Zusammenfassung Enduring rivalries recurrently ensnare states in militarized disputes and wars. Steve Chan argues that Asia-Pacific rivalries are likely to be held in abeyance due to decisions by leaders in the region to base their political legitimacy on their economic performance rather than popular mobilization against foreign enemies.
