Medcalf Rory (Head National Security College) - Indo - Pacific Empire China America And The Contest For The World's Pivotal Region - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The definitive guide to the world's most contested region. The Indo - Pacific is both a place and an idea. It is the region central to global prosperity and security. It is also a metaphor for collective action. If diplomacy fails it will be the theatre of the first general war since 1945. But if its future can be secured the Indo - Pacific will flourish as a shared space the centre of gravity in a connected world. What we call different parts of the world - Asia Europe the Middle East - seems innocuous. But the name of a region is totemic guiding the decisions of leaders and the story of international order war and peace. In recent years the label Indo - Pacific has suddenly gained wide use. But what does it really mean? Written by a globally - renowned expert Indo - Pacific Empire is the definitive guide to tensions in the region. It deftly weaves together history geopolitics cartography military strategy economics games and propaganda to address a vital question: how can China's dominance be prevented without war?
