SUMMARY:Envisioning a U.S. Strategy of Restraint in the South China Sea and
  Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This summer marked the fifth anniversary of the ruling by a tri
 bunal convened by the U.N. Commission on the Law of the Sea in response to
  a case submitted by the Philippines against the People’s Republic of C
 hina. To note the occasion\, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiter
 ated previous U.S. rhetoric that China was “threatening freedom of navig
 ation” and urged Beijing to "reassure the international community that i
 t is committed to the rules-based maritime order.” But what is the rules
 -based maritime order? How can the United States best work with countries 
 throughout the Indo-Pacific region to strengthen and improve that order? I
 s it possible to work with rather than against China in bolstering the rul
 es-based maritime order\, and if so\, how and in what areas?  To address t
 hese questions\, the Quincy Institute recently published the report\, “P
 romoting Peace and Stability in the Maritime Order Amid China’s Rise\,
 ” authored by Rachel Esplin Odell. Odell traces how China’s maritime r
 ise is impacting its relationship with the United States and with China's 
 neighbors. She analyzes how China has evolved to favor greater freedom of 
 navigation as its own naval and maritime activities have expanded\, even w
 hile it doubles down on its expansive and vague claims in the South China 
 Sea. Faced with these dynamics\, Odell suggests ways the United States can
  craft a strategy of military restraint and diplomatic engagement in the I
 ndo-Pacific that reduces security tensions\, enhances crisis management\, 
 and builds a more inclusive maritime order in the region and beyond.  On O
 ctober 4\, experts on maritime security in the Western Pacific will conven
 e to explore and debate the analysis and recommendations of this report an
 d offer their own ideas for promoting peace and stability at sea. Panelist
 s include Mike M. Mochizuki\, Japan-U.S. Relations Associate Professor of 
 Political Science and International Affairs at the Elliott School of Inter
 national Affairs\, George Washington University\; Bec Strating\, Executive
  Director of La Trobe Asia and Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University\; Gr
 egory Poling\, Senior Fellow for Southeast Asia and Director\, Asia Mariti
 me Transparency Initiative\, Center for Strategic and International Studie
 s\; and Shuxian Luo\, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Foreign Policy 
 program at the Brookings Institution. Michael D. Swaine\, Director of the 
 East Asia Program at the Quincy Institute\, will moderate the discussion.
