Abstract
The South China Sea is among Southeast Asia's potential hot spots, and any turmoil in the area can cause serious security implications for the region. Such a disorder would also have global consequences. Territorial disputes involve many nations: Brunei, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Moreover, the situation influences such countries as Japan, South Korea and the United States of America both militarily and economically. The South China Sea is impor¬tant because of geostrategic location, natural resources and rich fisheries. The article describes main territorial disputes including: Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands and Senkaku Islands, which do not seem to be solved in any near-term period. At present all the claimants are expressing strong preference to solve the disputes peacefully, but in the past navy force was used before to enforce or expand national rights. So, it cannot be excluded that they could be employed again. The potential for conflict is still probable and could escalate very quickly affecting overall global security.
