Focusing on East Asia, this collection explores the paradox of
functional regional cooperation in the areas of humanitarian
assistance, disaster relief, and UN Peacekeeping operations, in a
context of increasing regional tensions and threats. East Asia -
comprising the states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
and China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea - is facing a range of human, traditional,
climate and ideational threats. In addressing some of these threats
particularly those arising from climate induced disasters this
region has been able to develop some ad-hoc cooperative practices
that, according to functional logics of regional integration, could
lead to longer term sustained coordinated responses and even
regional partnerships. Similarly, the region is increasingly
contributing to UN peacekeeping operations where these states also
cooperate in the context of an UN-led mission. Yet, despite the
potential for these interactions to lead to greater regional
integration and coordinated action in responding to a range of
security threats, these interactions are increasingly taking place
in a context of animosity both between regional powers and with
extra-regional powers. This edited collection explores these
functional interactions and posits conclusions about the potential
for longer term sustained coordinated action. These papers engage
with a range of theoretical approaches in explaining the patterns
of relations that are present in the region in relation to
humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and UN peacekeeping
operations. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of the Australian Journal of International Affairs.
