Changing Security Dynamics is an excellent and timely contribution to the key debates surrounding the evolving regional security order in East Asia. The volume brings together many of the established and now emerging thought leaders on these issues from North America, Asia and Europe. The analysis in the volume is distinguished by a mix of clear theoretical thinking, detailed consideration of the role of the US and China in determining any new or continuing security order, and the manoeuvring of other key states actors in Northeast and Southeast Asia in influencing the emerging strategic landscape. Overall, the volume forms a central work in debating the future permutations of the US 'rebalance' and US-centred regional order and forms essential reading for both advanced researchers and students.
