The Many Faces of Asian Security

This authoritative volume evaluates post-Cold War approaches to security in the Asia Pacific.

Leading specialists first examine traditional security concerns-military capabilities, balance of power, territorial and resource disputes, the effects of new technologies on military strategy, and the problems involved in maintaining sovereignty in the face of globalization.

They then introduce the new security agenda of economic and financial stability, the effects of environmental degradation, human rights and political stability, and the impact of transnational crime.

Their wide-ranging and incisive discussions will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and students alike.
