Description
Book SynopsisMany studies of Asia-Pacific security are marked by pessimism and a belief in the virtues of a balance of power. "Pacific Asia?" points to a number of positive developments - in regional relationships, the absence of an arms race, and an emerging consensus on nonmilitary paths to national security.
Trade ReviewWithin the context of a burgeoning literature on Asian security, this book is wise, welcome, and timely. It suggests a range of preventive policies that are workable, globally humanist, and culturally appropriate. * Journal of Asian Studies *
