Description
Security and Conflict in East Asia provides a timely and thorough analysis of the sources and implications of conflict on the Korean peninsula, China, and Japan, the three biggest economies in the world. This analysis offers the building blocks for effective solutions to manage these issues and is a vital resource for those seeking a clearer understanding of conflict in the most pivotal region in the world.
In the context of increasingly tense China-US strategic rivalry and the ever-present potential for conflict on the Korean peninsula, there are many reasons why a high potential exists for miscalculation and misperception, sparking a regional conflict. Given the presence of nuclear-armed powers, it is also possible that any regional conflict could escalate into a nuclear conflict. The security of, and any conflict in, East Asia thus has tremendous implications for global security.
The title is divided into four parts. The contributing authors are all experts in their respective fields, and they share an abiding concern over developments in East Asia. Their contributions aim to assist in a better understanding of the issues, suggest possible solutions, and draw attention to the need for diplomacy, confidence-building measures, and crisis management mechanisms.
The introductory section includes chapters that explain the history of international relations in East Asia and examine the phenomenon of the regional arms race. The second section comprises a series of chapters focusing on China, examining its military modernisation and relationship with the USA, as well as the various territorial disputes in which it has been involved. The third section focuses on Japan and North and South Korea, looking at the security challenges they face. A concluding section examines the future role of China and the USA in East Asia, and the prospects for managing security in the region.
This volume will be of use to government institutions involved in foreign policy, intelligence, and defence, research institutes, and academics. Scholarly analysis is yet to catch up, and currently, there are no other comprehensive works examining conflict in East Asia in the context of the current tensions.
