Scholars and policymakers alike increasingly see the Asia-Pacific region as the center of twenty-first-century international affairs. Joanne Wallis and Andrew Carr have gathered an international roster of security studies scholars to produce a core textbook suitable for use by undergraduate and masters students. Merging a strong theoretical component with state-of-the-art scholarship, Asia-Pacific Security examines the region's key players and security challenges, as well as a spectrum of proposed solutions for improving regional stability. |
| Synopsis: |
This new textbook gathers an international roster of top security studies scholars to provide an overview of Asia-Pacific's international relations and pressing contemporary security issues. It is a suitable introduction for undergraduate and masters students' use in international relations and security studies courses. Merging a strong theoretical component with rich contemporary and historical empirical examples, Asia-Pacific Security examines the region's key players and challenges as well as a spectrum of proposed solutions for improving regional stability. Major topics include in-depth looks at the United States' relationship with China; Security concerns presented by small and microstates, the region's largest group of nations; threats posed by terrorism and insurgency; the region's accelerating arms race and the potential for an Asian war; the possible roles of multilateralism, security communities, and human security as part of solutions to regional problems. |
