Most studies of Asia-Pacific security are marked by pessimism and
continuing belief in the virtues of a balance of power. Pacific
Asia? goes against the grain by pointing to a number of positive
developments especially economic in regional relationships, the
absence of an arms race, the growth of multilateral groups, and an
emerging consensus on the importance of nonmilitary paths to
national security. Above all, Mel Gurtov stresses a definition of
security that focuses on basic human needs, social justice, and
environmental protection. The author disagrees with proponents of a
China threat, criticizes U.S. Cold War notions of security through
forward-based power, and argues for new efforts at regional
dialogue based on multilateral cooperation, sensitivity to Asian
nationalism, and a role for Japan as a 'global civilian power.'
