The security issues confronting Asia are both complex and diverse. Given the increasing trend towards an expanding security agenda beyond the military dimension of inter-state relations, this volume provides an extensive study of emerging non-traditional challenges to this region. New realities and new challenges have come to the fore including environmental degradation, illegal immigration, infectious diseases, transnational crime, poverty and underdevelopment. Drawing upon the concepts of securitization and de-securitization, this book brings together regional perspectives from across Asia to examine how these challenges are perceived and managed. It is a valuable contribution to both security and Asian studies and will be ideally suited to those interested in security studies, international relations and development studies.

Industry Reviews

'A much needed empirically rich addition to the securitization literature. This book is much more than a coverage of NTS in Asia, it develops, problematises and enriches our understanding of the securitization/desecuritization process. The theoretical developments are on their own invaluable but its application to Asia addresses one of the critiques of securitization - that it is Euro-centric - and in so doing this volume helps to elucidate that critique.' Alan Collins, University of Wales Swansea, UK '...this volume is a collection of solid research work which succeeds in bringing together regional perspectives and examining how they are perceived and managed.' Journal of Comparative Asian Development '...likely to pose greater challenge and stimulation to advanced students who would like to srestle with the linkage between theory and practice, and with ideas between the East and West.' Australasian Journal of Human Security '...this is a useful extension of the scholarship on securitization and an interesting set of analyses on a range of understudied challenges in Asian security.' Pacific Affairs '...the volume is an extremely valuable contribution to the study of post-1989 security considerations in Asia. The erudite perspectives presented by the authors respond to a nascent requirement to initiate a process of contextualizing the evaluation of global experiences.' Political Studies Review
