Book Alliance Expansion

Download or read book Alliance Expansion written by Michael K. Sleeman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis examines three alliances to determine the lessons learned that can apply to a possible future expansion of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA). The study concludes there are three conditions necessary for the FPDA to endure: whether states in the alliance are democracies, whether democratically elected civilians control the military, and whether the alliance is based on an initial threat plus a common culture and history. Furthermore, whilst the FPDA does not currently have an integrated military command structure (IMCS), the evidence from NATO and SEATO suggests that if the FPDA were to grow in terms of mission set and member states, then an IMCS would be more important than it has been in the past. Therefore, an IMCS warrants re-examining as the FPDA operates in the evolving security environment of Southeast Asia. To determine the lessons to apply to the FPDA, I analyze the enduring North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the failed Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) and the conditions present in the FPDA. The thesis further studies Asia today and determines that favorable conditions exist for FPDA expansion. By learning lessons that contributed to alliance endurance, expansion, or failure, Australia can wisely invest its aid and assistance money in the region, to ensure its sphere of influence is maintained and expanded in the evolving security environment. As threats within the Southeast Asian region change, so too must the purpose, size, and area in which alliances operate to ensure they facilitate the best possible outcome for the nations involved. This thesis attempts to provide such guidance, primarily to the Australian government as it looks to navigate the stormy seas in the Southeast Asian region."--Page v.

Book Southeast Asia and the Great Powers

Download or read book Southeast Asia and the Great Powers written by Nicholas Tarling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of regionalism in Southeast Asia depends on the attitudes of the states within the region but also on the attitude of those outside it. This book is an erudite and stimulating study on the latter. Placing these states in a long term historical context Tarling brings out the way in which the rivalries of those powers within the region and outside it have affected the states within the region. He also shows how divisions within the region, and within states in the region, offered invitations and opportunities for intervention from outside, and so perhaps gave Southeast Asia an importance in international relations it would not otherwise have had. Regional leaders appear in recent decades to have recognised what may be construed as one of the lessons of history; if Southeast Asia can provide security for the Straits route, and stable conditions for trade and investment, it might enjoy both peace and a measure of prosperity. Southeast Asia and the Great Powers is an important read for students and scholars of the history and international relations of Southeast Asia.

Download or read book Indo Pacific Strategy Report Preparedness Partnerships and Promoting a Networked Region 2019 DoD Report China as Revisionist Power Russia as Revitalized Malign Actor North Korea as Rogue State written by U S Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important report was issued by the Department of Defense in June 2019. The Indo-Pacific is the Department of Defense's priority theater. The United States is a Pacific nation; we are linked to our Indo-Pacific neighbors through unbreakable bonds of shared history, culture, commerce, and values. We have an enduring commitment to uphold a free and open Indo-Pacific in which all nations, large and small, are secure in their sovereignty and able to pursue economic growth consistent with accepted international rules, norms, and principles of fair competition. The continuity of our shared strategic vision is uninterrupted despite an increasingly complex security environment. Inter-state strategic competition, defined by geopolitical rivalry between free and repressive world order visions, is the primary concern for U.S. national security. In particular, the People's Republic of China, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, seeks to reorder the region to its advantage by leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce other nations. In contrast, the Department of Defense supports choices that promote long-term peace and prosperity for all in the Indo-Pacific. We will not accept policies or actions that threaten or undermine the rules-based international order - an order that benefits all nations. We are committed to defending and enhancing these shared values.China's economic, political, and military rise is one of the defining elements of the 21st century. Today, the Indo-Pacific increasingly is confronted with a more confident and assertive China that is willing to accept friction in the pursuit of a more expansive set of political, economic, and security interests. Perhaps no country has benefited more from the free and open regional and international system than China, which has witnessed the rise of hundreds of millions from poverty to growing prosperity and security. Yet while the Chinese people aspire to free markets, justice, and the rule of law, the People's Republic of China (PRC), under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), undermines the international system from within by exploiting its benefits while simultaneously eroding the values and principles of the rules-based order.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community. 1.

Book International Security in the Asia Pacific

Download or read book International Security in the Asia Pacific written by Alan Chong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume argues that international security in the Asia-Pacific lends itself to contradictory analyses of centrifugal and centripetal trends. Transitional polycentrism is intrinsically awkward as a description of the security of states and their populations; it implies the loosening of state control and the emergence of newly asserted authority by mixed constellations of intergovernmental organizations and non-state actors. It implies a competition of agendas: threats to the integrity of borders and human security threats such as natural disasters, airliner crashes, and displacement by man-made pollution and food scarcity. Conversely, polycentrism could also imply a return to a more neo-realist oriented international order where great powers ignore ASEAN and steer regional order according to their perceived interests and relative military superiority. This book embraces these contradictory trends as a foundation of analysis and accepts that disorder can also be re-described from the perspective of studied detachment as polycentric order.
