Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this examination of the possible threat posed by the marriage of an age-old weapon, poison gas, with a nuclear-age delivery system, the ballistic missile, the authors assess the alleged proliferation of chemical weapons and missile technology worldwide, with particular emphasis on the Asia/Pacific region. They also describe the ongoing efforts to curb chemical and missile proliferation and to find lasting solutions to the problem. Detailed attention is given to the new chemical weapons convention, designed to permanently ban chemical weapons globally, and to the missile technology control regime. Key documents issued at the time of the regime's unveiling in 1987 are included in their entirety.

Book excerpt: Chapter 1 The Asia-Pacific region is an area of great strategic importance in the world. The prospering economy of the area after the Second World War has heightened this importance. However, while arms control and disarmament in Europe is moving towards a promising prospect with the ending of the Cold War, the Asia-Pacific region is experiencing an increase in national military expenditures and imports of advanced weapons in most of the States. This chapter gives a picture of this recent military buildup in different nations in the region. Chapter 2 This chapter takes nuclear weapons as an example to show the seriousness of proliferation of mass destructive weapons in the region. Motivated by different national considerations, some States in the region began to pursue nuclear weapons capability. The nuclear weapon programmes of a number of nations such as India, Pakistan and North Korea have aroused concerns of the international community. Although there exists a nuclear non-proliferation regime based on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the effectiveness of the regime is hindered by some distinctive loopholes of itself. The task laying in front of the world is to keep and strengthen the existing regime and to work out some alternatives to eliminate the incentives of proliferating States. Chapter 3 Ballistic missiles are either an effective weapon of deterrence or a symbol of national prestige and technological advancement. As an alternative delivery system, the proliferation of ballistic missiles has a strong connection with the proliferation of mass destructive weapons. Quite a few of the Asia-Pacific region States have comprehensive ballistic missile programmes. The proliferation of ballistic missiles not only destabilises the security of the region but also fuels the proliferation of mass destructive weapons. As a mere supply-side policy, the existing Missile Technology Control Regime is far from a comprehensive one and it has many obvious deficiencies. So efforts should be made to pursue new policies toward this proliferation, including measures to enhance the capability of the present MTCR, to strengthen supply control and reduce the incentives of importers.

Book excerpt: "US policy choices toward TMD in the Asia-Pacific region must be acutely mindful of the pitfalls associated with missile defense deployments, but they must also be responsive to the growing ballistic missile threats in the region. A simplistic, "one-size-fits-all" policy for TMD would worsen regional security and harm US national security interests"--Web site
Download or read book The Evolving Maritime Balance of Power in the Asia Pacific written by Lawrence W. Prabhakar and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asia-Pacific region has emerged as the hub of global geo-political, geo-economic and geo-strategic significance in the post-Cold War period. The rise of China and the resurgence of India will be the hallmark for the next 50 years. How this surge in power is accommodated by the incumbent powers like the United States and Japan, and how the new regional powers like China and India manage the power politics that emerge will be the key determinants of regional stability. This volume examines the national maritime doctrines as well as the nuclear weapons developments at sea of the four major powers in the Asia-Pacific, namely, China, India, Japan and the United States, to see if the evolving dynamic is a cooperative or a competitive one. In particular, the volume looks at the evolving paradigms of maritime transformation in strategy and technology; the emergent new maritime doctrines and evolving force postures in the naval orders of battle; the role and operations of nuclear navies in the Asia-Pacific; and the implications and impact of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and sea-based missile defence responses in the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of ballistic missiles that can deliver weapons of mass destruction halfway across the world is a matter of growing urgency and concern, as is the fate of agreements limiting the development of such deadly weapons. The Bush administration’s scrapping of the ABM Treaty and pursuit of a huge National Missile Defense initiative are dramatic evidence of this concern. Yet there remains much uncertainty about the viability of missile defense. If defenses fall short, strong security regimes will be necessary to contain missile proliferation. Since 1987, more than thirty states have agreed to restrict their transfer of missiles and related technologies under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). During the MTCR’s first decade, several regional powers were thwarted from advancing their missile ambitions. Subsequently, however, states such as North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Israel have tested medium-range missiles and others have expanded their missile arsenals. Dinshaw Mistry critically examines the successes and limitations of the MTCR, and suggests five practical ways to strengthen the regime. The author’s exhaustive research offers new and detailed insights on the technology and politics of missile programs in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Pakistan, India, Israel, Egypt, South Korea, Taiwan, and other countries. Mistry also shows how international cooperation, security regimes, and U.S. foreign policies of engagement and containment with these states can halt their missile programs. Mistry’s book is the first comprehensive study of the MTCR and of international efforts to contain missile proliferation. Policymakers, scholars, and the general reader will find this book a valuable contribution to the subjects of arms control, ballistic missile proliferation, multilateral cooperation, and international security regimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. ballistic missile defense policy toward Europe and the Asia-Pacific region could be seen as a policy initiative that satisfies both of the two meanings of rebalancing strategy, which are the strategic redirection of the defense policy and efficient operations of its military forces. Although the efforts of the American missile defense system construction in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region were promoted before the rebalancing strategy, the U.S. missile defense policy in these regions could be interpreted as a component of the rebalancing strategy. Based on its missile defense policy, it is possible for the United States to pursue efficient management and the retrenchment of its military forces in Europe. In addition, the United States will protect the security of its allies and strengthen cooperation with partner states in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, this article reviews the U.S. missile defense policy in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region from the standpoint of rebalancing strategy and examines its strategic implications for the ROK-U.S. alliance.
