    Destined Statecraft

    Eurasian Small Power Politics and Strategic Cultures in Geopolitical Shifts
    Pak Nung Wong
    978-981-10-6563-7
    2018
    Edition 1
    • Calls for a strategic paradigm shift which warrants the re-thinking of international relations through the eyes of the small powers. It incorporates the relevance and applicability of the diverse Western and non-Western strategic traditions into the increasingly multi-polarized international security reality
    • Draws on empirically grounded case studies from a range of Asian and European countries to illustrate the international dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region, the Indian Ocean and Europe
    • Lucid, straightforward and accessible writing style for not just the academic audience and students, but also policy-making circles
    • Engaging with the post-2010 global geopolitical context wherein former U.S. President Barack Obama’s signing the ‘pivot to Asia’ policy coincided with the Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, and the incumbent U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ statecraft agenda
    • As an empirical attempt to substantiate Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of ‘habitus’ to the field of international relations, it argues for African-Asian critical realism as a plausible theory for guiding small power statecraft
    • Focuses on how selected African, Asian and European small powers have responded to, coped with, survived and thrived in the great power competitions between the U.S., Russia, China and the European Union since World War II
    • Examines the relevance and applicability of diverse Western and non-Western strategic cultures to contemporary geopolitics and statecraft in Europe and Asia by tracing them to their ancient and contemporary historical contexts
    • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
