Rapid economic development and population growth throughout the entire Asia-Pacific region has resulted in an increasing number of problems associated with the environment. This is particularly so for countries in the South China Sea region where environmental degradation is now both large-scale and comprehensive. Two initiatives have been undertaken concerning international cooperation in the region. First, multilateral, informal meetings have taken place annually since 1990 under the title ‘Managing potential conflicts in the South China Sea’; second, an attempt has been made by the littoral countries of the region to establish an environmental action programme for the South China Sea. This has been made in conjunction with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). This paper discusses the outlook for regime-building efforts in the South China Sea region.
