The economic growth of East and South-East Asia in the context of
the global financial crisis has strengthened the view that this
region is emerging in the 21st century as the most economically
vibrant region in the world. With some of the largest economies,
and generally high economic growth rates compared to the rest of
the world, it is unsurprising that East and South-East Asia has
become the subject of global interest. East Asia's rise inevitably
focuses attention on the issue of China's emergence as a regional
and global power. Such a prospect challenges the current status
quo, in which the region is dominated by the USA and its regional
allies, and issues in Sino-US strategic relations have raised
global awareness of the need to understand this pivotal region
better. In addition, the Taiwan issue continues to evoke
nationalist sentiments in China, and North Korea continues to
threaten regional stability. Non-traditional (or alternative)
security issues are also of major importance in the region,
including natural disasters and epidemics, as well as challenges
relating to human rights and governance, transnational crime,
demographic issues, economics and trade and regionalism. This
Handbook aims to offer an insight into these issues. The volume is
divided into two main sections. The first, International Relations
and Security Perspectives, will focus on the international
relations of the region, paying special attention to the key state
players. The chapter contributions will examine the security
perspectives, and foreign and defence policies of these states, as
well as key bilateral relationships. The second section will
examine key Regional Non-traditional Security Issues, including
globalization, transnational health challenges, population growth
and the environment.
