About this title

Review:

NBR's annual Strategic Asia series is a unique resource, combining scholarly rigor and analytic depth with a unified focus on problems of pressing policy relevance. Building on the two previous volumes, the 2017-18 edition takes us inside the minds of strategic planners and policymakers in each of Asia's major powers, explaining how they see the challenges confronting their countries and illuminating the national military strategies they are devising. It is an essential resource for understanding the geopolitical dynamics of the world s most important region. --Aaron L. Friedberg, Princeton University
