Asian Security Order by Muthiah Alagappa

Asian Security Order by Muthiah Alagappa

An examination of Asian security, this work makes a case for taking regional politics and security dynamics seriously. The book examines the salience of the pathways, investigates the management of specific security issues, and discusses the nature of security order in Asia.

"Asian Security Order is Muttiah Alagappa's third and final volume on a subject of vital and growing importance in world politicsIt is the capstone volume of a theoretically sophisticated, intellectuallyintegrated, empirically rich, and politically sensitive set of inquiries. In the empirically informed literature on international relations, I know of no scholar writing on Asian security who comes close to matching the coherent and compelling vision of a politically relevant social science that Alagappa has succeeded in articulating. Like its two predecessors, this book will become required reading for any serious student of Asian security."—Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University
"Asian Security Order offers a complex and comprehensive, yet accessible analysis of the fundamental forces shaping security in Asia."—Pacific Affairs
