Abstract
El mar de China meridional es de suma importancia geopolítica, pero está marcado
por disputas territoriales y una intensa competencia por recursos pesqueros. la pesca ilegal y la
militarización de las flotas, especialmente por china, agravan la sobreexplotación y generan
inestabilidad. la UE como potencia normativa, no puede enfrentar directamente las actividades
navales chinas, pero tiene el potencial de desempeñar un papel crucial al vincular la seguridad
marítima con la gobernanza sostenible de los océanos. esto implica unificar la fragmentada
gobernanza regional, apoyar a los estados ribereños en la adopción de normativas internacionales y
fortalecer su capacidad. aunque la UE carece de una presencia naval significativa, su compromiso
con el multilateralismo, la transparencia y el respeto por el derecho internacional del mar ofrece
soluciones prácticas para los desafíos regionales. ello refuerza su influencia y credibilidad,
contribuyendo a su aspiración de autonomía geoestratégica más allá de su rol como factor económico
The South China sea is of paramount geopolitical importance, yet it is marked by territorial disputes and intense competition for fishing resources. illegal fishing and the militarization of fleets, particularly by china, exacerbate overexploitation and create instability. the EU, as a normative power, cannot directly confront chinese naval activities. However, it has the potential to play a crucial role by linking maritime security with sustainable ocean governance. this entails consolidating the region’s fragmented governance structures, providing support to coastal states in adopting international norms, and enhancing their capacity. despite lacking a significant naval presence, the eu’s commitment to multilateralism, transparency, and respect for international maritime law offers practical solutions to regional challenges. this enhances its influence and credibility, contributing to its aspiration for geostrategic autonomy beyond its role as an economic actor
