This new textbook gathers an international roster of top security studies scholars to provide an overview of Asia-Pacific's international relations and pressing contemporary security issues. It is a suitable introduction for undergraduate and masters students' use in international relations and security studies courses. Merging a strong theoretical component with rich contemporary and historical empirical examples, Asia-Pacific Security examines the region's key players and challenges as well as a spectrum of proposed solutions for improving regional stability. Major topics include in-depth looks at the United States' relationship with China; Security concerns presented by small and microstates, the region's largest group of nations; threats posed by terrorism and insurgency; the region's accelerating arms race and the potential for an Asian war; the possible roles of multilateralism, security communities, and human security as part of solutions to regional problems.

Reviews for Asia-Pacific Security: An Introduction

This is a timely, comprehensive and highly readable introduction to security in the Asia Pacific region. It will serve as an invaluable tool for teaching, research and policy debates on the challenges facing the region and how to address them. --Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor of International Relations, American University, Washington DC, School of International Service, American University This is an excellent text book on Asia-Pacific security, combining theoretical and policy dimensions of the subject matter. The rich essays in it add to our understanding of the subject and scholars and practitioners alike will find them useful. --T.V. Paul, James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University, Canada, Editor of: Accommodating Rising Powers: Past: Present and Future, 2016., This text is distinguished by the integration of international relations theory into the study of substantive security issues in the Asia-Pacific. The individual chapters are empirically authoritative and speak to a comprehensive range of 'traditional' and 'new' security concerns. There is no other textbook with this value-added and it fills an important gap for students and researchers alike. --Christopher W. Hughes, Professor of International Politics and Japanese Studies, Chair of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Warwick
