Outline of Research at the Start

Disputes over jurisdiction and maritime entitlements that have important implications for navigational rights persist in the region, despite the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This begs an important question: Why do the domestic maritime regimes of many littoral Southeast Asian states related to freedom of navigation diverge from UNCLOS?

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

1) The Asia Maritime Index Database has been updated with more legal documents and agreements uploaded. The online database will continue to exist and be updated even beyond the period of performance. The author is drafting papers for presentation and publication in 2024/2025 examining the views and policies of Southeast Asian states on the law of the sea, contingencies in the region and great power competition.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.

Reason

Slightly delayed because of COVID19. This project started in 2020.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

This project is wrapping up.

Several field research and interviews in Southeast Asia need to be done. The author will then focus on key findings, drafting several monographs, and improving/promoting the database.
