Description
Book SynopsisThe Asia-Pacific Regional Security Assessment examines key regional security issues relevant to the policy-focused discussions of the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier defence summit convened by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. It is published and launched at the Dialogue and the issues analysed within its covers are central to discussions at the event.
Since February 2022, the war in Ukraine has provided a bleak backdrop for discussions about international security. While the war has affected many aspects of security and defence in the Asia-Pacific, the region also has its own dynamics, and important security-related developments have occurred there since the invasion. Among these, China's ever-growing power and increasingly assertive posture remain the leading long-term challenges for the region.
This tenth edition of the Asia-Pacific Regional Security Assessment contains an introduction and six chapters, authored by IISS expert
