Kerjasama India-Vietnam dalam Eksplorasi Minyak sebagai Resistensi atas

Abstract

This research is aimed to found an effective way from India to resist China in the region of South China Sea. The South China Sea itself is a region that can not be separated from the conflict caused by the energy potential. One of the epicenters of conflict is the potential energy contained in the South China Sea. The cruise line is also a major base that makes the South China Sea region as an area of influence in the foreign policy activities of other countries. Escalation of the conflict in the South China Sea started precisely on in 1936 at which time the Government of the Republic of China officially announced its boundary lines, known as "The Nine- Dashed Line". China's actions in the past are evidence that China seeks to strengthen its position as the hegemon in the South China Sea. The country that feel threatened by the dominance of China in the South China Sea region is India. India then attempted to overcome these threats by making Vietnam as a partner in the fight against the hegemony of China in the South China Sea. India with Vietnam embodies resistance against the hegemony of China in the South China Sea by conducting joint oil exploration in areas claimed to belong to China. When referring to the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982 conducted by the Indian cooperation with Vietnam actually has legality internationally.
