Unbranded All Books sku-6089950 Asia-Pacific Geopolitics

Asia-Pacific Geopolitics: Hegemony vs. Human Security is an Unbranded title in All Books (sku-6089950). It reassesses security prospects in the Asia-Pacific through hegemonic power, human security and multilateralism. Set in the post-September 11 context, it discusses declining hegemonic authority, movement toward multipolarity, the UN's future, the roles of Japan and Australia, and China's growing influence.

The book presents human security as a possible purpose for regional and global cooperation. It asks whether civil society and epistemic communities can help define cooperation across cultural and civil boundaries, and whether they can work more effectively with states and multilateral organizations.

Contributors from public policy, social ethics, defence, human security and sustainability consider responses by states and civil society. The book is aimed at scholars, researchers and policymakers interested in international relations, politics and Asian studies.
