Asia Pacific: stability and strategic transformation?
The Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific Regional Security Outlook (CRSO) 2016: Can the Asia Pacific region preserve order and stability while managing a strategic transformation?
The assessments assembled in this volume edited by Ron Huisken and Olivia Cable broadly confirm the judgement that the Asia Pacific continued over the past year to deplete its most precious asset: the confident expectation that the region could preserve order and stability while managing a strategic transformation of historic proportions.
Inaugurated in 2007, this is the ninth annual CRSO volume. The CRSO brings expert analysis to bear on critical security issues facing the region and points to policy-relevant alternatives for Track One (official) and Track Two (non-official) to advance multilateral regional security cooperation.
