This book assesses the extent to which an emphasis on national
security and prioritization of state interests has dominated
governance policy-making in Northeast and Southeast Asia, at the
expense of human security, human development, and human rights. The
findings are that in many cases, there are embedded structural
obstacles to achieving human-centered governance objectives in the
region. These relate to the role of the military, historical
authoritarian legacies, and new authoritarian trends. Contributors
examine not only the most obvious instances of military domination
of governance in the region (North Korea with its "Military First"
philosophy, Thailand since the 2014 coup, and Myanmar with its long
history of military rule), but also less well known examples of the
influence of conflict legacies upon governance in Cambodia,
Timor-Leste, and Laos, as well as the emergence of new reservoirs
of power and resources for the forces of authoritarianism.
