first publication of its kind, edited by a team of leading international law scholars from across Asia. It pro- vides a forum for the publication of articles in the field of international law and other Asian international legal topics. The objects of the Yearbook are two- fold. First, to promote research, study and writing in the field of international law in Asia; and second, to provide an intellectual platform for the discussion and dissemination of Asian views and practices on contemporary internation- al legal issues. Each volume of the Yearbook contains articles and shorter notes, a section on State Practice, an overview of the Asian states’ participation in multilateral treaties and succinct analysis of recent international legal developments in Asia, as well as book reviews. We believe this publication to be of importance and use to anyone working on international law and in Asian studies. In keeping with dila’s commitment to encourage scholarship in interna- tional law as well as to disseminate such scholarship, its Governing Board de- cided to make the Yearbook open access and is available through Brill Open. <UN> Contents Editorial Note XIII Seokwoo Lee and Hee Eun Lee Peaceful Uses of East Asian Seas: An Editorial Note XX Keyuan Zou Articles Part 1 Maintaining Maritime Peace and the Law of the Sea Peaceful Use of the Sea and the Rule of Law 5 Miyoshi Masahiro Peaceful Proposals and Maritime Cooperation between Mainland China, Japan, and Taiwan in the East China Sea: Progress Made and Challenges Ahead 20 Yann-huei Song The South China Sea Disputes: An Opportunity for the Cross Taiwan Strait Relationship 50 Yen-Chiang Chang Part 2 Peaceful Uses of Marine Resources Management of Fishery Resources: A Starting Point towards Cooperation in the East China Sea 69 Kuan-Hsiung Wang Framework for the Joint Development of Hydrocarbon Resources 86 Robert Beckman and Leonardo Bernard The International Legal Obligations of States in Disputed Maritime Jurisdiction Zones and Prospects for Co-operative Arrangements in the East China Sea Region 109 David M.

I Main Articles As noted by Keyuan Zou, Harris Professor of International Law at Lancashire Law School and Special Issue Editor for this volume of the Yearbook, the main articles of Volume 22 concern the peaceful uses of East Asian seas and were chosen from the papers that were presented at two international conferences held in Hangzhou, China in 2012 and 2013, sponsored by the Centre for Ocean Law and Governance of Zhejiang University. Part I of the main articles focuses upon “Maintaining Maritime Peace and the Law of the Sea” and begins with Masahiro Miyoshi’s article on “Peaceful Use of the Sea and the Rule of Law”. Professor Miyoshi, who is Professor Emeri- tus of International Law at Aichi University and a former General Editor of the Yearbook, asserts that the governing principle for state conduct in their rela- tions with other states should be the rule of law. He then contextualizes the principle in relation to particular law of the sea matters and sovereignty dis- putes in East Asia and concludes by noting that despite states’ desires to have control over the dispute settlement process and preferring arbitration over the International Court of Justice, a lesson can be learned from the Anglo-French Continental Shelf Arbitration of 1977.

Gilliland-Swetland, Chair This thesis seeks to examine archival representations of Chinese in America in collections dating from before and during the Chinese Exclusion Era (1860 – 1943), both in mainstream institutional archives/special collections repositories and in smaller community- based archives. Using critical race theory as methodological framework and an interpretivist case study approach, this exploratory study shows a continued lack for transparency surrounding archival description and archival representations within such collections, an uneven distribution of resources across institutions that collect and preserve materials on early Chinese in America, the difficulties of balancing evolving terminologies and changing archival descriptive standards/technology, and the need for collaboration among bibliographers, catalogers, archivists, historians and activists in creating archival descriptions in collections about the Chinese in America. Due to the paucity of current archival studies scholarship on early Chinese in America, this work intends to highlight the presences (or lack of presence) of Chinese in America in various archives and to enhance awareness of their historical influences and contributions within archival records.

  • JOINT DEVELOPMENT in the GULF of THAILAND Nguyen Hong Thao
    Articles Section 79 JOINT DEVELOPMENT IN THE GULF OF THAILAND Nguyen Hong Thao INTRODUCTION The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) came into force on 16 November 1994. The Convention created a new juridical order for the sea with a bearing on the partition of natural resources. The 21st century will continue to be a century of maritime delimitation settlement. More than 400 maritime boundaries must be defined, of which only one third have been settled by bilateral agreements or 1 The South China Sea by jurisprudence. The South China Sea, hosting as it does 20 disputes, may be is…one of the ‘hot’ viewed as one of the ‘hot’ regions in the world in terms of overlapping maritime regions in the world claims. in terms of overlapping The Gulf of Thailand, and the South China Sea as a whole, is characterised by a slow maritime claims. pace in maritime boundary delimitation. This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, broad geopolitical disagreements have hampered countries from reaching swift agreements. Secondly, the region has been affected profoundly by the colonial experience and problems exist over the interpretation of certain colonial treaties. For example, Cambodia and Thailand disagree over the interpretation of the France-Thai treaty of 1907 while Vietnam and Cambodia do not share the same view on the role of the Brevié line in maritime delimitation negotiations.2 Thirdly, there are many islands and islets in the region which have raised difficulties in relation to maritime jurisdiction. If maritime disputes in Asia generally tend to focus on the issue of island sovereignty,3 the maritime disputes in the Gulf of Thailand deal principally with the question of the effect of islands on delimitation.4 Delimitation in the Delimitation in the Gulf has not proved easy.

