Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, this book analyses the causes and patterns of this decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn few regions has the apparent decline in conflict been as dramatic as in the Asia-Pacific, with annual recorded battle deaths falling in the range of 50 to 75 percent between 1994 and 2004. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, this book looks at internal conflicts based on the mobilization of ethnic and nationalist grievances, which have been the most costly in human lives over the last decade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book identifies structures, norms, practices and techniques that have either fuelled or moderated conflicts. As such, it is an essential read for students and scholars of international relations, peace and conflict studies and Asian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Aspinall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415670314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415670319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Edward Aspinall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136109621503,"sku":"9780415670319","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cf0683f-ea82-4b0b-8c70-5b2877a5e3cb.jpg?v=1770160574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diminishing-conflicts-in-asia-and-edward-aspinall-9780415670319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
