This publication examines functional confidence-building across regions. These essays explore how the concept of maritime confidence-building is being developed for the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and South Asia, as well as how maritime CBMs have been utilized by the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia.

The Stimson Center has chosen the format of investigating regional CBMs in a particular functional area because, while we believe that each region must choose its own model, some security concerns can be found in many regions.
