The Limits of Alignment by John D Ciorciari
A study that explores how small states and middle powers of Southeast Asia ensure their security in a world where they are overshadowed by greater powers. It also discusses how limited alignments in the developing world may affect the future course of international security as China and other rising powers gather influence on the world stage.
Draws from an impressive selection of secondary sources.. For those who are interested in constructing grand theoretical structures through which to understand foreign relations, Ciorciari's book is of clear value. It adds complexity to a particular view of the world and, crucially, emphasizes the agency of state actors in countries that are assigned the 'developing country' label. South East Asia Research
