Taylor & Francis The Korean Peninsula and IndoPacific Power
Book SynopsisThis book assesses the strategic linkages that the Korean Peninsula shares with the Indo-Pacific and provides a succinct picture of issues which will shape the trajectory of the Korean Peninsula in the future.This book analyses how critical actors such as the United States, China, Russia and Japan are caught in a tightly balanced power struggle affecting the Korean Peninsula. It shows how these countries are exerting control over the Korean Peninsula while also holding on to their status as critical actors in the broader Indo-Pacific. The prospects of peace, stability and unity in the Korean Peninsula and the impact of this on Indo-Pacific power politics are explored as well as the contending and competing interests in the region. Chapters present country-specific positions and approaches as case studies and review the impact of power politics on stakeholdersâ relationships in the Indo-Pacific. The book also argues that the Korean Peninsula and the issue of denuclearization Trade ReviewThis is a smart and timely contribution on a key dimension of Asia’s geopolitics. Dr. Panda, one of India’s foremost scholars of East Asia, has assembled an excellent group of analysts to probe the place of the Korean Peninsula in a dynamic and fast-changing region. This volume will make for essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary Asia, and in international relations on the whole. - Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director, Asia Program, Woodrow Wilson Centre for International Scholars, Washington DC Brings India back in, on Asia-wide issues where its perspective is very much needed. The editor assembles a fine group of scholars from throughout the continent and beyond. Creative, original theme and high-quality papers.Kent E. Calder, Director, Edwin O. Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies, John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Washington DC.The Korean Peninsula have overlooked the space for many potential regional actors for long. However, the changing power dynamics post the DPRK-US bilateral summits has allowed many regional actors to step in and aim to play different roles in the region. This book fills a very interesting research gap, particularly as the Indo-Pacific region has not been addressed as a third-party actor in the Korean Peninsula sufficiently. Therefore, this book makes a very relevant contribution to a dynamic and potentially unstable region of the world. - Niklas Swanstrom, Director, Institute for Security and Development Policy, Sweden.This is a magnificently comprehensive volume on a topic of vital importance. The diverse chapters are accessible to general readers but will also provide unique insights to experts. Highly recommended. - Richard Weitz, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Political-Military Analysis, Hudson Institute, Washington DCThis volume provides keen insight into the Korean Peninsula's role in shaping Northeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific's emerging dynamics. Through linking peninsula security and diplomatic dynamics to broader geopolitical trends in the Indo-Pacific, the contributors to this volume have demonstrated that the Korean Peninsula is an important stakeholder in contributing to stability, security, and a rules-based order in the region. - Stephen R. Nagy, Senior Associate Professor, International Christian University, Japan, & Distinguished Fellow, Asia-Pacific Foundation, Canada. In his edited volume The Korean Peninsula and Indo-Pacific Power Politics: Status Security at Stake Dr. Jagannath P. Panda has compiled chapters of immediate relevance that are at the same time remarkably diverse in both the geographic spread of focus and authors. The Republic of Korea may remain sceptical about the Indo-Pacific as a construct, however, it is clear from this work that the Indo-Pacific as a region is deeply interested in and important to Korea. - Gordon Flake, CEO, Perth USAsia Centre, The University of Western Australia, Perth[…] the book is a timely and a much-required contribution […] the editor has done an excellent job in bringing together a diverse set of scholars in providing a diverse set of strategic and security issues of the Korean Peninsula and its broader regional implications. This volume is highly recommended for students, scholars and policymakers who are interested in the developments in the security and international affairs in the Korean Peninsula and Indo-Pacific. - Jojin V.