(Studies on Think Asia)
by Swaran Singh (Editor), Reena Marwah (Editor)
This
book focuses on emerging new multilateralism in the Indo-Pacific and
offers a useful analysis of various existing and evolving formulations
and alignments in the region.
The book problematises
the evolution, relevance and changing contours of emerging economic and
security architectures and connects these to various unilateral and
multilateral initiatives that undergird the overall transformation in
these economic and strategic multilaterals in this region. The chapters
offer a comprehensive overview of organisations and institutions, and
the contributors provide their historical background and contemporary
focus with implications for the future. Consequently, the book provides a
balanced assessment of evolving trends elucidated by both its
theoretical debates and empirical analyses. It assesses the outline and
influence of non-traditional threats that have received only
stand-alone, and not integrated, examination involving issues as climate
change, piracy, smuggling and terrorist activity, triggering a whole
gamut of humanitarian and disaster relief strategies.
Comprehensive
in analysis and approach, the book will be of interest to scholars of
Political Science, Foreign Policy, Security Studies, International
Relations, International Political Economy and Area Studies, including
Asian, East Asian or Indo-Pacific Studies.
