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. This book brings together regional perspectives from across Asia, to examine how these challenges are perceived and managed; drawing upon the concepts of securitization and desecuritization. A valuable contribution to both security and Asian studies, it will be ideally suited to those interested in security studies, international relations and development studies.
