Rezensionen

'Asia is one of the world's most complex regions and one whose impact is increasingly felt globally. No one can claim to understand geopolitics anywhere without some understanding of Asian geopolitics. This is an invaluable, clear and comprehensive guide to the past, present and possible futures of Asian geopolitics.'-- Bilahari Kausikan, former permanent secretary of Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs

'This Adelphi book accurately captures the present-day Asian anxieties over an unravelling regional order and a future filled with geopolitical strife and unknown dangers.'-- Yao Yunzhu, retired major-general, Chinese People's Liberation Army

'An important contribution to informed debate on the various visions for Asia's future strategic order. Its sub-regional approach allows for cogent analysis of the unique dynamic and circumstances prevailing in each sub-region, while at the same time offering identification of some of the common challenges and opportunities.'-- Marty Natalegawa, former foreign minister of Indonesia

'A sober assessment of how a number of factors, new and old, impact the state of geopolitics in the region. The in-depth and timely analysis of COVID-19, the lack of regional architecture, shifting balances of power and the intensification of rivalries and military build-ups - especially China's - serves as a warning of the potentially troubled future for this dynamic and strategically critical region.'-- Oriana Skylar Mastro, Stanford University and the American Enterprise Institute
