Abstract
Northeast Asia, comprising China, Japan, North and South Korea, Taiwan and their adjoining waters, is arguably one of the world’s most unstable and conflict-prone regions. Outstanding security risks in the region include the North Korean nuclear crisis, the Taiwan Straits, territorial disputes between China and Japan and between Korea and Japan, as well as frequent skirmishes between China and Korea. Furthermore, China’s growing economic and military prowess continually challenges existing strategic frameworks in Northeast Asia.
I wish to thank Vinod Aggarwal and Min Gyo Koo for organizing the project and arranging the workshops, Jonathan Chow for his assistance in reading early drafts of this chapter, and Kent Calder for his guidance and mentorship.
