دانلود کتاب Geopolitics and the Indo-Pacific Region

Exploring the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific region, which has emerged as the centre of gravity, a major hub of global economic/commercial, military, diplomatic and cultural activities in the 21st century, this textbook provides students with an introduction to the existing debates, frameworks and issues surrounding the Indo-Pacific.

The book explains the historical background to highlight the significance of the Indo-Pacific region, the shift of power from West to East and the importance of the growing connectivity between Asia-Pacific and the Indo-Pacific areas. Presenting the different arguments regarding the caveats and meaning of 'Indo-Pacific', the book shows that the region is the "theatre" of great power and middle power competition. Analysing the rise of non-traditional threats which have a transnational character, the chapters explore prospects of stability and areas of cooperation.

Complete with maps, profiles of important peoples and institutions, time line of events, major dates, key alliances and list of further readings and questions for discussion, this book fills a gap in the market. It will be of interest to upper level undergraduates and postgraduate students and researchers studying International Relations, IPE, Geopolitics, Asian Politics and Asian Security Studies.
