Book Talk – Asian Perceptions of Gulf Security

Gulf stability is coming to play a larger role in the foreign policy calculus of many states, but the evolving role of Asian powers remains largely underrepresented. The new book Asian Perceptions of Gulf Security, edited by Li-Chen Sim and Jonathan Fulton, examines how the evolving Gulf order affects the regional interests of Asian countries by offering a deep dive into the strategic considerations facing policymakers in China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, India, and Pakistan. 

How are leaders in Asian countries adjusting to an evolving regional framework? Will there be coordinated efforts to establish an Asian-centered approach to Gulf stability, or will Asian rivalries make the region a theater of competition? Will U.S.-China tensions force alignment choices among Asian powers?
