OCTOBER 11, 2018  |  AMTI BRIEF

** Defusing the South China Sea Disputes: A Regional Blueprint (https://amti.csis.org/expert-working-group-scs/)
------------------------------------------------------------

CSIS is pleased to announce the publication of Defusing the South China Sea Disputes: A Regional Blueprint. The report is now available (https://www.csis.org/analysis/defusing-south-china-sea-disputes) to download. To attend the launch and panel discussion at CSIS on Monday, October 15, click here (https://www.csis.org/events/report-launch-defusing-south-china-sea-disputes-regional-blueprint) and register.

CSIS’s expert working group on the South China Sea, which was launched in mid-2017, brings together prominent experts on maritime law, international relations, and the marine environment. The members seek consensus on realistic, actionable steps that claimant states and interested parties could take to boost cooperation and manage tensions at sea. The group has met three times since launching in order to tackle issues that it considers necessary for the successful management of the South China Sea disputes and produce blueprints for a path forward on each. The members believe the three proposed agreements below add up to a robust model for managing the South China Sea disputes, one which would be both legally and politically feasible for all parties. The agreements are collected in the expert working group’s first report, Defusing the South China Sea Disputes: A Regional Blueprint.

The working group is chaired by AMTI director Gregory Poling and includes a diverse set of experts from claimant states and interested countries, including the United States. All members take part in their personal capacities, not as representatives of their home institutions. They are invited to join the group based on their subject matter expertise and ability to reach creative compromises with other members. The group’s membership will continue to expand as it tackles additional topics necessary for the management of the South China Sea disputes.
