Not since the end of the Cold War has there been such a high level of military activity and tension in the South China Sea.

How has this localized and, all things considered, minor conflict in the aftermath of the Second World War evolved into a strategic conflict of global proportions today? What efforts have been made, or can be suggested, to resolve it? What role is played by the USA and China, Vietnam and the Philippines, ASEAN, Europe and France? What has been the impact of the pandemic? The war in Ukraine and the Taiwan crisis?

One of the aims of this book, inspired by a Franco-Vietnamese colloquium, is precisely to provide some up-to-date answers by crossing geographical and disciplinary horizons, examining the conflict through the prism of soft power - history, including the long term, law, culture, communication, economics, science and ecology. These fields are not only the natural extension of the hard power invested by the parties to this sovereignty conflict. They also provide the key to its resolution.

Through its comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, this scientifically militant book underlines the imperative need for transnational and international cooperation in fields that already exist, but also need to be invented or reinvented.
