This handbook explores the significance of Indo-Pacific in world
politics. It shows how the re-emergence of the Indo-Pacific in
international relations has fundamentally changed the approach to
politics, economics, and security. The volume: * Explores the
themes related to trade, politics and security for better
understanding of the Indo-Pacific and the repercussions of the
regions' emergence; * Studies different security and political
issues in the region: military competition, maritime governance,
strategic alliances and rivalries, and international conflicts; *
Analyzes various socio-economic dimensions of the Indo-Pacific like
political systems, cultural and religious contexts, and trade and
financial systems; * Examines the strategies of various states and
their approaches towards Indo-Pacific like the USA, Japan, India,
and China; * Covers the role of middle powers and small states in
detail. Interdisciplinary in approach and with essays from authors
from around the world, the volume will be indispensable to scholars
and researchers in the field of international relations, politics,
and Asian studies.
This handbook is the first collection of comprehensive teaching
materials for teachers and students of Central Asian Studies (CAS)
with a strong pedagogic dimension. It presents 22 chapters,
clustered around five themes, with contributions from more than 19
scholars, all leading experts in the field of CAS and Eurasian
Studies. This collection is not only a reference work for scholars
branching out to different disciplines of CAS but also for scholars
from other disciplines broadening their scope to CAS. It addresses
post-colonial frameworks and also untangles topics from their
'Soviet' reference frame. It aims to de-exoticize the region and
draws parallels to European or to historically European-occupied
territories. In each chapter, the handbook provides a concise but
nuanced overview of the topics covered, in which way these have
been approached by the mainstream literature, and points out
pitfalls, myths, and new insights, providing background knowledge
about Central Asia to readers and intertwine this with an advanced
level of insight to leave the readers equipped with a strong
foundation to approach more specialized sources either in classroom
settings or by self-study. In addition, the book offers a
comprehensive glossary, list of used abbreviations, overview of
intended learning outcomes, and a smart index (distinguishing
between names, locations, concepts, and events). A list of recorded
lectures to be found on YouTube will accompany the handbook either
as instruction materials for teachers or visual aids for students.
Since the authors themselves recorded the lectures related to their
own chapters, this provides the opportunity to engage in a more
personalized way with the authors. This project is being developed
in the framework of the EISCAS project (www.eiscas.eu), co-funded
by the Erasmus + Program of the European Union.