The author shows that inter-province dependencies have increased after 1985, and the physical infrastructure investment is the most important factor. In addition, The expansion of consumption increases the economic autonomy of provinces and a long period of time is required to achieve market integration. Key words: market integration, inter-province dependencies, external de- pendence rate Introduction This paper investigates the changes in the inter-province freight flows in China and the changes in inter-province dependencies for the period 1978-97. The primary goal is to examine the effect of economic growth and infrastructure development on the interdependencies be- tween provinces. The political divisions of China consist of 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 4 municipalities administered centrally. In the following pages, the concept of 'province' is limited to the above 32 regions. Market integration within province or intra-province integra- tion will not be discussed in this paper.

Conclusion and Implication for currency adjustment 1. Foreword Geographical concentration of economic activity is a phenomenon observed not only in industrialized countries of North America or the integrated Europe, but also in the fast-developing East Asian region. Few would argue against the statement that the center of global economic activities, in particular innovation activities, is North America, especially the United States. The United States is in an overwhelming economic position within the American continent, but once one looks within the country, its economic activities are concentrated around a few limited regions, such as part of the East Coast and part of the West Coast, among others. In Europe, a region called “banana”, consisting of western Germany, the Benelux, north-eastern France and South-eastern part of the United Kingdom, has only a seven percent share of EU’s surface area, but has one third of the population producing half of the GDP of EU.

  • Establishment and Solidification
    Communication and Exploration Foreword Human communities have always been fascinated by the past, using the information gained from elders, the landscape, ancient sites and objects to plan for the future. More or less consciously, innovation is often based on the knowledge we have inherited from earlier genera- tions. Such knowledge is not only a variety of technical skills and tradi- tional savoir-faire, but also a range of behaviours: uses and reciprocities, covenants and unwritten rules, mutual exchanges and informal rela- tionships that can be defined as “social capital”. These assets may be regarded as trivial, and may even be disregarded when things work well, but can be an important resource in a crisis. The central role which heritage can play in order to enhance and pre- serve this particular kind of wealth is increasingly recognised. Today’s public policies value heritage and culture, they are no longer simply regarded as resources used only for entertainment. Ecomuseum policies and practices, which embody both cultural and local development initiatives, are a prominent example of this new trend. Some thirty years after the first ecomuseum projects were initiated, they now operate in every corner of the world. Some indication of the strength of the ecomuseum movement was demonstrated at the Com- munication and Exploration Conference held in Guizhou, China. More than a hundred scholars and practitioners from fifteen countries on the five continents met in 2005 to talk together and share ideas and ex- periences. The themes discussed indicated the very real challenges facing contemporary society, and highlighted the connections between history, memory and innovation.

Espina Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Corresponding author: Ana Placida D. Espina E-mail: [email protected] Ritsumeikan Center for Asia Pacific Studies (RCAPS) Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) URL: http://www.apu.ac.jp/rcaps/ RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND PROSPECTS FOR JOINT DEVELOPMENT Ana Placida D. Espina Introduction The South China Sea issue is, once again, in the forefront of international security concerns. Scholarly studies, policy/security analyses and media coverage on the issue have recently abound. The re-emergence of the South China Sea issue in the limelight following a relative tranquility as a result of the claimant countries’ agreement on a declaration of the conduct of parties in the South China Sea is attributed to various recent developments in the region. But, three critical developments may be the primary drivers to change what has been so far the status quo in the South China Sea, that is, the lack of a resolution of the dispute or of any practical arrangement that could serve as interim measure pending the resolution of the dispute. This paper assesses the prospect for joint development in the South China Sea taking into consideration three recent developments in the region: (1) China’s fast increasing energy needs; (2) China’s rapid naval modernization; and (3) the United States’ involvement in the South China Sea issue. First, it provides an overview of the dispute in the South China Sea and the mechanisms to resolve the dispute.
