About the product

Going beyond military threats and state-centric analysis, this volume demonstrates the importance of a broad security agenda that incorporates political, economic, social, and environmental dimensions as well as the many linkages between them. It applies non-traditional security perspectives to a range of human challenges across Asia, in the hope of encouraging a security discourse where people are at the vital core. It also explores the potential conceptual and operational benefits of non-traditional security thinking in a continent confronted by both conventional and non-traditional security challenges.
