Daftar Isi:
- This paper aims to examine the diplomacy of quasi state in territorial dispute using the case of Taiwan in the South China Sea. The discussion on quasi state is not mainstream in International Relations, and thus its concept and theories are not well developed. With the rise of globalization, however, quasi states have more active presence, many involve in conflicts which resolutions require understanding on quasi state, including the South China Sea Disputes. This paper argues that quasi state suffers from legal and political weaknesses and consequently the diplomacy of quasi state could be examined using theories on the diplomacy of weak states which include multitrack diplomacy to deal with its legal weaknesses and hedging to deal with its political weaknesses. This paper suggests that the diplomacy of Taiwan in the South China Disputes also follows this pattern.
