This study aims to outline the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation
(ASEAN) regarding the resolution of the dispute in the South China Sea and we
aim to clarify the reasons that prevented ASEAN to handle the dispute in a more
effective way. We also want to analyze the reasons behind China’s foreign policy
shift in the 1990’s, starting from inception of its multilateral relationship with
ASEAN. The research considers especially the whole Southeast Asian region. Such
geographic boundaries will essentially expand for a strategic purpose, in order to
include some extra-regional actors involved in the question, such as People's
Republic of China, the United States and Japan. This aspect underlines the dual
dimension of the research, which starts from a regional standpoint and then
undertakes a global reach. We decided to consider the period from 1992, year of
the ASEAN Declaration on the South China Sea, to 2007, year of the ASEAN
Charter. The methodology chosen for this work is framed in a humanistic and
multidisciplinary (historical - economical - sociological) approach, specific of the
area-studies, in which the linguistic and cultural knowledge is an essential element
for the success of the research and the achievement of our purpose. Considering the
goals that we set for the research, qualitative method looks the most appropriate
choice and it allows us to focus on a few, well-defined cases, of which it is possible
to detect the most meticulous details. A significant part of our data consists of
primary sources such as official documents of the associations, official statements
from governments, programmatic documents, declarations and memorandum of
understanding, but also provoked data such as structured interviews, participation
in conferences and think-tanks. The secondary sources consists of monograph and
collective books, scientific journals and newspaper articles, and were collected in
Cagliari, Hamburg and Tokyo.
