<br/><br/> The concern of this discussion paper is understanding the points of conflict that Asia is most likely to  <br/>                            face as a region. ‘Flashpoint’ is the central concept of analysis in looking at geographical areas <br/>                            where there is potential for sudden and violent conflict to erupt. This paper is guided by three <br/>                            main questions. First, how likely is a major power war to erupt in Asia today? Second, if conflict <br/>                            erupts, where is it most likely to originate? Third, and most importantly, what can be done to <br/>                            prevent major power conflict breaking out in Asia? It argues that different methods are needed for <br/>                            the management of these flashpoints. Yet while each of the flashpoints are distinct and different, <br/>                            it could also be argued that there must be efforts to try to anticipate how conflict might erupt in <br/>                            Asia, particularly among major powers. A necessity exists to understand the subtle differences <br/>                            and the interconnections between these flashpoints considering the risk for conflict.<br/>