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding NATO in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisUnderstanding NATO in the 21st Century enhances existing strategic debates and clarifies thinking as to the direction and scope of NATO's potential evolution in the 21st century.The book seeks to identify the possible contours and trade-offs embedded within a potential third Transatlantic Bargain in the context of a U.S. strategic pivot in a Pacific Century. To that end, it explores the internal adaptation of the Alliance, evaluates the assimilation of NATO''s erstwhile adversaries, and provides a focus on NATO's operational future and insights into the new threats NATO faces and its responses. Each contribution follows a similar broad tripartite structure: an examination of the historical context in which the given issue or topic has evolved; an identification and characterization of key contemporary policy debates and drivers that shape current thinking; and, on that basis, a presentation of possible future strategic pathways or scenarios Trade Review'There is widespread agreement that the world is moving from unipolarity to a multipolar system, in which a handful of great powers will hold sway. What is debated is whether this return to multipolarity will be peaceful. This collection of essays does not give a clear answer, but the authors do provide a useful survey of the geopolitical landscape.' G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs"Herd and Kriendler have assembled a group of experts to produce a study that is both incisive and provocative. Smart and policy-relevant, the book raises tough questions about how NATO needs to adapt to our changing global security environment. A must read for anyone interested in the future of NATO and transatlantic security."-- Andrew A. Michta, Woodrow Wilson Center "This is a serious, original, and provocative work that deserves to be read widely. The book’s appearance is timed to coincide with the US strategic pivot toward the Asia-Pacific. This is the right time for reflection on NATO's past accomplishments and for looking ahead. It is clear that NATO's future will not be like the past. The authors question NATO's role, purpose, utility, and scope in such a thoughtful way that the book will become a benchmark for informed speculation on the questions of global security governance in the 21st century."-- Igor Zevelev, formerly Washington Bureau Chief for the RIA Novosti Russian News and Information Agency"This book represents an important landmark in the study of international security of the new century. It convincingly demonstrates that in the 21st century NATO’s future will be as much shaped by trans-Pacific as trans-Atlantic dynamics, and that the perception of power shifts and partnerships are as important as the shifts themselves. This thesis and the policy insights provided within each of the discrete chapters – particularly those addressing the relationship between NATO and nuclear, energy, and cyber security – will be of interest to policy and decision-makers, as well as scholars, analysts, and students, in this pivotal Asia-Pacific region."-- Wang Li, Jilin University Republic of China"The book is a timely reminder that an understanding of NATO requires both an historical update and a fresh reintroduction to the full spectrum of multiple issue areas and policy questions on the Alliance's agenda. The editors have managed to strike a fine balance here in covering the diverse fields of NATO's activities, while also focusing sharply on the essential question: what is NATO's purpose? They have done a splendid job in highlighting what is at stake in the third 'Transatlantic Bargain' concerning the future of the Alliance in a world of changing power relations and emerging new threats."-- Tuomas Forsberg, University of TampereTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press German Strategy Path Verdun Erich von Falkenhayn and the Development of Attrition 18701916 Cambridge Military Histories
Book SynopsisAlmost 90 years since its conclusion, the battle of Verdun is still little understood. German Strategy and the Path to Verdun is a detailed examination of this seminal battle based on research conducted in archives long thought lost. Material returned to Germany from the former Soviet Union has allowed for a reinterpretation of Erich von Falkenhayn's overall strategy for the war and of the development of German operational and tactical concepts to fit this new strategy of attrition. By taking a long view of the development of German military ideas from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871, German Strategy and the Path to Verdun also gives much-needed context to Falkenhayn's ideas and the course of one of the greatest battles of attrition the world has ever known.Trade Review'This book is far more than a study of a grim battle … Foley has written a book which will be referred to repeatedly.'

Cambridge University Press The German Army and the Defence of the Reich
Book SynopsisThis book comprehensively revises our understanding of the development of military theory and doctrine in the German army between the wars. It shows that military planning concentrated primarily on a defensive war against superior enemies with the German army too weak for most of the period to effectively repel invaders.Trade Review'Strohn's stimulating study of German military thought during the interwar period ably tracks the development of a defensive doctrine in which the offensive remained paramount at the tactical level. It will appeal not only to military historians interested in the nuts and bolts of the tactical defensive but also to scholars more generally interested in military decision making and diplomacy during the interwar period.' Journal of Contemporary History'Matthias Strohn's work is complex, detailed, and well situated. Moreover, the author deserves a great deal of credit for managing a huge cast of officers and politicians.' H-Soz-u-KultTable of ContentsIntroduction and definitions; Part I.
