It reviews old security realities covered in previous editions, and highlights more recent security issues in the region, including the North Korean threat, weapons of mass destruction proliferation, the South China Sea dispute, and the future U.S.-China rivalry. Featuring contributions by a distinguished group of international security and Asia experts, this new edition has been reformatted and restructured. A new introductory chapter on terrorism sets the stage for the country-by-country profiles and assessments of the political-security situations in twenty-three individual nations. A new appendix on foreign terrorist organizations is also included."--Provided by publisher.National securityAsiaNational securityAustraliaNational securityNew ZealandPolitical stabilityAsiaPolitical stabilityAustraliaPolitical stabilityNew ZealandNational securityNational securityNational securityPolitical stabilityPolitical stabilityPolitical stability355/.03305Carpenter William M1898919Wiencek David G.1958-1811613MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968097203321Asian security handbook4557541UNINA
