This book examines perceptions of the 'China Threat', and
governments' policies in response to this perceived threat in a
wide range of countries, including the United States, Russia,
Europe, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, and countries in the Middle
East. Perceptions of the Chinese themselves are also looked at, the
current security concerns and policies of each country are examined
in detail, especially the policy of engagement, and future
prospects for relations with China are assessed.
Since the end of the Cold War, one of the most significant debates
in international relations has been the question of whether the
rise of China as a major economic, political and military power
will be a force for stability or instability in the international
system and the East Asian region. Forceful arguments have been put
forward on both sides. This book examines perceptions of the 'China
Threat', and governments' policies in response to the perceived
threat in a wide range of countries, including the United States,
Russia, Europe, Japan, South Asia, South-East Asia and the Middle
East, as well as the perceptions of the Chinese themselves. For
each country current security concerns and policies, especially the
policy of engagement, are examined in detail, and future prospects
for relations with China are assessed. As the Bush administration
in Washington increasingly focuses on China as a 'strategic
competitor' and Sino-US relations becomes increasingly tense, the
'China Threat' issue has come to dominate the security agenda in
the Asia-Pacific region, and now poses the biggest foreign policy
challenge of the 21st century.
Since the early 1990s and the end of the Cold War, the
implications of China's rising power have come to dominate the
security agenda of the Asia-Pacific region. This book is the first
to comprehensively chart the development of Southeast Asia's
relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC) from 1949 to
2010, detailing each of the eleven countries' ties to the PRC and
showing how strategic concerns associated with China's regional
posture have been a significant factor in shaping their foreign and
defence policies. In addition to assessing bilateral ties, the book
also examines the institutionalization of relations between the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China.
The first part of the book covers the period 1949-2010: it
examines Southeast Asian responses to the PRC in the context of the
ideological and geopolitical rivalry of the Cold War; Southeast
Asian countries' policies towards the PRC in first decade of the
post-Cold War era; and deepening ties between the ASEAN states and
the PRC in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Part Two
analyses the evolving relationships between the countries of
mainland Southeast Asia - Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and
Cambodia - and China. Part Three reviews ties between the states of
maritime Southeast Asia - Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the
Philippines, Brunei and East Timor - and the PRC. Whilst the
primary focus of the book is the security dimension of Southeast
Asia-China relations, it also takes full account of political
relations and the burgeoning economic ties between the two sides.
This book is a timely contribution to the literature on the fast
changing geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region.

Artifacts of Thinking: Reading Arendt's "Denktagebuch" offers a
path through Hannah Arendt's recently published Denktagebuch, or
"Book of Thoughts." In this book a number of innovative Arendt
scholars come together to ask how we should think about these
remarkable writings in the context of Arendt's published writing
and broader political thinking. Unique in its form, the
Denktagebuch offers brilliant insights into Arendt's practice of
thinking and writing. Artifacts of Thinking provides an
introduction to the Denktagebuch as well as a glimpse of these
fascinating but untranslated fragments that reveal not only
Arendt's understanding of "the life of the mind" but her true lived
experience of it.
Launched in 1992, ""Regional Outlook"" is an annual publication of
the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, published every January.
Designed for the busy executive, professional, diplomat,
journalist, or interested observer, ""Regional Outlook"" aims to
provide a succinct analysis of current political and economic
trends shaping the region, and the outlook for the forthcoming two

The Naval War College Review was established in 1948 and is a forum
for discussion of public policy matters of interest to the maritime
services. The forthright and candid views of the authors are
presented for the professional education of the readers. Articles
published are related to the academic and professional activities
of the Naval War College. They are drawn from a wide variety of
sources in order to inform, stimulate, and challenge readers, and
to serve as a catalyst for new ideas. Articles are selected
primarily on the basis of their intellectual and literary merits,
timeliness, and usefulness and interest to a wide readership. The
thoughts and opinions expressed in this publication are those of
the authors and are not necessarily those of the U.S. Navy
Department or the Naval War College.
While the overall security situation in Southeast Asia is something
of a mixed bag, with grounds for both optimism and pessimism, one
of the most encouraging trends in recent years has been the
development of ASEAN's relations with major external powers.
Relations between China and ASEAN in particular have demonstrated a
marked improvement over the past decade, thanks to a combination of
burgeoning economic ties, perceptions of China as a more
constructive and responsible player in regional politics, and
Beijing's "charm offensive" toward Southeast Asia. Overall, the
development of ASEAN-China relations poses few security challenges
to the United States today: good relations between China and ASEAN
enhance regional stability, and a stable Southeast Asia is clearly
in America's interests, especially with Washington focused on
events in the Middle East. However, although ASEAN-China relations
are very positive, this does not necessarily mean the United States
is losing influence in Southeast Asia, or that ASEAN members are
"bandwagoning" with China--in fact, they are hedging by keeping
America engaged and facilitating a continued U.S. military
presence. While ASEAN-China relations are relatively benign today,
in the future several sources of potential friction could create
problems in Sino-U.S. relations: these are Taiwan, Burma, and the
South China Sea dispute. This monograph examines each of these
scenarios in turn.
The purpose of this monograph is twofold. First, the author, Dr.
Ian Storey, provides a brief overview of the development of
relations between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Second, he
explores the implications for the United States and, in particular,
identifies the potential security challenges which might arise from
this relationship. This monograph is part of a series of
publications that seek to explorer the wide variety of challenges
and opportunities our nation faces in the 21st century. This series
comes from our 18th Strategy Conference, "Global Security
Challenges to U.S. Interests." The monograph represents part of
SSI's efforts to provide expert analysis of some of the most urgent
issues confronting U.S. security in today's world.
Established in 1971 by Singapore, Malaysia, Britain, Australia and
New Zealand, the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) has proved
to be one of Asia's most enduring military pacts. Since its
foundation, the FPDA has functioned as an important confidence
building measure between its two Southeast Asian members, and has
facilitated interoperability, professionalization and cooperation
among the armed forces of the five countries. Crucially, its
inherent flexibility and adaptability has enabled it to respond
effectively to changes in the geopolitical environment as well as
the emergence of new security threats. Now in its fortieth year,
the FPDA remains a valuable component of Asia's security
architecture in a time of change and uncertainty.
Increasing tensions in the South China Sea have propelled the
dispute to the top of the Asia-Pacific's security agenda. Fuelled
by rising nationalism over ownership of disputed atolls, growing
competition over natural resources, strident assertions of their
maritime rights by China and the Southeast Asian claimants, the
rapid modernization of regional armed forces and worsening
geopolitical rivalries among the Great Powers, the South China Sea
will remain an area of diplomatic wrangling and potential conflict
for the foreseeable future. Featuring some of the world's leading
experts on Asian security, this volume explores the central drivers
of the dispute and examines the positions and policies of the main
actors including China, Taiwan, the Southeast Asian claimants,
America and Japan. The South China Sea Dispute: Navigating
Diplomatic and Strategic Tensions provides readers with the key to
understanding how this most complex and contentious dispute is
shaping the regional security environment.
