Abstract

South China Sea; a significant marine zone, is specialized in marine biodiversity and unknown hydrocarbon resources, and it plays a critical role in global trade as a third of all shipping is on its routes. In the central point exists the sophisticated geopolitical war in meeting sovereignty, power, and resource competition. The strategic position of the South China Sea has seen overlapping territorial claims by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, each citing, respectively, though legal, geopolitical, and historical justifications. With stakes higher than such matters test relations within the region, they have far-reaching implications for international maritime law and threat dynamics. In the face of such uncertainty, the Blue Economy opens up yet another new opportunity to put a responsible use of ocean resources. This model promotes the sustainable practices that diminish the misuse of resources and degradation of the environment, and at the same time sustaining a threshold balance between economic growth and environmental management. This concept is backed by other works such as Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) whereby, the environmental management is integrated with approaches of an organization. Green HRM for the sake of the environmental management, embeds the intentions of the Blue Economy and is achieved by creating green performance indices, applying environmentally sensitive policies, and availing knowledge on sustainability. This paper explores the relationship between conflicts in the South China Sea, the Blue Economy, and Green HRM. To this end, it sets out to provide an assessment of the impact of new political dynamics at the global level, in conjunction with changes at technological levels, on the administration of resources with respect to sustainability. Literature studies, data collection, and GIS analysis through this study. Findings highlight the need for cooperative frameworks to coordinate geopolitical, economic, and environmental concerns. It will take creativity and international collaboration to deal with such challenges and negotiate this complex terrain of power, sovereignty, and resource management for the eventual promotion of security and sustainable development in this strategically important area.
