Conclusion

Chapter

Abstract

The editors of this volume will seek to draw together the threads of the differing arguments presented in this volume. Will the appearance of more submarines in this volatile area prove as dangerous as is often said? To what extent does it represent a “game-changer” within the regional process of naval modernization not just for Southeast Asia but for the whole of the Indo-Pacific region, given rising tensions in the South and East China seas and strategic competition between China and the United States?
