As the twelfth most populous nation, the Philippines' diverse
religious and ethnic population makes it an ideal example of the
changing tenet of what is deemed national security-post 9/11.
Issues previously considered social or public are now viewed as
security issues. Food production is now analyzed in the context of
food security and environmental degradation is now a part of
environmental security. This broadened perspective is not unique to
the Philippines, but-thanks to the island nation's long struggle
with issues of Muslim radicalism, democracy, and globalization-it
serves as a model worth studying. And no one is better positioned
to take on this study than Rommel C. Banlaoi, Chairman and
Executive Director of the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence,
and Terrorism Research. In Philippine Security in the Age of
Terror: National, Regional, and Global Challenges in the Post-9/11
World, Banlaoi illustrates the increasing complexity of the issues.
Divided into three sections, the book explores why a nation's
security can no longer be just about its military or only about
what is happening within its borders. Section I reviews issues
specific to the Philippine people, including politics, national
identity, globalization, and local and military security. Section
II moves to bilateral security issues to report on security
interests and collaborations with the United States, China, and
Australia-as well as with India, Japan, and Russia. Section III
examines selected global, regional, and multilateral issues such as
maritime security, piracy, and the ASEAN Regional Forum. The
comprehensive approach and coverage within the book reflects the
author's diverse interests as a scholar of politics, security,
terrorism, and international relations. More importantly, it
documents an intellectual journey that national policymakers across
the world need to consider if they hope to achieve the shift in
thinking that will promote the well-being of the world's
populations as the strategic centerpiece of any war on terrorism.
