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 provides the building blocks for effective
solutions to manage these, and is a vital resource to 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, the ever-present potential for conflict on the Korean
peninsula, there are many good reasons why the 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 all share an abiding concern over
developments in East Asia. Their contributions aim to assist in a
better understanding of the issues, to suggest possible solutions,
and draw attention to the need for diplomacy, confidence-building
measures and crisis management mechanisms conflict. The
introductory section includes chapters which explain the history of
international relations in East Asia and examine the phenomenon of
the regional arms race. The second section is made up of a series
of chapters focusing on China, examining its military modernization
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 that 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.
