East Asia is richer, more integrated and more stable than ever
before, whilst East Asian defense spending is now roughly half of
what it was in 1990 and shows no sign of increasing. There is no
evidence of any Asian arms race. All countries in the region are
seeking diplomatic, not military solutions with each other. Yet
this East Asia reality still runs counter to a largely Western
narrative that views China's rise as a threat and the region as
increasingly unstable. In this important book, David C. Kang argues
that American grand strategy should emphasize diplomatic and
economic relations with the region, rather than military-first
policies. Using longitudinal and comparative data, statistical
analysis, and intensive research in selected East Asian countries,
he suggests that East Asia is in sync with the American desire to
share burdens and that the region may in fact be more stable than
popularly believed.
