Featuring contributions by a distinguished group of international
security and Asia experts, this thoroughly revised and updated
edition of Asian Security Handbook focuses on the new challenges to
security in the Asia-Pacific region presented by international
terrorism. It reviews old security realities covered in previous
editions, and highlights more recent security issues in the region,
including the North Korean threat, weapons of mass destruction
proliferation, the South China Sea dispute, and the future
U.S.-China rivalry. The new edition has been completely reformatted
and restructured. A new introductory chapter on terrorism sets the
stage for the country-by-country profiles and assessments of the
political-security situation in twenty-three individual nations. A
new appendix on Foreign Terrorist Organizations is also included.
This thoroughly revised and updated edition of Asian Security
Handbook focuses on the new challenges to security in the
Asia-Pacific region presented by international terrorism. It
reviews "old" security realities covered in previous editions, and
highlights more recent security issues in the region, including the
North Korean threat, weapons of mass destruction proliferation, the
South China Sea dispute, and the future U.S. China rivalry.

Western interests in the Asia-Pacific region have dramatically
expanded over the last few years; particularly in terms of economic
relationships and commercial investment. While economic development
is predicted to continue in the region, the assumption of political
stability on which it depends is clouded major security
uncertainties lurking in the background, these could undermine the
relative stability the region has come to expect, and new strains
and fissures could develop in the region that would likely
reverberate elsewhere. Featuring nineteen individual country
profiles, which makes a unique contribution to the existing
literature, this volume seeks to shed light on the key political
and security factors and geopolitical trends that bear monitoring
and to point out new trends that have greater significance in the
post-Cold War environment.
