The momentous changes in the USSR since 1985, which led to the ending of the Cold War in Europe, have provoked new interest in policy and academic circles about the future security order in the Asia-Pacific region. In essence the emerging debate has focused on the prospects for some kind of region-wide, political security dialogue and the promotion of arms control. It is in this debate that the author considers ways in which ideas and assumptions about 'defensiveness', often associated with the broader concept of common security, figure in the regional conversation about future security arrangements and the resolution of regional security problems.
