ConclusionsReviews'As the centre of gravity of global politics shifts to Asia, it is imperative to understand the military dynamic in the region, especially as by most accounts the Asian region remains primed for conflict. Tan's meticulous work on the causes and consequences of an emerging arms race in Asia will go a long way in shaping the theoretical and policy debate on this very crucial aspect of a rising Asia.' -- Harsh V. Pant, King's College London 'Tan has done a great service with this comprehensive, systematic and clearly presented assessment of the remarkable military advances among Asia's highly competitive governments. The region's economic miracle is accompanied by pervasive suspicion and reliance on ever greater military power, prompting security dilemmas and forecasts of increased tension and instability.' -- Robert Sutter,George Washington University, USA 'As the centre of gravity of global politics shifts to Asia, it is imperative to understand the military dynamic in the region, especially as by most accounts the Asian region remains primed for conflict.
