This book brings together respected experts to assess both the theoretical and empirical dimensions of the Asian security debate. Building on the latest research on Asia's regional security politics, it focuses on the 'regional-global nexus' as a way to understand the dynamics of Asian security politics and its intersection with global security. Contributors to the volume offer diverse but complementary perspectives on which issues and factors are most important in explaining how security politics in Asia can be interpreted at both the regional and global levels of analysis. Issues addressed include power balancing and alliances, governance and democracy, maritime and energy security, the relationship between economics and security, 'human security', terrorism, nuclear non-proliferation, climate change and pandemics. This work will serve as a standard reference on the evolution of key issues in Asian security.Security, InternationalAsiaSecurity, InternationalPacific AreaNational securityAsiaNational securityPacific AreaAsiaPolitics and government21st centuryPacific AreaPolitics and government21st centuryAsiaMilitary policyPacific AreaMilitary policyElectronic books.Security, InternationalSecurity, InternationalNational securityNational security355/.03305Tow William T564695MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454792403321Security politics in the Asia-Pacific2487861UNINA
