Abstract

Fueled by heated rhetoric, mutual distrust, perceptions and misperceptions, and nationalism, the SCS disputes have become the most extensively discussed subject on security challenges in Southeast Asia. Yet there are blindspots in the broader discussion, where closer scrutiny is wanting, and misplaced assumptions hold. Four stand out: (1) the identity of the disputants; (2) the possibility of open armed hostilities; (3) the US role; and (4) the place of international law in the search for a resolution. While these distortions by no means constitute the dominant view of the disputes, they are prevalent enough to warrant closer scrutiny.
