Asia-Pacific Security Cooperation National Interests and Regional Order

New developments in the Asia-Pacific region call for a review of our current understanding of the security order there. These developments are forcing regional elites to rethink and alter, in varying degrees, the way they manage security issues. Against this backdrop of regional transition, contributors to this volume explore the following: bilateral security cooperation and emerging multilateral structures; factors needed to develop complementary relationships between states; and why some forms of security cooperation and institutionalization in the Asia-Pacific have proved more feasible than others. The first section of the book provides and overview of evolving security approaches in the Asia-Pacific region Part II of the book presents country-based perspectives on how nine nations in the region have evolved in their thinking and approach to security management from the Cold War to the preset, including their responses to nontraditional security challenges suchs as terrorism.Tan, See S. is the author of 'Asia-Pacific Security Cooperation National Interests and Regional Order', published 2004 under ISBN 9780765614759 and ISBN 0765614758.
