Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je detaljno analizirati geopolitičke i geostrateške aspekte krize u Južnom kineskom moru. Sjedinjene Američke Države i Kina u ovom sukobu imaju suprotstavljene interese čiji je zajednički nazivnik prevlast nad uskim morskim područjem. Takva prevlast sa sobom nosi povoljan položaj za trgovinu, što utječe na ekonomske prilike oba aktera, zbog čega je ovo pitanje tako značajno objema stranama. Posljedično se to ocrtava na čitav svijet s obzirom na to da o tom prolazu ovisi trećina svjetske trgovine. Ako uzmemo u obzir to da ovaj teritorijalni spor nosi puno veću težinu nego tipične pogranične nesuglasice, nije iznenađujuće što čini geopolitičko žarište i glavnu točku interesa međunarodne zajednice.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the geopolitical and geostrategic aspects of the crisis in the South China Sea. The United States and China have conflicting interests in this region, whose common denominator is the dominance over a narrow maritime area. Such dominance comes with a favorable position for trade, which affects the economic opportunities of both actors, which is why this issue is so important for both sides. Consequently, this is outlined to the whole world, given that a third of the world's trade depends on this passage. If we take into account that this territorial dispute carries much more weight than typical border disputes, it is not surprising that it is a geopolitical focus and a major point of interest for the international community.
