“This is an excellent new contribution to the literature on Indo-Pacific international relations. Theoretically grounded and containing rich empirical analysis, it will become a widely used text for students and teachers and a tool for media and policymakers dealing with this vital region of the world.” Amitav Acharya, Professor, American University, USA; author of The Once and Future World Order “This highly accessible and insightful monograph equips students with the tools to critically engage with the evolving Indo-Pacific region. With its broad interdisciplinary perspective—spanning security, economics and development, institutions and questions about culture and identity—the book offers both conceptual clarity and up-to-date regional analysis. It is an ideal resource for courses in international relations and Asian security.” Linus Hagström, Professor, Swedish Defence University, Sweden “I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, Understanding International Relations in the Indo-Pacific, which provides a compact yet comprehensive introduction to the variety of facets of international politics in the Indo-Pacific. The book masterfully gives an eclectic, pluralistic and comparative account of the early history and modern era of the region, its security dynamics, economic development, regional institutions and cultural development. The list of questions at the end of each chapter would undoubtedly trigger lively debates among those interested in the Indo-Pacific discourse.” Dewi Fortuna Anwar, Professor, Research Centre for Politics-National Research and Innovation Agency, Indonesia
