The Indo-Pacific is arguably the most important and most dynamic region in the world today, with numerous opportunities and challenges. This book covers major security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. Both traditional security challenges such as border and maritime disputes, arms races, weapons of mass destruction and sovereignty, and non-traditional security challenges such as demography, public health, climate change and the environment are addressed.
Contributors who hail from Australia, China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, the United States, Vietnam, and elsewhere carefully examine key security challenges facing some individual countries or the region as a whole and discuss policy implications moving forward.

'Security Challenges in Contemporary Indo-Pacific grapples with the myriad flashpoints in the region with depth and creativity. Its treatment of non-traditional security issues such as extremism, environmental degradation, global health and food security is especially valuable, given the multiple perspectives that are represented and the salience of these issues in people's daily lives. This book provides important background and thoughtful recommendations on how countries in the region can cope with coming crises and changes.' - Susan A ThorntonSenior Fellow and Visiting LecturerPaul Tsai China Center, Yale University Law School 'In this impressive new volume, Zhiqun Zhu leads an eclectic group of interdisciplinary scholars from Asia and the United States to address both traditional and non-traditional dimensions of security in the Indo-Pacific. Moving beyond the idea of great power rivalry and geopolitical competition, Security Challenges in Contemporary Indo-Pacific pushes the boundaries of how scholars and policymakers should think about regional security for both state and non-state actors.' - Andrew YeoSenior Fellow and SK-Korea Foundation Chair, Brookings Institution andProfessor of Politics, The Catholic University of America 'This, to-date, is the most insightful and comprehensive book on the security challenges in the contemporary Indo-Pacific. It analyses the roles of the great powers, the three potential hotspots in the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, and non-traditional security issues such as climate change, energy, public health and food. The book offers multiple perspectives from top scholars based in the United States and Asia. It is like a sumptuous ala carte where there is something interesting and good for everyone to pick and choose. Indeed, they will be spoiled for choice.' - Lam Peng ErPrincipal Research Fellow, East Asian InstituteNational University of Singapore 'This book is a timely work that brings together an impressive group of authors from throughout the region to address a broad array of issues from state-on-state flashpoints to non-traditional concerns. The security challenges facing the Indo-Pacific are becoming ever more difficult and complex so that a book of this depth and scope will be most helpful in understanding the region's security environment and helping to manage these challenges in the years ahead.' - Terence RoehrigProfessor Emeritus, US Naval War College andLecturer, University of Wisconsin 'This volume divides the challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region into three categories: big powers, 'hotspots', and non-traditional security issues. The division serves to effectively migrate discussions on the Indo-Pacific away from great power competition towards a more comprehensive and non zero-sum view of this rapidly changing region.' - Stephen NagyProfessor of Politics and International StudiesInternational Christian University, Japan
