This edited volume analyses the naval arms race in South-East Asia,
and reviews the content, purposes and consequences of the naval
policies and development of the main countries of the region. The
rise of naval capability in the countries of the Asia-Pacific
Region is increasingly recognised as a major indicator of the 'rise
of Asia' and its increasing importance in the world's political,
economic and strategic future. Most coverage focusses solely on the
navies of the 'big four' - the US, China, India and Japan; however,
the region's other navies, though much smaller, are significant
too. Given the current focus on the South China Sea and the Obama
administration's pivot to Asia, naval development in South-East
Asia is of particular relevance. This book first identifies the
issues involved in defence acquisition in this area. It then goes
on to establish some templates of naval modernisation as a means of
assessing the policies of individual countries in the region, by
looking at the naval policies of the big four. Finally, the general
issue of naval modernisation in South-East Asia is illustrated
through a more detailed examination of some of the major issues
common to all countries of the area. These include the
defence-industrial perspective, specific examinations of submarine
and surface ship acquisition processes, and a review of the balance
to be struck between naval and coastguard forces in the area. This
book will be of much interest to students of naval power, maritime
security, South-East Asian politics, strategic studies, and IR in
general.
