This edited book examines the contemporary regional security
concerns in the Asia-Pacific recognizing the 'Butterfly effect',
the concept that small causes can have large effects: 'the flap of
a butterfly's wings can cause a typhoon halfway around the world'.
For many Asia-Pacific states, domestic security challenges are at
least as important as external security considerations. Recent
events (both natural disasters and man-made disasters) have pointed
to the inherent physical, economic, social and political
vulnerabilities that exist in the region. Both black swan events
and persistent threats to security characterize the challenges
within the Asia-Pacific region. Transnational security challenges
such as global climate change, environmental degradation,
pandemics, energy security, supply chain security, resource
scarcity, terrorism and organized crime are shaping the security
landscape regionally and globally. The significance of emerging
transnational security challenges in the Asia-Pacific Region impact
globally and conversely, security developments in those other
regions affect the Asia-Pacific region.
