This article falls into two parts: First, a theoretical introduction to common (or cooperative) security and its military implications, i.e. 'non-offensive defence' (NOD). Secondly, an analysis of the implications for the Asia-Pacific 'region', subdivided into three 'security complexes': North-East Asia (NEA), South-East Asia (SEA) and the Pacific (PAC). Even though the region as a whole (with the partial exception of NEA) is not found to be excessively militarized, some destabilizing trends are identified. Presumably, a switch to NOD would help keep the Asia-Pacific pacific. To this end, a number of concrete suggestions are advanced, pertaining both to the political relations among states and to their military postures, nuclear as well as conventional.
