The U.S. Studies on the South China Sea Issues in its Philippines Policies in the Colonial Period(1898-1945)

美国是南海问题最重要的区域外影响因素。1898年的美西《巴黎条约》、1900年的美西《华盛顿条约》,以及1930年的《美英协定》,都明确规定了菲律宾的领土界限范围,南沙群岛根本不在菲领土范围之内。本文以殖民时期美国对菲律宾政策中的南海问题为研究对象,以赴美国国家档案馆、国会图书馆查找的官方解密档案资料为依据,辅之以现有的研究成果,叙述、分析并论证了南沙群岛属中国的历史法理依据,维护中国的领土主权和海洋权益,并由此服务于我国维海维权的政策实践。
