Power and choice: Asian security futures

Report cover

03 June 2010Recent events in the seas off South Korea and Japan emphasise the fragility of Asia's security order and the strains the region's changing power distribution are placing on it. A new major Lowy Institute Asia Security Project report, 'Power and Choice: Asian Security Futures', analyses the likely security futures for Asia and Australia and recommends steps countries should take to ensure growing regional competition does not lead to conflict. This report was made possible by the generous support for the Project by the MacArthur Foundation.
