Asia's Naval Expansion

Geoffrey Till

4.9/5 (13880 ratings)

Description:"The Asia-Pacific region is likely to be the fulcrum of international security affairs in the twenty-first century. As the region's economies become stronger, defense budgets are rising and navies are expanding and modernizing. Some aspects of this procurement drive show signs of action-reaction dynamics between peer competitors, the hallmark of an arms race. Is the Asia-Pacific on the brink of an outright naval arms race, that could entail vast expenditures, threaten regional security and severely disrupt global trade? Or can rising naval capabilities and a desire for prestige among regional powers be reconciled with economic interdependence, freedom of navigation and managed competition between great powers? This analyzes the naval expansion of the four major Asia-Pacific powers, the US, China, India and Japan. It looks at recent and planned procurement to find examples of action, reaction behavior, and analyzes the underlying tensions and the potential for competition. It offers an insight into the size, expenditure and capability of the naval forces in each country and the role of the navy in overall military strategy; examines naval philosophies and specific security concerns, and how these will influence decision making; and assesses how each nation's naval strategy is evolving in response not only to global threats, but to shifts in the regional power balance." -- Back cover.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
