Summary: Asia may be enjoying an economic boom, but it is not at peace. Fortunately Asian states have increasingly come to recognise the role of arms control in limiting the region's conflicts. The contributors to Arms Control in Asia provide the first assessments of how Asian states have approached arms control. They take a realistic look at the problems of controlling such conflicts as those between China and the Soviet Union, the Koreas, Southeast Asians, India and Pakistan. The authors highlight the special types of arms control favoured by Asian states, offering new perspectives on confidence building measures, demilitarisation, and the use of tacit rather than formal agreements. Students of strategy and international politics will benefit from the analysis of new forms of arms control. Asian specialists will appreciate the new analysis of important patterns of Asian international relations.
