This book explains why the idea of the Indo-Pacific is so strategically important and concludes with a strategy designed to help the West engage with Chinese power in the region in such a way as to avoid conflict.

This is the world with all the difficult bits left in.'

Back Jacket

The definitive guide to the world's most contested region
The Indo-Pacific is both a place and an idea. It is theregion central to global prosperity and security. It is also a metaphor forcollective action. If diplomacy fails, it will be the theatre of the firstgeneral war since 1945. But if its future can be secured, the Indo-Pacific willflourish as a shared space, the centre of gravity in a connected world.
What we call different parts of the world - Asia, Europe, the Middle East - seems innocuous. But the name of a region is totemic, guidingthe decisions of leaders and the story of international order, war and peace.In recent years, the label 'Indo-Pacific' has suddenly gained wide use. Butwhat does it really mean?
Written by a globally-renowned expert, Indo-Pacific Empire is the definitive guide to tensions in theregion. It deftly weaves together history, geopolitics, cartography, militarystrategy, economics, games and propaganda to address a vital question: how canChina's dominance be prevented without war?
