Indo-Pacific Empire : China, America and the Contest for the World's Pivotal Region Hardback
by Rory (Head, National Security College) Medcalf
Part of the Manchester University Press series
Hardback
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? -- .
