This book examines how international order at sea is challenged,
changed and maintained. The book surveys challenges to the
international order at sea in the Asia-Pacific, the Indian Ocean
Region, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. It explores the
interaction between and cooperation among leading, emerging and
smaller naval powers, both naval and coastguard responses, required
for the maintenance of good order at sea. Six broad and interlinked
issues are identified that will influence the future international
order at sea: the balance between the maritime and the continental
domains; the balance between great power rivalry and cooperation;
the contest between access and denial; the operational balance
between preparing; building and training for warfighting as opposed
to operations other than war; how to manage 'disorder' security
challenges that very often transcends territorial waters and
national boundaries, and finally, the balance between safeguarding
national interests and contributing to collective efforts
preserving the international order at sea.
This book examines India's foreign and defence policy changes in
response to China's growing economic and military power and
increased footprint across the Indo-Pacific. It further explores
India's role in the rivalry between China and the United States.
The book looks at the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean
Region in the Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape and how India is
managing China's rise by combining economic cooperation with a wide
set of balancing strategies. The authors in this book critically
analyse the various tools of Indian foreign policy, including
defence posture, security alignments, and soft power diplomacy,
among others, and discuss the future trajectory of India's foreign
policy and the factors which will determine the balance of power in
the region and the potential risks involved. The book provides
detailed insights into the multifaceted and complex relationship
between India and China and will be of great interest to
researchers and students of international relations, Asian studies,
political science, and economics. It will also be useful for
policymakers, journalists, and think tanks interested in the
India-China relationship.
This book is intended for policy-makers, academics and students of
development studies, area studies, political economy, geography and
political science. Three of the best global performers in terms of
economic growth are authoritarian states led by communist parties.
The 'socialist market economy' model employed in China, Vietnam and
Laos performs better than the economic systems in countries at a
similar level of income per capita on a wide range of development
indicators, yet market reforms and governance failures have led to
highly unequal societies and significant environmental problems.
This book presents the first comparative study of development in
these three countries. Written by country experts and scholars of
development studies, it explores the ongoing quest for market
versus state within their model, and the coherence of their
development. Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative

This edited volume explores and analyses strategic thinking,
military reform and adaptation in an era of Asian growth, European
austerity and US rebalancing. A significant shift in policy,
strategy and military affairs is underway in both Asia and Europe,
with the former gaining increasing prominence in the domain of
global security. At the same time, the world's powers are now faced
with an array of diverse challenges. The resurgence of great power
politics in both Europe and Asia, along with the long term threats
of terrorism, piracy and sustained geopolitical instability has
placed great strain on militaries and security institutions
operating with constrained budgets and wary public support. The
volume covers a wide range of case studies, including the
transformation of China's military in the 21st century, the
internal and external challenges facing India, Russia's military
modernization program and the USA's reassessment of its strategic
interests. In doing so, the book provides the reader with the
opportunity to conceptualize how strategic thinking, military
reform, operational adaptation and technological integration have
interacted with the challenges outlined above. With contributions
by leading scholars and practitioners from Europe and Asia, this
book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of
strategic and operational thinking and adjustment across the world.
This book will be of much interest to students of military and
strategic studies, security studies, defence studies, Asian
politics, Russian politics, US foreign policy and IR in general.
This book examines how recent fundamental changes influence
Sino-Russian relations and the wider long-term implications of the
revolving Sino-Russian dynamic on international affairs. It brings
together leading scholars to examine recent developments across the
whole relationship - from grand strategy and global governance, to
bilateral energy and military ties, and regional interaction in
Central Asia, Northeast Asia, and the Middle East. The Sino-Russian
relationship boasts major achievements, but also reveals important
differences and latent tensions. The project is intended for
policy-makers, academics and students of strategic studies,
diplomacy studies, Chinese politics, Russian politics and foreign
policy.
Since becoming president of China and general secretary of the
Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping has emerged as China's most
powerful and popular leader since Deng Xiaoping. The breathtaking
economic expansion and military modernization that Xi inherited has
led him to act on the belief that China can transform into a
twenty-first-century superpower. In this collection, leading
scholars from the United States, Asia, and Europe examine both the
prospects for China's continuing rise and the emergent and
unintended consequences posed by China's internal instability and
international assertiveness. Contributors examine domestic
challenges surrounding slowed economic growth, Xi's anticorruption
campaign, and government efforts to maintain social stability.
Essays on foreign policy range from the impact of nationalist
pressures on international relations to China's heavy-handed
actions in the South China Sea that threaten regional stability and
US-China cooperation. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date
analysis of current policy trends in Xi's China and the
implications of these developments for his nation, the United
States, and East Asia.

In May 2013, China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea (Asia
5) were given status as permanent observers in the Arctic Council.
It was a symbolic and significant moment in the history of Arctic
affairs. The list of stakeholders in the Arctic has now expanded to
include both the Arctic littoral states and the five Asian states.
The drivers and policies of these stakeholders on the Arctic vary,
but research on climate change, possible changes to the global
energy and minerals markets, adherence to international norms like
the UNCLOS, and geopolitical considerations are issues of concern.
This volume is based on the reviewed, revised and updated versions
of papers presented at the roundtable on The Geopolitics of the
Arctic: Commerce, Governance and Policy hosted by the Institute for
Defense Studies and Analyses (IDSA) in New Delhi in September,
2013, in joint co-operation with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute
(FNI), the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies (IFS) and Peace
Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).We hope that this book, with some
compelling perspectives on a number of challenging issues, will
help engage the policy community to identify and explore
opportunities for international cooperation in the Arctic. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Strategic
Analysis.
