<br/><br/> The rising power of China and India, and the continuing growth of the Asia Pacific economies in general mean that the Asia Pacific region will be the focus of geopolitical, economic, and strategic power in the next half century. The papers in this book arise from an IDSS conference in March 2005 titled "the maritime balance of power in the Asia Pacific". The first section looks at issues and trends in seapower; the second considers the naval doctrines and maritime capabilities of China, India, Japan, and the USA; while the third discusses various aspects of nuclear weapons, missile defence, and non-proliferation arrangements. The concluding chapters assess likely developments.
