Gulf stability is coming to play a larger role in the foreign
policy calculus of many states, but the evolving role of Asian
powers is largely under-represented in the International Relations
literature. This volume addresses this gap with a set of
empirically rich, theory driven case studies written by academics
from or based in the countries in question. The underlying
assumption is not that Asian powers have already become important
security actors in the Gulf, but rather that they perceive the Gulf
as a region of increasing strategic relevance. How will leaders in
these countries adjust to an evolving regional framework? Will
there be coordinated efforts to establish an Asian-centered
approach to Gulf stability, or will Asian rivalries make the region
a theater of competition? Will US-China tensions force alignment
choices among Asian powers? Will Asian states balance, bandwagon,
hedge, or adopt some other approach to their Gulf relationships?
These questions become even more important as the western
boundaries of Asia increasingly come to incorporate the Middle
East. The book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields
of International Relations, Security Studies, and International
Political Economy, as well as area specialists on the Gulf and
those working on foreign policy issues on each of the Asian
countries included. Professionals in government and non-government
agencies will also find it very useful. The Open Access version of
