The First Edition of WPS Quarterly Is Now Available

Manila, Philippines — The first edition of WPS Quarterly is out! WPS Quarterly is a new publication that brings together timely, accessible, and policy-relevant analysis on the West Philippine Sea, the South China Sea, and wider maritime Asia.

More than a collection of essays, WPS Quarterly aggregates key events, incidents, and policy developments in the South China Sea over the preceding three months. It is designed as a practical resource for scholars, experts, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to track emerging patterns, make sense of fast-moving developments, and support more data-driven research and policymaking.

The inaugural issue examines the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Arbitral Award, China’s intensifying illegal presence around Scarborough Shoal, and other major developments shaping the region’s maritime security landscape.

It also features perspectives from leading experts across the Indo-Pacific, providing deeper insight into the strategic, legal, and political challenges confronting the region.
