Global Power Shifts and Strategic Transition in Asia

N.S. Sisodia and V. Krishnappa

The contemporary strategic environment is increasingly shaped by the rapid growth of major Asian economies and the growing interest of global powers in the region. These developments have contributed to a perceptible shift in global power towards Asia, making it important to understand how major Asian powers and external actors are responding to the changing strategic landscape.

This volume examines the emerging strategic context in Asia and its implications for peace and security in the 21st century. It explores how globalisation, economic interdependence and the spread of technology are shaping regional dynamics, while considering what the rise of Asia means for global peace and stability.

Featuring contributions from experts in international relations and strategic studies, the book discusses regional perspectives, common threats and challenges, transnational security concerns and the prospects for greater cooperation among states.
