"...this volume is very comprehensive and systematic in presenting the issues of arms transparency and defence-related matters in Southeast Asia. Most of the authors contributing to this book are those who have been involved not only in research activities on the subject, but also in various networks, particularly in the so-called second track diplomacy, actively providing analysis and policy recommendations on the related issues. This makes this volume a valuable contribution to our understanding of security issues in Southeast Asia." Edy Prasetyono, Centre for Strategic and International Studies, Jakarta. Contemporary Security Policy, April 1999 Vol 20 Issue 1
