Abstract

The South China Sea (SCS) is one of the busiest maritime area in the world. In the SCS, there are a number of outstanding non-traditional security issues. After reviewing perspectives of Vietnam on non-traditional security issues, the article focuses on newly emerging issues, such as maritime security, freedom of navigation, marine environment and resources exploitation in the SCS. The article argues that the main factor making the situation more complicated is China due to its territorial and resource ambitions. However, when it comes to the SCS issue, it is not only about differences, disputes, and complicated developments, but also about cooperation. Although the benefits are diverse, efforts to build confidence and promote cooperation between countries should be recognized. Among the disputing parties, Vietnam always seeks to resolve the issues as soon as possible with the most actively proposed idea called the model of cooperation for mutual development.
