Produktbeschreibung
This book focuses on the Indo-Pacific region's growing prominence as the world's major powers gravitate toward this space to expand their influence.

With dynamic shifts taking place in the globe's most strategically volatile region, Indo-Pacific Strategies aims at clarifying the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific, expounded both as a strategic concept and nascent region, thus contributing to the burgeoning policy and academic debate. The book offers indispensable insights and appropriate remedies to maintain the rules-based international order as threatened by China's increasingly assertive and bellicose posturing. It offers up-to-date analyses of Covid-19-related geopolitical trends, the strategies of various Indo-Pacific states against the backdrop of great power competition, the increasingly confrontational stance of Indo-Pacific states against China and the 2020 US election results.

This unique book presents deep insights into the roles of Eurasia, small island states, the Middle East and Africa, in addition to Australia, India, Japan and the US, thereby providing much needed comparative studies. It also closely investigates the strategic and tactical operationalization of the Indo-Pacific, making it an essential read for scholars, policymakers, students, and strategists in the field of international politics and Area Studies.

Excerpt from the foreword by
ABE Shinz , (former) Prime Minister of Japan
"I think this book is the timeliest attempt to bring together the wisdom of eleven people to present a multifaceted view of the FOIP [Free and Open Indo-Pacific]. As a reader, I would like to express my gratitude to the editors and contributors for their valuable intellectual contributions."

Rezensionen
As China forcefully attempts world dominance, it disrupts the rules-based international order. Its refusal to heed the Permanent Court of Arbitration's award voiding its nine-dash line claim and acknowledging the Philippines exclusive sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea, is only one example. In confronting challenges to maintaining a free, open and rules-based Indo-Pacific order, Indo-Pacific Strategies enlightens freedom-loving people through its analyses. The authors and editors deserve commendation.

From major powers to the too-often ignored small island states, the topics covered in this collection reflect the latest scholarship and thinking on the vital geopolitical environment of the Indo-Pacific. Of particular interest are perspectives on how Europe, the Middle East and Africa are interacting with the region. It will be hard for policymakers and strategists to find a more up-to-date, theoretically sophisticated and useful volume than Indo-Pacific Strategies.

- Michael R. Auslin, Payson J. Treat Distinguished Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford, and author of Asia's New Geopolitics

The age of the Indo-Pacific is here. Indo-Pacific Strategies will be an essential and comprehensive resource for scholars and policymakers as they grapple with the complexities of this new era in geopolitics. A real strength of this volume is the way it brings together an array of experts whose perspectives reflect the true multipolarity of the Indo-Pacific, a region too large and diverse for hegemony. And the welcome focus on formulating national strategies means this is not purely an academic exercise.

- Professor Rory Medcalf, Australian National University, author of Indo-Pacific Empire

As the idea of the Indo-Pacific overcomes the initial skepticism that greeted it and gains political traction, Cannon and Hakata offer a valuable assessment of the prospects for this new strategic geography. In combining the perspectives from key actors across this broad theater with deep theoretical and practical insights, Indo-Pacific Strategies becomes a good pivot to scholars interested in the geopolitical churn that is unfolding in the Eastern Hemisphere.

- Professor C. Raja Mohan, Director, Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore
