This seven-chapter book examines the background to and consequences of the disputed occupation of Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands group of the South China Sea (SCS) by the People's Republic of China (PRC), from the mid-1990s to the present day. Although Mischief Reef has received significant media attention and has been discussed in academic journal articles and policy research reports, no books on the topic have appeared since a 30-page publication in 1996. By covering the topic in historical, domestic political, legal, economic, strategic, and geo-political terms, this book not only fills a gap on a particularly important issue with global consequences, but also acts as a follow-on to a previous Palgrave book by this author on another maritime dispute, Socotra Rock. This book will be of interest to journalists, scholars and legal theorists researching the implications of China's rise for maritime disputes in East Asia. Senan Fox is a Lecturer in the School of International Studies, Kanazawa University in Japan, and specializes in East Asia maritime disputes and related issues. With a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland, he has been awarded funding from the University of Tokyo for research on these regional disputes, and more recently from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) for research on China's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea and also the Konosuke Matsushita (Panasonic) Memorial Foundation for research into Sino-Japanese relations and rare-earth elements.

This book is among the most thorough and comprehensive analysis of the causes of religious discrimination to date, complete with detailed illustrations and anecdotes. Jonathan Fox examines the causes of government-based religious discrimination (GRD) against 771 minorities in 183 countries over the course of twenty-five years, while offering possible reasons for why some minorities are discriminated against more than others. Fox illustrates the complexities inherent in the causes of GRD, which can emerge from secular ideologies, religious monopolies, anti-cult policies, security concerns and more. Western democracies tend to discriminate more than Christian-majority countries in the developing world, whether they are democratic or not. While the causes of GRD are ubiquitous, they play out in vastly different ways across world regions and religious traditions. This book serves as a method for better understanding this particular form of discrimiation, so that we may have the tools to better combat it and foster compassion across people of different religions and cultures.
