Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of 9/11, the Asian crisis and the 2004 tsunami, traditional analytical frameworks are increasingly unable to explain how individuals and communities are rendered insecure, or advance individual, global or environmental security. In the Asia-Pacific, the accepted wisdom of realism has meant that analyses rarely move beyond the statist, militarist and exclusionary assumptions that underpin traditional realpolitik. This innovative new book challenges these limitations and addresses the missing problems, people and vulnerabilities of the Asia-Pacific region. It also turns a critical eye on traditional interstate strategic dynamics. Critical security in the Asia-Pacific applies both a critical theoretical approach that interrogates the deeper assumptions underpinning security discourses, and a human-centred policy approach that focuses on the security, welfare and emancipation of individuals and communities. Leading Asia-Pacific researchers combine to apply these frameworks to the most pressing issues in the region, from the Korean peninsula to environmental change, Indonesian conflict, the ‘war on terror’ and the plight of refugees. The result is a sophisticated and accessible account of often-neglected realities of marginalization in the region, and a compelling argument for the empowerment and security of the most vulnerable.

How have our understandings of security changed over the past decade? What are the dominant non-traditional security challenges we face in the world today?The concept of national security remains contested but our understanding of it continues to evolve as it is shaped by the world around us. From a globally dominant 'traditional' understanding of security during the Cold War characterised by a focus on countries and their militaries protecting their sovereignty to today, where non-military threats such as global pandemics, climate change, energy, to disasters threaten the wellbeing and livelihoods of people, communities, and the environment that form the backbone of society.The global dial has shifted towards a more comprehensive understanding of security that recognises these non-traditional security threats moving the focus away from solely the survival of the state to the empowerment and protection of people and the environment. This shift highlights the experiences of different individuals and communities, from civilians affected by war to irregular migrants moving from one place to the next, and what the world witnesses as efforts to empower and protect people and the environment.Indeed, comprehensive security has a long history in the post-colonial Asia-Pacific. Non-Traditional Security emerged after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. It emerged as a way to recalibrate the ways governments engaged people and communities and developed pathways for countries in the region to cooperate.Non-Traditional Security in the Asia-Pacific: A Decade of Perspectives, an interdisciplinary collection, is essential reading for anyone interested in the developments of security with a focus on the dominant non-traditional security threats in the Asia-Pacific over the last decade — from advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars, to policymakers at the local, national, regional, and international levels.

Book excerpt: After the end of the Cold War, a great number of changes occurred in the Asia Pacific region, not only politically and economically, but also within the security environment. In some ways, the end of the Cold War has not been as kind to the Asia Pacific region as it was to most of Europe. However, it is obviously moving towards a new dimension. For Japan's security strategy to cope with those changes, long range planning and more drastic changes are needed. This paper will evaluate strategic changes in the coming new century and to discuss effective measures to facilitate the peace and stability stressing the significance of the Japan-U.S. security relationship, and a possible security framework for the region. Finally, I will discuss Japan's new security strategy, its basic concepts and the role of the Japan's Self Defense Forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of late, Southeast Asia has come into prominence as the second front in the global war on terrorism following the terrorist attacks on September 11. This extra-regional designation, which initially caused angst and consterration, has given way to the region's participation, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, in the war on terrorism. Events such as the discovery of the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI) network and the deadly Bali bomb attack in 2002 have brought the region into focus as a frontline in the war on international terrorism. As a very significant proportion of world trade and oil traverses the region's vital waterways, there is growing international recognition of the strategic importance of Southeast Asia. Updated and revised, this collection of writings by a well-known expert and advisor on various security and terrorism issues gives the reader an in-depth look at the looming security threats and challenges in the region.

Book excerpt: The term comprehensive security goes beyond simplifications such as us and them; it accounts for all aspects vital to national stability; food, energy, environment, communication and social security. Confidence building methods, preventive diplomacy, energy security, second order cybernetics, transparancy of financial markets are all means to enhance overall stability. Comprehensive Security has become a concept particularly suited for a continent with many powerful countries. An important contribution to one of the key issues of contemporary (Asian) politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of security studies is undergoing a major re-evaluation in the post-Cold War era, and this has important implications for the region. The security dangers of the 1990s and beyond are different and more complex than those of the Cold War, and strategic thinkers both in the academic and policy-making spheres must begin to understand the new environment lest they fall into the old trap of planning for the next conflict based on the conditions of the last conflict. This book is designed to survey the new environment, assessing what has changed and what remains the same, and suggesting what types of demands future strategists will face.
