(Re)Negotiating East and Southeast Asia: Region, Regionalism, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Studies in Asian Security)
"There are two main reasons for highly recommending this study. First, the arguments advanced here are built on painstaking empirical work based on archival and interview-based study. Second, Ba's book is by far the most incisive study of the unstated rationales that inform ASEAN's founding and continued role in East Asian security . . . With its comprehensive scope, sophisticated arguments, and lucid narrative, this book is essential reading for beginners and scholars alike."—Deepak Nair,Contemporary Southeast Asia
