Rezensionen

"Andrew Tan has provided an incisive and fresh look at Southeast Asia, specifically, the Malay archipelago. His work informs us of the complexities of this sub-region, which contains the world s largest population of Muslims. Andrew Tan explains the varied, interrelated security challenges at work in a clear, comprehensive and analytical manner. This book is the kind of work that makes a real contribution to our empirical understanding and knowledge of this pivotal region" - M.L.R. Smith, Professor of Strategic Theory, Department of War Studies, King's College, University of London

"Malay Archipelago expert Andrew Tan is back.Already the prolific author of a number of scholarly works including an in-depth analysis of America s strategy on global terrorism, Tan has written an impressive explanation of why the U.S. strategy towards the home of the world s largest population of Muslims needs to be founded on a deep appreciation of the existing Malay Archipelago securitycomplex rather than to be approached primarily through the prism of global terrorism.This work needs to be read at the Pentagon, the State Department and the National Security Council." - James E. Auer, Director, Center for U.S.-Japan Studies and Cooperation, Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies
