Opis

Leading academics from around the world, who specialize in analysing maritime strategic issues, deliberate the impact of the American 'pivot' or 're-balance' strategy, and the 'Air-Sea Battle' operational concept, on the maritime power and posture of a number of selected states. Intending to strengthen US economic, diplomatic, and security engagement throughout the Asia-Pacific, both bilaterally and multilaterally, the re-balance stands out as one of the Obama administration's most far-sighted and ambitious foreign policy initiatives.

’This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the different perspectives of nations with a key interest in the emerging strategic environment of the Asia-Pacific as they seek to come to terms with the always complex and often fraught relationship between China and the United States.’ James Goldrick, Australian National University, Australia
