Rapid globalization has led to increased flows of capital,
services, ideas, information, and people between countries. As
such, problems and challenges that face one nation often have a
rippling impact throughout the region and globally. The growing
list of cross-border issues cannot be resolved by isolated policy
action at the national or subnational levels. It is essential to
forge strategic alliances at the regional level that support the
development of consolidated approaches for dialogue and action.
This book discusses regional governance mechanisms and
institutional arrangements to respond to emerging cross-border
issues and trends in Asia and the Pacific, such as the movement of
people including refugees and illegal migrants, regional trade
integration for human development, effective and efficient water
management, human trafficking, and health issues focusing on
infectious disease surveillance and response.
While examining the impact of governance on these issues, the
book considers these questions: What are the key cross-border
governance issues in Asia? What are the regional governance
mechanisms to cope with these issues? How effective are the
regional mechanisms and national institutional capacities in
responding to these issues? What factors contribute to the success
or failure of the mechanisms for regional cooperation?
Contributors include Graeme Hugo (University of Adelaide),

Douglass (University of Hawaii --Manoa), Taeho Bark (Seoul National
University), and Mely Caballero-Anthony (S. Rajaratnam School of
International Studies).
