The book deals with key questions about the Asia Pacific: Why should we study policy from the "ground up"? What are the human considerations for societies in conflict? Why is regionalism important and how do global powers play a role? Should Asia-Pacific researchers embrace the design-based revolution in the social sciences? Muddy Boots and Smart Suits is for students, scholars, and policymakers in the region looking for a new way to understand local, regional, and global security challenges. 517 3 $aMuddy boots and smart suits 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General$2bisacsh 607 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 607 $aAsia$xResearch 607 $aPacific Area$xResearch 615 0$aInternational Relations. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. 676 $a327.5 702 $aFarrelly$b Nicholas$f1982- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828216103321 996 $aMuddy boots & smart suits$94091652 997 $aUNINA
