"This book analyses Japan's security policy after the Cold War and engages with the question of whether, since the Cold War ended, Japan has again become a global security player. The contributions to the book explore Japan's security policy by providing a detailed overview of the evolution of Japan's security policy after the Cold War, including the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and the Senkaku/Daioyu Islands dispute. It also reveals the preeminent security concerns of contemporary Japan by delving into regional security issues such as the Layered Security of Okinawa, the increasing nuclear threat from North Korea, and the Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1995-6. The book culminates by discussing security in terms of the essential functions of energy, food, and human security, including an assessment of Japan's energy policy since World War II and an assessment of the impact food security on Japan's agriculture and trade. This book will be of interest to student and scholars of East Asian Politics, Security Studies and the International Relations of the Asia Pacific. It is also a valuable resource for diplomats and policymakers on Japan and East Asia"--

"This book provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of Russia's security policy. Based on extensive original research, including an analysis of official documents, political and military elite speeches, interviews, and reports, and considering the subject from the early twentieth century onwards, the book evaluates how far Russia's security policy is underpinned by "strategic asymmetry" - the acceptance by Russia of its inferior military position, and the pursuit of its strategic aims through the application of a variety of methods, military and non-military, including the manipulation of public opinion, the use of economic leverage and external security approaches - known as Russia's "hybrid war operations" - to gain the advantage over a militarily and economically superior adversary. The book discusses how Russia's security policy has been and is being applied in specific cases, including the present war in Ukraine, the Russian anti-satellite program and Russia's contemporary Afghan policy. The aim of the book is to explain how and why Russia uses different security strategies and methods using these three cases"--

Die sich allmählich entwickelnde europäische Cybersicherheitspolitik soll helfen, vereinbarte Mindeststandards in allen ihren Mitgliedstaaten umzusetzen, und zwar bei Prävention, Abwehrbereitschaft (resilience), Reaktion und internationaler Kooperation. Sie soll nationale Sicherheit befördern, jedoch ohne gegen demokratische Grundprinzipien zu verstoßen und die individuellen Freiheiten über Gebühr zu beschränken. Es ist nicht leicht, beides miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Daher stellt sich die Frage nach den demokratiepolitischen Implikationen der europäischen Cyberpolitik. Wie verhalten sich deren institutionelle Strukturen und Instrumente zu den Anforderungen demokratischen Regierens?

Um dies zu klären, werden zunächst die wesentlichen Herausforderungen für das Bemühen um mehr Sicherheit im Internet skizziert. Daraufhin wird die institutionelle Architektur der globalen Cybersicherheitspolitik umrissen, und die wichtigsten Organisationsprinzipien europäischer Cyberpolitik werden identifiziert. Schließlich wird bewertet, inwieweit diese Architektur mit demokratischen Grundsätzen vereinbar ist, und es werden Vorschläge diskutiert, wie mehr Sicherheit im Internet herzustellen wäre, ohne jene Prinzipien zu verletzen.(Autorenreferat)

Since September 11, 2001, our newspapers have been filled with the 'war on terror'; our governments have mobilised their resources for 'homeland security'; and people everywhere are braced for more terrorist attacks. Yet while the new threat is genuine, we must not lose sight of the continuing security concerns in the Asia-Pacific. Tensions persist on the Korean peninsula, in the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, and in Kashmir. The region is well supplied with weapons of mass destruction and may face an arms race, and there are a range of pressing human security issues. Likewise, the strategic realities of the region remain linked with US power, and with the emergence of China as a key regional player.

The book examines the developing strategic relationships in the region, and clarifies the dilemmas for Australian policy-makers as they try to balance genuine engagement with the region against a long-standing and valued alliance with the United States.

Emerging from discussions between the Shanghai Institute for International Studies and the University of New South Wales at ADFA, Asia-Pacific Security has a particular relevance for foreign-policy professionals and scholars of the region.

'Der vorliegende Bericht analysiert die wichtigsten inneren und äußeren Einflußfaktoren der Sicherheitspolitik Armeniens, das seit dem Ende der militärischen Auseinandersetzungen mit Aserbaidschan um Berg-Karabach (Mai 1994) in den westlichen Medien nur noch wenig Aufmerksamkeit findet, obwohl der nunmehr seit zwölf Jahren akute Konflikt von einer definitiven Lösung weit entfernt ist. Die gesamte Entwicklung Armeniens seit 1988 wird vom Karabach-Konflikt überschattet. Aserbaidschan hat mit einer Wirtschaftsblockade nicht nur gegen das militärisch erfolgreich operierende Karabach, sondern auch gegen das Mutterland Armenien versucht, dieses zur Einstellung seiner Unterstützung für die armenische Enklave auf dem Territorium Aserbaidschans zu zwingen. Trotz verheerender Auswirkungen - zeitweiliger Kollaps der Wirtschaft (Deindustrialisierung), Energie- und Versorgungskrise, demographische Verschiebungen - ist Armenien unbeugsam geblieben.'

The creation of the EU's autonomous security policy in 1999 ended ten years of political conflict. In this book, the policies of Britain and Germany are analyzed as those of 'constrained balancing': balancing US post-Cold War supremacy with the constraints of established security institutions.
