  • South China Sea Overview
    ‹ Countries South China Sea Last Updated: February 7, 2013 (Notes) full report Overview The South China Sea is a critical world trade route and a potential source of hydrocarbons, particularly natural gas, with competing claims of ownership over the sea and its resources. Stretching from Singapore and the Strait of Malacca in the southwest to the Strait of Taiwan in the northeast, the South China Sea is one of the most important trade routes in the world. The sea is rich in resources and holds significant strategic and political importance. The area includes several hundred small islands, rocks, and reefs, with the majority located in the Paracel and Spratly Island chains. Many of these islands are partially submerged land masses unsuitable for habitation and are little more than shipping hazards. For example, the total land area of the Spratly Islands encompasses less than 3 square miles. Several of the countries bordering the sea declare ownership of the islands to claim the surrounding sea and its resources. The Gulf of Thailand borders the South China Sea, and although technically not part of it, disputes surround ownership of that Gulf and its resources as well. Asia's robust economic growth boosts demand for energy in the region. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects total liquid fuels consumption in Asian countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to rise at an annual growth rate of 2.6 percent, growing from around 20 percent of world consumption in 2008 to over 30 percent of world consumption by 2035. Similarly, non-OECD Asia natural gas consumption grows by 3.9 percent annually, from 10 percent of world gas consumption in 2008 to 19 percent by 2035.

  • Boards Fall Behind in the Drive to Appoint Women Alex Spence: the Times February 6 2012
    Boards fall behind in the drive to appoint women Alex Spence: The Times February 6 2012 Britain's biggest companies will miss a deadline to have a quarter of their boardroom positions filled by women unless more is done to move talented female executives up the corporate ladder, recruiters have warned. As things stand, the target of having 25 per cent of FTSE 100 directorships held by women will be met two years late, in 2017, the search firm Norman Broadbent said. Although the female composition of FTSE 100 boards has risen from 13.6 per cent at the start of last year to almost 15 per cent, the supply of women executives and senior managers remained limited, it said. According to Neil Holmes, a consultant at Norman Broadbent: "Women are appearing on short-lists but the supply on the executive side is still lower than it should be and this requires companies to invest in long-term cultural changes." In a report last year, Lord Davies of Abersoch challenged corporate leaders to cast the net wider in the search for directors and to break their dominance of their boardrooms. Twenty-six per cent of the non-executive directors appointed to FTSE 100 boards last year were women, with 24 per cent in the FTSE 250 and 17 per cent in smaller listed companies. Women still lagged well behind their male counterparts in the top executive jobs at the biggest companies, accounting for 9 per cent of FTSE 100 executive positions last year, Norman Broadbent said. There was also a vast disparity between different industries, with women making up 17 per cent of boards in the health sector at the end of the year.
