      abstract = {Security Strategies of Middle Powers in the Asia Pacific  examines what drives the different regional security  strategies of four middle powers in the Asia Pacific:  Australia, Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia. Drawing on  the extant middle power literature, the authors argue that  the regional security strategies of middle powers could  take two forms, namely, functional or normative. A  functional strategy means that the middle power targets its  resources to address a specific problem that it has a high  level of interest in, while a normative strategy refers to  a focus on promoting general behavioural standards and  confidence building at the multilateral level. This book  argues that whether a middle power ultimately employs a  more functional or normative regional security strategy  depends on its resource availability and strategic  environment.},
