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.

Product description

Review

""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

S. C. O'BLACK

Great academic book for those in Security Studies

Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2018

Verified Purchase

As a Graduate student without a strong background in security studies, I found this book very useful. Albeit, I have a long military background to supplement some concepts. While some in the graduate program, based on their background, may find the approach a little rudimentary. However, it starts off with a robust framework for defining strategy and the different theoretical approaches to security studies. This book should be an essential foundational book for studies in Asia-Pacific Security at the undergraduate level and sound addition to any graduate level course. In applying the different theoretical frameworks adds value as well as being a relatively easy read with an academic approach. The book also provides the instructor or student with a conclusion, key points or takeaways and questions for discussion. It also includes a guide for additional readings at the end of each chapter that may be useful for further research. Less than 300 pages including all references, appendix, and glossary. Therefore, you will not find it an overwhelming read. The book itself (paperback) regarding size, paper quality, and font are excellent as well. Because it is an edited addition, you get many perspectives and not one single author's views. I recommend this book for anyone studying Asia-Pacific or security studies of the region.
