Recenzii

Asia's Security, provides a valuable guide for those looking to make sense of it all . the author provides a crisp, systematic and readable analysis of what really constitutes security in Asia and what (if anything) can be clone to manage it better . Those seeking to understand what is really happening in Asia, where New Zealand's interests are as much engaged as ever, will find this a most useful book.
