This book provides a systematic analysis of the current state and
future trajectory of security cooperation in the world's most
economically dynamic and strategically uncertain region. It
explains the rapid rise of a complex array of security mechanisms
in Asia and argues that their limited influence on Asian states'
security policy derives from a combination of institutional and
diplomatic shortcomings, as well as the broader mistrust and
strategic uncertainty evident in the region. As such, the paper
argues that Asia presently has a fractured security architecture
and that this likely to remain the case in the short term. Although
current security cooperation is not providing substantive
reassurance to many regional powers, indeed it is to some degree
masking the growing wariness among many regional powers,
institutional mechanisms can contribute to the creation of a stable
regional order in Asia and the prospects of such efforts are
politically plausible, but by no means inevitable. Provided they
are well designed and have sufficient political capital invested in
them, security institutions can be capable of providing regional
security public goods that are not available through other means,
and which the region will need if it is to be able to make good on
its potential.
