This book gathers the work of leading scholars from several
disciplines on fragile regions, especially those regions seeking to
preserve, strengthen or create processes to restore or reestablish
security and effective social and economic management. It tackles
the multifarious issues that shape and affect fragile regions,
drawing upon a wide range of intellectual and methodological
approaches, including such fields as area studies, natural resource
science, biology, environmental and resource economics and
management, and political economy. The volume brings together the
perspectives of a diverse group of contributors from Australia,
China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and the United
States. Managing Fragile Regions: Method and Application addresses
a variety of factors - natural, political, administrative,
legislative, economic, social, and cultural - and examines how they
exert influences on the operational mechanisms of fragile regions,
especially in the contexts of peace and security, economic
development, and environmental management. The volume's nine
chapters cover a wide range of examples of fragile regions and
their challenges. It will be of interest and utility to
practitioners and policy-makers engaged in disaster management and
post-disaster reconstruction. Students, researchers, and other
professionals involved in resource management, regional science,
and environmental science will also find it valuable reading.
