Cooperative Security and the Balance of Power in ASEAN and the ARFSummary
In this book, Emmers addresses the key question: to what extent may the balance of power play a part in such cooperative security arrangements and in the calculations of the participants of ASEAN and the ARF? He investigates the role of the power balance in detailed examinations of the creation of the forum, ASEAN’s response to the Indochina conflict and the South China sea dispute.
