和諧世界與亞太權力平衡：中國崛起的世界觀、戰略文化，與地緣戰略
《和諧世界與亞太權力平衡：中國崛起的世界觀、戰略文化，與地緣戰略》 和諧世界是中國政府在胡錦濤執政期間為了呼應強調中國政治制度與文化優越性的新中國中心主義而進行的世界觀建構。 和 諧世界繼承中國自冷戰以來追求全球體系多極化與建立國際政治經濟新秩序的指導，試圖將亞太發展為美中並立、中國領導東亞的兩極體系。 作為實現此一目標的手段，中國的地緣戰略受其內政導向戰略文化攻勢本質的影響，始終強調武力在國際事務中的重要性與效用，但在行為上則展現出慎重緩圖的特色；而純粹陸權性格的 傳統，以及源自蘇聯的區域控制海洋戰略，則促使其追求將西太平洋島鏈地區作為畫分與美國勢力範圍的戰略緩衝區。 亞太權力平衡因此難以走向和諧世界追求的合 作性均衡，只能朝向以傳統的競爭型權力平衡為基礎的冷和平狀態。

The China-India Rivalry in the Globalization Era
As the aspirations of the two rising Asian powers collide, the China-India rivalry is likely to shape twenty-first-century international politics in the region and far beyond. This volume by T.V. Paul and an international group of leading scholars examines whether the rivalry between the two countries that began in the 1950s will intensify or dissipate in the twenty-first century. The China-India relationship is important to analyze because past experience has shown that when two rising great powers share a border, the relationship is volatile and potentially dangerous. India and China’s relationship faces a number of challenges, including multiple border disputes that periodically flare u...
The Evolution of Operational Art
Broadly defined as the grey area between strategy and tactics, operational art spans the theory and practice of planning and conducting campaigns and major operations aimed at accomplishing strategic and operational objectives in a given theatre of operations. An intermediate link between strategy and tactics has always existed, but a distinct concept that encompasses a systematic and deliberate plan of campaign for major operations is a mere two hundred years old. Based on country specific case-studies, this book describes how the concepts that underpin operational art originated, how they received practical expression in various campaigns, and how they developed over time. The point of dep...
