Riassunto

The end of the Cold War in the Asian-Pacific region is causing confusion and foreboding as well as relief and optimism. Defence planners confront a regional security future in which uncertainty is now the major security concern. With the end of the East-West military confrontation, the often-facile assumptions of more than 40 years of bipolar security thinking can no longer guide policy. New thinking is needed. This book presents an analysis by leading scholars of the potential impact of the end of the Cold War on security in the Asian-Pacific. Successive chapters examine the impact of the end of the Cold War on alliance systems, regional conflicts, and the security policies of emergent powers like Japan, Korea and China. The security prospects for ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand in the new post-Cold War climate are also examined. Tom Millar is a Visiting Fellow in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science and was formerly Head of the Sir Robert Menzies Centre for Australia Studies. James Walter holds Chair of Australian Studies at Griffith University, Brisbane, and is currently seconded to the University of London as Head of the Sir Robert Menzies Centre of Australian Studies.
