'...an excellent book that provides a thoughtful look at Asian security from the perspectives of those in the region. The book utilizes an important theme of how the countries of Asia view the rise of China and Sino-US relations and offers a realistic assessment of the challenges and opportunities for all in the region.' Terence Roehrig, US Naval War College, USA 'This high quality collection of articles addresses timely questions for Asian security and provides a useful insight into the region's security dynamics...Gupta's edited volume is highly recommended to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in area studies, as well as international relations. The accessible style makes this collection also a valuable source on Asian security for the wider public.' East Asian Integration Review
