Public seminar in the Asia Library with Professor Sukawarsini Djelantik, Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR)The South China Sea (SCS) dispute stems from overlapping claims involving China, Taiwan, and four Southeast Asian nations (Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, the Philippines, and Malaysia). These resource-rich waters also occupy a strategic location as a vital international trade route. The complexity of the issue arises from the economic, political, and strategic interests of external parties, as well as struggles for influence and power rivalries. The presentation examines the conflicting parties, and the bilateral and multilateral efforts to resolve the dispute, thereby illustrating the issue's complexity. The discussion also reviews the roles of ASEAN and Indonesia, both of which are expected to serve as a "bridge" to a resolution. The failure to resolve the dispute is partly due to ASEAN’s "consensus" requirement, which hinders the ability to reach a solution. Given the divergent interests among ASEAN member states, one potential measure is to modify the mechanism by adopting a "majority vote" approach to achieve a resolution.
