Product Description
Product Description
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. 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.

I read this book for Non-Traditional Security course, and I found the book is really useful for my research.
Traditionally, the concept of security was limited to military dimension of inter-state relations. Since the end of Cold War, scholar like Barry Buzan and Ole Waever has broadened the concept of security. Efforts by Barry Buzan et al has then created a Copenhagen School that re-conceptualize security wich includes 'Non-Traditional Security' and the concepts of securitization and desecuritization.
This book apply the Non-Traditional Security 'theory' in the context of Asia (South, Southeast and Northeast). The contributors identifies four major shortcomings of securitization theory:
a. It does not address the reason of securitization or 'why securitize an issue?'
b. Securitization theory is lack of empirical research and the indicator of securitization was merely 'speech act'. It does not answer the question of 'how do we know when the issue is being securitized?' the contributors of this book then develop mechanism beyond 'speech act' as indicators of securitization.
c. Copenhagen School tends to be Eurocentric, thus the contributors applies securitization model to Asian context, to examine how securitization and desecuritization works conceptually and empirically in Asian setting.
d. Copenhagen school is not particularly concerned with policy effectiveness and policy implication of securitization and desecuritization.
After identifying the shortcomings of Copnehagen School model, this volumes then contributes in applying securitization and desecuritization by including the questions 'why' and 'how'.
I particulary appreciate Joseph Chinyong Liow article titled 'Malaysia's Approach to Indonesian Migrant Labor: Securitization, Politics or Catharsis?' since it discuss the impact of securitization.
In sum, I recommend this book as it is particulary important for those who are interested in security issues in Asia.
