Description
Security threats in Asia fast become issues for the rest of the world. This introductory and wide-ranging text on the subject takes a thematic approach to assess how localized security issues - from territorial rivalry to the rise of China - materialize as 'ripple effects' across the whole region.
[T]ackles a huge, multi-faceted and fast-changing topic with aplomb ... This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book, equally useful as an aid for student learning and a prompt to further academic argument' - Ian Hall, Australian Outlook
