Security Challenges in the Contemporary Indo-Pacific

The Indo-Pacific is arguably the most important and most dynamic region in the world today, with numerous opportunities and challenges. This book covers major security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. Both traditional security challenges such as border and maritime disputes, arms races, weapons of mass destruction and sovereignty, and non-traditional security challenges such as demography, public health, climate change and the environment are addressed.Contributors who hail from Australia, China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, the United States, Vietnam, and elsewhere carefully examine key security challenges facing some individual countries or the region as a whole and discuss policy implications moving forward.
