About this title

Synopsis

The maritime environment in the Asia-Pacific region has been changing rapidly. Maritime Change: Issues for Asia examines the changes that have occurred and addresses the implications. Its central theme is the scope for closer regional cooperation on maritime issues in the Asia-Pacific region.
Internationally recognised maritime specialists explore the likely impact on the regional maritime environment of the demise of the Soviet Union; the changing roles of external and regional powers; the potential for maritime arms control; the approach by regional countries to law of the sea issues; the prospects for peaceful resolution of the conflicting territorial claims in the South China Sea; and the patterns of shipping likely to develop during the 1990s and beyond.
These are all issues of concern for the security and prosperity of Australia and the other nations of the region.
In the second half of the book, senior naval officers and national security specialists from regional countries provide invaluable perspectives on the maritime priorities of key countries within the region.
