Small Powers and Trading Security

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the intricate relationship between security and trade for small powers in East Asia, specifically Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. It highlights how security threats shape trade activities and the complexities arising from these connections. The author argues that while linkages can enhance security, they also introduce new risks, suggesting that these nations are essentially trading their security for economic benefits. This analysis is particularly relevant for political scientists, economists, and experts in security and trade.
