在南海地區不但存在著中國與部份東南亞國家之間的島礁主權與海洋權利爭端問題，也存在著崛起中的中國以及欲維持傳統優勢地位的美國互相競爭的問題。美國與中國在此區域的競爭出自於競爭國際權力結構優勢而生的競爭意識。然而，也因為各自所構成的國際權力結構限制，使得競爭的同時避免直接軍事衝突仍是美國與中國兩國目前的策略利益，因此兩國在此區域的競爭關係中，有了為避免雙方直接衝突、並在美中雙方架構和包含東南亞國家的多邊架構中尋求互相合作的共同基礎。因此，美中關係目前在南海區域呈現出結構現實主義式的競合並存關係。

本研究發現美中兩強權的競爭以強化各自在南海區域和其周邊的經濟、政治、武裝力量的存在、以及和東南亞國家的合作，以限制對方影響力的方式呈現。同時，美國與中國也在這個競爭方式的基礎上，透過使用自由制度主義途徑或說辭尋求互相合作；其目的是創造出共同利益的想像以試圖緩和雙方關係、並以追求共同利益來約束對方的行為。兩國也兼以使用建構主義式語言定義本國與對方國的身份認同，以競爭區域競合資格和競爭雙方互動的模式。美國與中國在南海的互動策略因而在結構現實主義的思維下，發展出多元化的競合途徑。

本文評估儘管因競逐權力結構優勢而驅動著美國與中國在南海區域的競爭關係，但美中關係未來在此區域的互動發展，仍受兩國所構成的國際結構的互相制約，使得雙方為求避免直接衝突而追求互相交流與合作，成為雙邊行為的穩定力量。但美中兩國也因為在國際與區域多邊法規競爭中，易受到國家行為者眾多而使管理競爭的難度增加，使得未來美國與中國在此區域的關係，將在主要由兩國所構成的國際結構下所趨動的互相競爭與合作中，受到多邊法規競爭管理不易的影響，而呈現較偏向衝突與競爭的競合關係。

In the region of the South China Sea there lie the issue of the disputes among China and parts of the Southeast Asian nations over the sovereignty of the island features and maritime rights, and the issue of the competition between the rising China and the traditionally-leveraged U.S. The competition between the two great powers derives from their mentality to compete in the international structure of power distribution. However, it is also the international power structure constructed by the two great powers limits the choices of behavior of them, so that the U.S and China avoid the direct conflict conducted by the armed forces as they compete for the power in the region of South China Sea, and seek the opportunity to cooperate via bilateral mechanism between the U.S. and China, and via multilateral mechanisms which are participated by the regional states. The U.S.-China relation in the region is, then, a structural realistic relation.

The article finds, in their structural realistic relation, the U.S. and China have competed with each other by strengthening the economic, political, and military presence of their own around the region of South China Sea, in order to limit the influence of each other. Meantime, on the foundation of their competition, the two great powers have cooperated, and sought to cooperate, with each other, via the approach and rhetoric of liberal institution, in order to shape the imagination of mutual interest, soften the mutual tension, and seek to limit the behavior of each other. The U.S. and China have also used the constructivist language to identify itself and each other, in order to compete for the qualification for regional competition and for the model of interaction. Thus, the strategy of the U.S. and China to interaction, although deriving from structural realist mentality, has been led to multifaceted approaches of competition and cooperation.

The article accesses that, albeit the U.S. and China compete for the leverage in the international power structure, the international power structure per se constructed by the U.S. and China still stabilizes the behavior of the two great powers. However, the competition and cooperation between the U.S. and China in the field of multilateral institutions might undergo the difficulties to manage the competition among the state actors involving the institutions, and so there is the potential that the competition and cooperation between the U.S. and China in the South China Sea would incline to more conflict and competition.
