Description

This comprehensive academic work challenges the conventional arms race narrative in Asia by introducing an innovative theoretical framework of interactive arming to explain modern military modernisation dynamics across the region. The author argues that traditional arms race concepts, which assume competitive bilateral weapons acquisitions driven by mutual fear and conflicting interests, fail to capture the complexity of 21st-century Asian defence spending and naval force modernisation. Instead, the book presents a nuanced alternative model that better accounts for the multifaceted motivations behind contemporary military developments in Asia, offering scholars, policymakers and defence analysts a more accurate lens for understanding regional security trends and strategic behaviour.

Key Features

Proposes the innovative framework of interactive arming to replace outdated arms race theory in explaining Asian military developments.

Examines contemporary naval force modernisation across Asia with evidence-based analysis of defence expenditure patterns and weapons acquisitions.

Challenges the assumption that military modernisation in 21st-century Asia is purely competitive and driven by bilateral conflicts.

Published by Routledge as part of the established Asian Security Studies series, providing scholarly credibility and peer-reviewed research.

Offers policymakers and defence strategists a more sophisticated analytical framework for understanding regional security dynamics.
