随着渔业事件成为对南海和平与稳定的主要威胁，更好地了解这些事件的根本原因变得重要。主流媒体和大量学术文献将这些捕鱼事件以及中国渔民在南中国海的日益增多归因于中国的战略和政治动机，声称这些渔民实际上是捕鱼民兵。通过重新审视流行的渔民民兵叙事，本文认为，更广泛的经济和社会因素在中国国内的工作，国际和地区的场景比单纯地观察中国的渔民民兵孤立的发展所描绘的画面更为复杂。这篇文章还指出，南中国海的渔业争端已经严重安全化，对这些沃茨正在进行的领土和管辖权争端产生了深远的影响。
With fishery incidents emerging as a major threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea, a better understanding of the underlying causes of these incidents becomes important. Mainstream media, and a substantial body of academic literature, attribute these fishing incidents, and the growing presence of Chinese fishermen in the South China Sea, to China's strategic and political motives, claiming that these fishermen are actually fishing militia. Through revisiting the prevailing fishing militia narrative, this article argues that much wider economic and social factors are at work domestically in China, and that the international and regional scenes are more complex than the picture painted by purely viewing developments with China's fishing militia in isolation. This article also makes the case that fishing disputes in the South China Sea have been heavily securitized with profound implications for the ongoing territorial and jurisdictional disputes in those waters.
