Item description from seller

Sprache: Deutsch Leineneinband 8;; 488 Seiten; gedunkelter Streifen auf Leinen von abgelöster Etikette, Klappentext auf Vor- und Hintersatz, Bibliotheksstempel Rückseite Haupttitel - sonst gut; - Southeast Asia is perhaps the prime target of the Communist offensive, as the headlines indicate daily. At the same time this highly strategie region is undergoing profound changes, a turmoil which the communists seek to exploit with the many and varied means at their disposal. American policy, centering on the problems of security and stability in a divided world, is perforce deeply involved in Southeast Asia. As the stakes are high, the import of current policy and the alternatives merit close attention. What has been American policy in Southeast Asia? What is it today? What should it be in the coming years? To clarify these questions, this book scrutinizes the evolving situation in Southeast Asia and the response to the challenge posed there. It describes the Communist blocs aims and axtivities in the region - particularly those of the Peoples Republic of China - and the countermeasures devised to meet the threat. It assesses the various alternative courses of action in the range of possible developments from indirect aggression to all-out assault. Searching attention is given to the economic dynamies of stability in Southeast Asia, to U .S. policy in the controversies and diplomacy of the area, and to the problems of indigenous leadership. Difficulties and adjustments in the cohesion of the West are carefully examined, as is also the counterweight potential of India and Japan to Communist China. In seeking to develop a rationale tor American policy in Southeast Asia, Professor Fifield suggests guidelines for making it applieable through different instrumentalities now and in the years ahead. Current problems and conditions of the foreseeable future are set in the perspective of the relatively short period of direct and extensive U.S. involvement in the region. - - -.
