Much of the world reaped a peace dividend with the end of the
Cold War, yet Asia has seen little reduction in tensions and
military spending. Three Cold War era conflicts-those dividing
China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, and India and
Pakistan-remain unresolved. Other regional powers, as well as the
United States, continue to be concerned about these volatile
disputes. North Korea's nuclear and long-range missile development,
China's opposition to Taiwan's pursuit of independence, and
Pakistan's longstanding dispute with India have all received
increasing media attention. This is the first volume using a common
approach to examine post-Cold War changes in these three volatile
dyads.
The book's case studies detail the evolution of each country's
security policy and its shifting mix of alliances. The authors
analyze U.S. interests and discuss how U.S. intervention affects
strategic calculations of the conflicted states. This mechanism
allows gives the readers a truer understanding of the conflicts and
how they interact within the Asian security system in general. Each
of the dominant theoretical frameworks of international
relations-neo-realism, neo-liberalism, and constructivism-offer
crucial insights into this complicated situation.
