Dear Colleagues,
While the U.S. Ambassadors to Southeast Asia were in Washington, DC for chiefs of mission meetings, four of them took part in our interview series, The Dialog. Watch as The Hon. David Adelman, U.S. Ambassador to Singapore; The Hon. Scot Marciel, U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia; The Hon. Harry Thomas, Jr., U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines; and The Hon. David Shear, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, discuss the latest dynamics in U.S.-Southeast Asia relations.
Thank you for your continued interest in our program.
Best wishes,

I have read many articles on the politics and law of the South China Sea, some short and pithy and others long and complex. I now have read what I think of as the best introduction to the issue of conflict, politics and international law in the South China Sea. It is an article titled “Three Disputes and Tree Objectives: China and the South China Sea.” by Peter Dutton, director of the China Maritime Studies Institute at the US Naval War College. Peter has written knowledgeably and well on maritime issues of southeast Asia before. In this article he provides a structure through which he lays out separate strands of the issues and then examines each on its own. While not a short article, I doubt there is a better one from which to gain an understanding of one of the ocean hot spots in which the Law of the Sea Convention plays a critical role in protecting interests of the US and our allies and in providing the mechanisms for avoiding direct maritime conflict. If you want to engage in informed debate on the maritime issues in the South China Sea (SCS), this is a great starting point.
