重溫南海爭端的起因：國際海洋法、主權和經濟的分析視角

REVISIT OF THE CAUSES OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE: ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE SEA, SOVEREIGNTY AND ECONOMICS

南海地區曠日持久的衝突是一個沒完沒了的話題，這個話題一天比一天熱。本研究的主要課是國際海洋法領域，但從法律的角度來看，南海問題顯得十分僵化。政治和經濟觀點也是需要理解的重要因素，因為這三個因素是相互關聯的。本文定性地表明，每個聲索國都有其確定該地區聲索的理由和觀點。每個國家在主權聲索賠時至少有三個主要依據。首先是國際海洋法（I-NCLOS）。其次是與國家歷史相關的主權原因。第三個是經濟因素，每個聲稱擁有主權的國家經常掩蓋這個因素。經濟利益沒有明確說明，但可以通過與其聲稱的區域相關的分析和數據來識別。

Under international law, the state has complete authority to explore and utilize the land, sea, and space within its borders. That straightforward explanation clarifies a nation's sovereignty. However, the situation we find ourselves in is significantly different and even more problematic than we had anticipated. Due to the situation's complexity, the state frequently uses war to resolve it, resulting in the loss of human life. According to the theory advanced by eminent experts, including Aristoteles, Plato, John Locke, Socrates, and numerous other state experts and philosophies, the state's goal is to ensure the security and welfare of its society1. Still, this goal is threatened when disputes over international borders arise.
