The book offers indispensable insights and appropriate remedies to maintain the rules-based international order as threatened by China's increasingly assertive and bellicose posturing. It offers up-to-date analyses of Covid-19-related geopolitical trends, the strategies of various Indo-Pacific states against the backdrop of great power competition, the increasingly confrontational stance of Indo-Pacific states against China and the 2020 US election results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique book presents deep insights into the roles of Eurasia, small isla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs China forcefully attempts world dominance, it disrupts the rules-based international order. Its refusal to heed the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s award voiding its nine-dash line claim and acknowledging the Philippines exclusive sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea, is only one example. In confronting challenges to maintaining a free, open and rules-based Indo-Pacific order, \u003cem\u003eIndo-Pacific Strategies\u003c\/em\u003e enlightens freedom-loving people through its analyses.

Of particular interest are perspectives on how Europe, the Middle East and Africa are interacting with the region.

A real strength of this volume is the way it brings together an array of experts whose perspectives reflect the true multipolarity of the Indo-Pacific, a region too large and diverse for hegemony. And the welcome focus on formulating national strategies means this is not purely an academic exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Professor Rory Medcalf, Australian National University, author of \u003cem\u003eIndo-Pacific Empire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the idea of the Indo-Pacific overcomes the initial skepticism that greeted it and gains political traction, Cannon and Hakata offer a valuable assessment of the prospects for this new strategic geography. In combining the perspectives from key actors across this broad theater with deep theoretical and practical insights, \u003cem\u003eIndo-Pacific Strategies\u003c\/em\u003e becomes a good pivot to scholars interested in the geopolitical churn that is unfolding in the Eastern Hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Professor C.
