Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Ang describes the development of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA), an important security regional arrangement, from its inception to the present from the perspectives of the five FPDA allies.
The book recounts the establishment of the FPDA in 1971 from the Anglo-Malaysian Defence Agreement and its development in the first 20 years to the end of the Cold War in 1990. Based on declassified archival documents and secondary literature, it explores how the FDPA has evolved and adapted to provide different benefits to each of its partners after the Cold War. Ang contextualises the FPDA within existing scholarship and offers a glimpse into possible future trajectories.
A valuable resource for scholars, students, researchers, and professionals interested in international history, defence, and security.
?With great powers now declining and rising, there is an urgent need to better understand how multilateral security organisations can form, function and persist in Asia. This detailed and authoritative examination of the Five Power Defence Arrangements uses archival research to provide a fresh perspective on an under-studied institution. It will be of great use to policymakers, diplomatic historians, and scholars of alliance politics.?
Iain Henry, Senior Lecturer, Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University
"The durability of consultative arrangements conceived in the context of the British withdrawal East of Suez remains a great puzzle. Ang Cheng Guan addresses it heads on in his remarkable historical study of the FPDA. This book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the FPDA?s ability to adjust to evolving circumstances and its ongoing relevance in the Southeast Asian security architecture."
Ralf Emmers, Professor in International Politics of East Asia, SOAS University of London
"Professor Ang Cheng Guan?s detailed and excellent study of the Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA) is an important statement about the significance of enduring defence instrumentalities for regional security. Ang shows us persuasively that the FPDA, despite its weaknesses, is still highly relevant as a minilateral confidience-building measure in managing conflict in our turbulent geopolitical times."
Johan Saravanamuttu, Professor Emeritus, Science University of Malaysia
