Ebook: New Foundations for Asian and Pacific Security

This volume is based on the addresses, papers, reports, and discussion sessions of an international conference held at Pattaya, Thailand, between 12 and 16 December 1979. The essays, submitted by leaders and scholars from eleven nations - Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of China, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States - seek to focus attention on crucial issues of security and stability in the Asian/Pacific region, an area which has moved increasingly towards the centre of international politics and economic relations. The contents are grouped under four major headings: Political/Military Dimensions of Security in Northeast Asia; Economic Dimensions of Security in Asia and the Pacific; and Policy Proposals and Asian and Pacific Security.
