South Asia Regional Dynamics and Strategic Concerns by Robert A. Lamb,Sadika Hameed,Kathryn Mixon Pdf

Once the United States withdraws most or all of its forces from Afghanistan, what issues are likely to continue to be of concern to U.S. policymakers in South Asia? What regional dynamics are likely to affect their ability to achieve policy priorities there? While the United States and its coalition partners have focused primarily on Afghanistan and Pakistan over the past 12 years, the strategic dynamics most likely to be relevant over the next 12 years will probably be clustered around relationships linking Pakistan, India, and China. The authors of this report propose a framework for U.S. policy in South Asia centered around that cluster rather than the more common cluster of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The report includes an analysis of U.S. policy priorities, contingencies, and regional dynamics in South Asia.

South Asian Security by Sagarika Dutt,Alok Bansal Pdf

The South Asian security complex refers to security interdependencies between the states in the region, and also includes the effect that powerful external actors, such as China, the US and Russia, and geopolitical interests have on regional dynamics. This book focuses on the national securities of a number of South Asian countries in order to discuss a range of issues related to South Asian security. The book makes a distinction between traditional and non-traditional security. While state-centric approaches such as bilateral relations between India and Pakistan are considered to be traditional realist approaches to security, the promotion of economic, environmental and human security reflect global concerns, liberal theories and cosmopolitan values. The book goes beyond traditional security issues to reflect the changing security agenda in South Asia in the twenty-first century, and is a useful contribution to studies on South Asian Politics and Security Studies.

The United States and Asia by Robert G. Sutter Pdf

Now in a fully revised and updated edition, this cogent book provides an overview of the historical context and enduring patterns of U.S. relations with Asia. Noted scholar Robert G. Sutter offers a balanced analysis of post–Cold War dynamics in Asia, which involve interrelated questions of security, economics, national identity, and regional institution building. He demonstrates how these critical concerns manifest a complex mix of realist, liberal, and constructivist tendencies that define the regional order. He describes how the United States has responded to Asia’s growing strength and importance while at the same time trying to maintain its leading position as an Asian power despite China’s rising influence. Considering the most important transition in American policy toward Asia since the end of the Cold War, Sutter assesses the growing U.S.-China rivalry that now dominates both regional dynamics in the Asia-Pacific and U.S. policy in the region.

South Asian Strategic Issues by Shelton U Kodikara Pdf

This book examines from Sri Lankan perspectives the changing position of Sri Lanka in South Asia brought about by the internationalisation of ethnic conflict, and the increasing strategic importance to India of Sri Lanka. The major feature of the book is the analysis of the geo-strategic scenario in South Asia in relation to the new situation which has been created by the signing of the Indo-Sri Lankan agreement in July 1987. Various contributors examine the agreement in the context of the strategic parameters pertaining to the South Asian region and discuss the extent to which these parameters are themsleves influenced by great power rivlaries. Three contributors explore the specifically subcontinental and regional aspects of the strategic scenario; two of them deal with the extra-regional dimension; while one paper considers whether the Indo-Sri Lankan Agreement has had the effect of placing Sri Lanka in the same position which Finland occupies in relation to the Soviet Union. The remaining essays discuss the present statutes and future prospects of the Agreement.

Strategy and Security in the Asia-Pacific by Desmond Ball,Robert Ayson Pdf

From the war on terror to the rise of China, this book unlocks the major strategic themes and security challenges of the early twenty-first century. Strategy and Security in the Asia-Pacific provides the analytical frameworks needed to make sense of this complex but exciting strategic universe. Offering a unique mix of global strategic thinking and Asia-Pacific security analysis, this book is for readers from Sydney to Seoul who want to put their own local security challenges in a wider regional and global context. It is also for North American and European readers requiring an understanding of the dynamic security developments in the Asia-Pacific region around which so much of global strategy is increasingly based. The really vital questions facing the international community are dealt with here: Why do governments and groups still use armed force? Has warfare really changed in the information age? Why should we be concerned about non-traditional security challenges such as water shortages and the spread of infectious disease? Is a great clash imminent between the United States and China? What are the prospects for peace on the Korean peninsula and between India and Pakistan? Can Southeast Asia survive the challenges of transnational terrorism? What does security mean for the Pacific island countries and for Australia and New Zealand? With contributions from leading commentators and analysts, Strategy and Security in the Asia-Pacific offers a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the field.

The Dynamics of South Asia by Eric Gonsalves,Nancy Jetly Pdf

They stress the importance of strengthening linkages by concentrating on the economic and cultural concerns of the region, rather than on political and security issues.
