I collected numerous academic articles and a small number of books related to ADIZs in general and more specifically to China's November 2013 ADIZ declaration in the East China Sea. I also retrieve international law articles pertaining to the legality of ADIZs and where states with ADIZs (for example not only China but also Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the United States etc.) stand in relation to international norms and protocols. The differences in the specifics of China's ADIZ guidelines versus the US' ADIZ (and where these are positioned or not vis-vis international law and treaties) is an important element of my investigation of China's 2013 ADIZ declaration. Another important aspect of my research has been surveying Chinese, Japanese, and South Korea language documents (governmental, academic, media etc.) (as well as smilier English language documents) in order to understand varying positions on the issue of ADIZ and particularly Chinese perspectives and justifications for their ADIZ declaration in the East China Sea. These documents have revealed a rich array of opinions on the question of how different China's East China Sea ADIZ is to other ADIZs elsewhere in the world. I placed all my readings and writing into a document of considerable volume and am currently editing and polishing this document (while included any new sources I find) so that it is more presentable and possibly ready for publication later.
