Using a thematic approach, this volume addresses the international security concerns of the Asia-Pacific region.

The Asia-Pacific region presents one of the greatest challenges to international security in the post-Cold War era. Using a thematic and country-based approach, this volume discusses in detail the security issues of the region: the impact of American military reductions; Japan's emergent security role; the implications of fragile peace in Cambodia; the prospects for regional security cooperation; arms sales and the prospects for arms control; and nuclear proliferation.
