Building Confidence in East Asia
About this book
Today's East Asia is experiencing momentous changes in its economic and security profiles, creating a paradox of unprecedented economic dynamism alongside grave politico-security issues that create a lack of trust and threaten to undermine stability. A case to build confidence in East Asia is more urgent now than ever before. In this book, leading scholars suggest ways to enhance confidence in the region through analysis of East Asia's 'trust deficit': disputes in East and South China Seas, maritime CBMs, the impact of economic interdependence on security, and issues concerning identity and values in Asian thinking.
