First published in 1998, this volume examines East Asia, especially
Northeast Asia, which has been a region of considerable political
security of importance for several key reasons. It features several
great and medium powers: China, Japan and Russia, as well as North
and South Korea. Even though no arms race is yet discernible among
these states (with the partial exception of the two Koreas), it is
conceivable that one might commence. If it did, the level of
militarization could become quite alarming, if only because of the
tremendous and rapidly growing economic potential of the regional
states. Even though relations among regional sates (except the two
Koreas) are currently peaceful, the region features several
unresolved issues (e.g. concerning territory) and a historical
legacy of enmity between several states. To prevent such conflicts
of interest from erupting into armed conflict is of the utmost
importance. A stabilizing factor is that the military potentials in
the region are still predominantly defensively oriented, i.e. most
states lack the requisite power projection or invasion capabilities
to inflict serious harm on each other. However, this might change
in the not-so-distant future. Hence the importance of
confidence-building measures; of an institutionalization of
regional relations; and of a strengthening of commitments to
defensive military strategies and postures.
