  The South China Sea stands today as one of the most sensitive crossroads of the international system – a vital artery for global trade, a strategic reservoir of energy resources, and a pivotal space where economic interests, military power, and international law intersect and collide.
  Through the insights of diplomats, scholars, and experts from Italy and the Philippines, this volume examines the economic, political, and strategic dimensions of the maritime disputes in the Indo-Pacific, revealing how the stakes reach far beyond regional boundaries. From China's military modernisation to the risks facing energy security, from the central role of UNCLOS to the growing engagement of European actors such as Italy, the book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of one of the most critical theatres of the twenty-first century.
  A central truth emerges: the future of the South China Sea will serve as a litmus test for the international order. Upholding freedom of navigation, supporting international law, and fostering cooperation and stability are not merely regional interests, but shared global responsibilities. An essential resource for scholars, diplomats, analysts, and readers seeking to understand how economics, geopolitics, and law converge at the heart of the Indo-Pacific – and how maritime tensions may shape the prosperity of the world.

Each story pulls a new perspective from this long history by examining nearly all angles—from archaeology to ethnography, astronomy, agriculture, and more. These true stories prove to be unexpected, sometimes contrarian and occasionally funny, but always fascinating. Join author and historian C.

  Stand Watie: The Life and Legacy...

  Editors Charles River

  Stand Watie’s life connects the traditional Cherokee homeland in Tennessee and Georgia, the fight within the tribe over leaving for the West or staying on their homeland and trying to resist, and the Trail of Tears. At the same time, his life also includes the ongoing split between mixed-blood and full-blood Cherokee in the Cherokee Nation, and the chaos of Indian Territory during the Civil War.  
  	On the surface, Indian Territory was peaceful and fairly prosperous, but old resentments simmered under the surface. The most dangerous of these was in the Cherokee Nation. Following the Cherokee removal, the leaders of the faction of the tribe that had actually signed the Treaty of New Echota suffered violence. There had been a law that giving away Cherokee land was punishable by death, and several of the leaders who signed the treaty were murdered. Stand Watie was one of the signers, and he barely escaped, but one of his brothers was executed. 
  	The Principal Chief was John Ross. He and his faction managed to retain political control of the Cherokee tribe, but there was lasting enmity between the Watie and Ross factions of the tribe. In a broad sense, the signers of the hated treaty were mixed-blood Cherokee, and the resistance had been led by full-bloods. Stand Watie headed the mixed-blood faction and John Ross the full-blood faction. Ironically, John Ross himself was mixed-blood and Watie was a full-blood, but regardless, this tribal split had important ramifications for the Cherokee in the coming war. 
  	Like the country as a whole, the Cherokee Nation was split over the question of slavery, and with an estimated 100 slaves owned, Watie was the biggest native slaveholder in the region. At the start of the war, Watie was commissioned as a colonel in Confederate service and later as a brigadier general. His 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles Regiment fought more engagements than any other Confederate unit west of the Mississippi River.

  Imperial Rome - From Augustus to...

  The fall of the Roman Republic in the late first century BCE paved the way for a new era, one defined by the leadership of a single man: Augustus. Born Gaius Octavius, he emerged as the heir of Julius Caesar and transformed Rome from a state of political turmoil into a stable empire. His rise to power was marked by strategic alliances, military victories, and significant political reforms that laid the foundation for imperial rule. 
  The aftermath of the Republic’s collapse saw Rome in chaos. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE triggered a power struggle between his supporters and those who sought to restore the old Republic. Octavian, as he was then known, capitalized on his status as Caesar’s adopted son and formed the Second Triumvirate with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus. Together, they pursued and defeated Caesar’s assassins, Brutus and Cassius, at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE. However, tensions among the triumvirs soon escalated. Lepidus was forced into retirement, and Octavian turned against Antony, who had allied himself with Cleopatra of Egypt. Their rivalry culminated in the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, where Octavian’s naval forces decisively defeated Antony and Cleopatra, leading to their eventual suicides. With no remaining challengers, Octavian stood as the unopposed ruler of Rome. 
  Rather than seizing power as a dictator, Octavian carefully crafted his authority to appear as a restoration of Republican values. In 27 BCE, he formally returned power to the Senate, a move that won him widespread support and the honorary title "Augustus." However, this gesture was largely symbolic, as he retained control over the military and key provinces. His governance established the principate, a system in which the emperor ruled under the guise of republican traditions while holding ultimate authority.
