Robert D Kaplan, Asia's Cauldron: the South China Sea and the End of a Stable Pacific, (New York: Ramdom House, 2014)

Abstract

The book under review by the famous geopolitical analyst Robert D Kaplan focuses on the aspects and territorial disputes in the South China Sea with a cultural and strategic narration. Kaplan starts with the “geopolitical study of the South China Sea with the delectable, mythic legacy of India.” He acknowledges the fact that one must not “lose sight of the vividness of India's presence in this part of the world at a time when China's gaze seems so overpowering.” DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.336710
