The Malay Archipelago - namely Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines - has recently risen in prominence as the 'second front' in the war on terrorism. This study argues that the Malay Archipelago constitutes a distinct sub-regional security complex within Southeast Asia due to the existence of patterns of amity and enmity, as well as transnational terrorism linkages.

'The states inhabiting the Malay Archipelago, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore, face a bewildering array of security challenges. These countries vary enormously in size, and they are bound together by history and by a diverse array of ethnic and communal connections. Today, they face potential dangers from each other, from external powers, and from domestic extremists, and they have sought to address these threats partly through national preparedness and partly through multilateral cooperation. Using the useful concept of a regional security complex, Andrew Tan's clear and careful study illuminates the diverse perceptions of these different states and shows how the security of each one remains tightly linked to the conditions and actions of the others. His book is both a valuable survey of this important region and a major contribution to our understanding of regional security.'
