Ciorciari1st ed.Washington, D.C. Georgetown University Pressc20101 online resource (336 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-58901-696-3 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.The appeal of limited alignments -- Later stages of the Cold War -- The post-Cold War era -- Maritime Southeast Asia -- The mainland peninsula -- The prevalence of limited alignments today -- Key findings and implications.The Limits of Alignment is an engaging and accessible study that explores how small states and middle powers of Southeast Asia ensure their security in a world where they are overshadowed by greater powers. John D. Ciorciari challenges a central concept in international relations theoryùthat states respond to insecurity by either balancing against their principal foes, ôbandwagoningö with them, or declaring themselves neutral. Instead, he shows that developing countries prefer limited alignments that steer between strict neutrality and formal alliances to obtain the fruits of security cooperatGreat powersWorld politics1945-1989World politics1989-AlliancesCase studiesInternational relationsCase studiesNational securitySoutheast AsiaCase studiesSoutheast AsiaForeign relations20th centurySoutheast AsiaForeign relations21st centuryGreat powers.World politicsWorld politicsAlliancesInternational relationsNational security327.59Ciorciari John D(John David)908284MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812704403321The limits of alignment4048437UNINA
