DESCRIPTION:\n\nWith strategic challenges looming\nlarge in Indo-Pacific to
 day—from China's growing military assertiveness to\npotential&nbsp\;flash 
 points in the Korean Peninsula and the&nbsp\;disputed\nwaters around the E
 ast and Southeast China Seas—one component of the conflict\ncalculus is th
 e comparative strength of the region's military powers.&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\
 n\nA recent report suggested that the\nIndo-Pacific region witnessed the h
 ighest defense spending compared to the rest\nof world. When and how shoul
 d we expect the region's resident and aspiring&nbsp\;military\npowers—Chin
 a\, Japan\, India\, Singapore\, and even Indonesia—to fully realize\ntheir
  military potential depends on how well they have been adopting Western\nc
 onceptions of warfare and military technology. In other words\, how and to
  what\nextent the region is militarily "Westernized" matters in\nunderstan
 ding a wide range of contemporary security challenges.&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n
 \nThis discussion offers preliminary\nfindings from archival research and 
 fieldwork in the US\, UK\, Australia\, and\nIndonesia over the past year&n
 bsp\;examining the different ways in which Western\nways of warfare have&n
 bsp\;historically&nbsp\;spread to the Indo-Pacific through\na systematic&n
 bsp\;comparison of Meiji Japan\, British India\, and Cold War\nIndonesia.&
