The Arms Race in Asia: Trends, causes and implications: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Arms Race in Asia: Trends, causes and implications" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book is the first systematic examination of the emerging arms race in Asia.

The global trade in arms is to a large degree underpinned by the strong demand for arms in Asia and the Middle East, the two largest arms export markets in the world. Of these two regions Asia has become particularly significant, led by the emergence of China and India as major powers. It is therefore not surprising that the rapid military modernisation in Asia, accompanied by significant increases in the size and sophistication of armed forces, has generated attention as to its trends, key characteristics, causes and implications. This phenomenon, which has become evident since the end of the Cold War, has also been widely described as an Asian arms race.

This book evaluates the key conceptual ideas which can shed light on this phenomenon, as well as examining the complex mix of internal, external and technological factors that have led to its emergence. The volume explores the way in which the arms race is leading ultimately to three distinctive blocs in the emerging geostrategic landscape: a loose bloc of US allies in the region; a counter-bloc of potential US adversaries; and a neutral bloc of states with industrial age armed forces whose allegiances will vary according to circumstances and geostrategic developments. The Arms Race in Asia concludes that if the emerging arms race is left unchecked, it is likely that Asia will increasingly become a region of instability, marked by conflicts and interstate wars.

The book will be of great interest to students of Asian politics, strategic studies, defence studies, security studies and IR in general.

Asian Security Studies
Series Editors: Sumit Ganguly, Indiana University, Bloomington, Andrew Scobell, Research and Development (RAND) Corporation, Santa Monica and Joseph Chinyong Liow, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Few regions of the world are fraught with as many security questions as Asia. Within this region it is possible to study great power rivalries, irredentist conflicts, nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation, secessionist movements, ethnoreligious conflicts and interstate wars. This book series publishes the best possible scholarship on the security issues affecting the region, and includes detailed empirical studies, theoretically oriented case studies and policy-relevant analyses as well as more general works.
