Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, this book analyses the causes and patterns of this decline. In few regions has the apparent decline in conflict been as dramatic as in the Asia-Pacific, with annual recorded battle deaths falling in the range of 50 to 75 percent between 1994 and 2004. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, this book looks at internal conflicts based on the mobilization of ethnic and nationalist grievances, which have been the most costly in human lives over the last decade. The book identifies structures, norms, practices and techniques that have either fuelled or moderated conflicts. As such, it is an essential read for students and scholars of international relations, peace and conflict studies and Asian studies.

Conclusion: Lessons Edward Aspinall, Robin Jeffrey and Anthony Regan ________________________________ Comment on the book by Anthony Regan, co-editor "This publication demonstrates the strength of interdisciplinary research toward a singular concern - in this instance, conflict. One of the real strengths of the book is that each author, whilst writing about conflict, is an acknowledged international expert in the case study that they discuss. The volume is applicable to practitioners, policymakers, and academics, and highlights the deep academic knowledge on this issue that resides at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific".

On 27 November 2012, Senator Bob Carr, Australia's Foreign Minister will launch a new book /Australia 1942: In the Shadow of War/, edited by Dr Peter Dean of ANU's Strategic & Defence Studies Centre. In 1942, the shadow of modern war reached Australia?s shores for the first time. In this compelling volume, leading historians explore why 1942 was such a pivotal year in Australia?s history, and explain how the nation confronted some of its greatest challenges. This broad ranging study covers key issues from political, economic and home front reform to the establishment of a new partnership with the United States; the role of the Air Force and the Navy; the bombing of Darwin; as well as the battles of Kokoda, Milne Bay, the Beachheads and Guadalcanal. /Australia 1942/ provides a unique and in-depth exploration of the controversy surrounding the potential for invasion. Japanese and Australian historians offer perspectives on Japanese military intentions and strategies towards Australia and the south Pacific. Generously illustrated, it is essential reading for anyone interested in one of Australia?s most decisive and critical years. *Due to event location at Parliament House, RSVP's are essential.* Please RSVP here . *Speaker/Host*: Senator Bob Carr *Venue*: Parliament House, Canberra *Date*: Tuesday, 27 November 2012 *Time*: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM *Enquiries*: Andrew Carr on 6125 1164 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
