Elusive Balances
This book undertakes an in-depth examination of the dynamics of commitment in U.S.-Southeast Asia strategy. Drawing on cases including the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam and Washington’s pivot to Asia amid China’s growing regional role, it constructs an original balance of commitment model to explain continuity and change in U.S.-Southeast Asia policy. Balance of commitment goes beyond balance of power approaches to explains how translating Southeast Asia’s importance in U.S. thinking into actual commitments has proven challenging for policymakers as it requires simultaneously calibrating adjustments to power shifts, threat perceptions and resource extraction. The book applies the balanc...

The Routledge Handbook of US Foreign Policy in the Indo-Pacific
This handbook provides a comprehensive survey of US foreign policy throughout the Indo-Pacific. Home to around 60 percent of the world’s population; most of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies; around half of the world’s states with full nuclear capabilities; and a complicated web of unresolved tensions, disputes, and conflicts, the Indo-Pacific is arguably the most diverse, dynamic, and contested region on Earth. US strategy there has evolved over centuries, with its physical presence going broadly unchallenged since at least the middle of the last century. However, the rapid development and expanding influence of China – alongside the growth of India, Indonesia, Vietn...
The Doctrines of US Security Policy
The practise of outlining principles for the conduct of US security policy in so-called doctrines is a characteristic feature of US foreign policy. From an international lawyer's point of view two aspects of these doctrines are of particular interest. First, to what degree are the criteria for the use of force, as laid down in these doctrines, consistent with the limitations for the use of force in international law? Second, which law-creating effects do these doctrines have? Furthermore, the legal nature of these doctrines remains uncertain. These matters are examined, beginning with the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and taking into account the Stimson Doctrine of 1932, the doctrines of the Cold-War period and the Bush Doctrine of 2002. The Bush Doctrine in particular has generated controversies concerning its compatibility with Article 51 of the UN Charter, due to its principle of preventive self-defence.
1990’lı Yıllar Türkiye-Yunanistan İlişkileri: Dost-Hasım İki Komşu
1990’lı yıllar Türkiye ve Yunanistan için düşmanlık ve dostluÄŸun en çok tartışıldığı dönem oldu. Ege Denizi’nde yaÅŸanan anlaÅŸmazlıklar, Batı Trakya Türkleri ile ilgili geliÅŸmeler, Fener Rum Patrikhanesi’nin ekümen olma çabaları ve kronikleÅŸen Kıbrıs Sorunu bu dönemde iki ülke arasında sık sık gündeme geldi. Yunanistan, Türkiye’ye karşı gizliden teröre destek vererek silahlanmaya devam etti. Batı ile iliÅŸkilerini sürdürürken bir yandan da Rusya’dan S-300 füze savunma sistemi satın aldı. Ä°ki ülke arasında krizler dönemi olarak isimlendirilen 1990’lı yıllarda yaÅŸananlar uzun yıllar hafızalardan silinmedi. Kardak Krizi, Kıbrısâ...
The United States and Southeast Asian Regionalism
The Nixon or Guam Doctrine of 1969 stressed the importance of progress towards regional cooperation and Asian collective security, indicating that Asian countries themselves should take the initiative in creating programs in which the United States could participate. This book analyses the development of United States regional cooperation policy on Southeast Asia and its importance to long-term planning for the region that had been the general aim of successive American post-war administrations. The author demonstrates the link between economic regional cooperation and collective security in Southeast Asia, placing regionalism in an international context by examining the influence United Sta...
