Security threats in Asia fast become issues for the rest of the world. This introductory and wide-ranging text on the subject takes a thematic approach to assess how localized security issues - from territorial rivalry to the rise of China - materialize as 'ripple effects' across the whole region.

"Asia's Security, provides a valuable guide for those looking to make sense of it all. . the author provides a crisp, systematic and readable analysis of what really constitutes security in Asia and what (if anything) can be clone to manage it better. . Those seeking to understand what is really happening in Asia, where New Zealand's interests are as much engaged as ever, will find this a most useful book."
