This book contains a collection of cutting-edge chapters that
explore various connections between urban living, sexuality and
sexual desire around the world. The key themes featured address a
number of topical issues including: the controversies and debates
raging around the evolution, defining patterns and appropriate
regulation of commercial sex zones and markets in the urban
landscape how gay public spaces, districts and 'gay villages'
emerged and developed in various towns and cities around the world
how changing attitudes to, and the usage of urban sexual spaces, as
depicted in iconic television series such as Sex and the City and
Queer as Folk, reflect the reality of working women's or gay men's
changing life experiences. With detailed case studies, and a strong
interdisciplinary appeal, this book will be a valuable reference
for postgraduates and advanced students in the fields of cultural
studies as well as human, urban and social geography. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the journal Urban
Studies.
ASEAN has declared its intention to create a security community
in Southeast Asia that is people-orientated. This book evaluates
ASEAN s progress, and in doing so examines three matters of
concern.
The book firstly looks at the importance of constitutive norms
to the workings of security communities, by identifying ASEAN s
constitutive norms and the extent to which they act as a help of
hindrance in establishing a security community. It then moves on to
how ASEAN has interpreted people-orientated as empowering civil
society organisations to be community stakeholders. The book
discusses the uncertainty between how ASEAN envisages their role,
and the role they themselves expect to have. Civil society actors
are seeking to influence what sort of community evolves and their
ability to interact with the state elite is evaluated to determine
what interpretation of people-oriented is likely to emerge.
Thirdly, in order to make progress ASEAN has sought to achieve
cooperation among its member states in functional areas. The book
examines this interest in functional cooperation through case
studies on human rights, HIV/AIDS and disaster management.
By discussing the notion of ASEAN being people-orientated, and
how it engages with the people, the book provides important
insights into what type of community ASEAN in building, as well as
furthering our understanding on security communities more
broadly.

This book contributes conceptually, theoretically and morally to a
deeper understanding of the distinctive Asian perceptions of
punishment, justice and human rights. Researched and prepared by
scholars who have not only been conducting studies on the death
penalty in the region but have also been advocating for legal
reforms, this edited book touches upon the different justifications
for the use of capital punishment in the ASEAN region, exposing the
secrecy, sensitivities and dilemmas that mask violations of
international human rights laws. The chapters bring in numerous new
perspectives which have been overlooked in the traditional
discourse surrounding the use of the death penalty, such as that
around crimes that do not meet the threshold of “most seriousâ€;
the dignity of death row inmates and their families; contradictions
within religion and capital punishment; and the way in which
growing authoritarianism and the media are adversely influencing
the public’s perception and support for capital punishment in the
region. In examining how public opinion shapes state policies
towards the death penalty and how it varies according to different
offences and different states, the authors critically analyse how
the international human rights mechanisms have specifically called
for ASEAN member states to refrain from extending the application
of the death penalty and to limit it to the “most serious
crimes.†Relevant to socio-legal scholars focused on crime and
punishment in Southeast Asia, and in the Global South more broadly,
this is a landmark collection in criminology and human rights
scholarship. Chapter "ASEAN and the Death Penalty:

Supranational regionalism and regional integration have for a long
time been top-down processes, led by the few and imposed on the
many. The role of citizens, especially those active in civil
society, has been neglected by scholars, students, and commentators
of regionalism. In reaction to the prevalence of these top-down
models, a "new regionalism" approach has proliferated in the past
few years. This book aims to further develop such a research agenda
by providing an up-to-date overview of the contribution of civil
society to world regionalism, from Europe to Africa, Asia, and the
Americas. This is not only relevant as a research topic; it is also
of critical importance from a political standpoint. As regions
across the world experience prolonged governance crises, it becomes
paramount to understand the extent to which these new regional
formations actually reflect the interests and needs of their
people. While old regionalism was accepted as a de facto
elite-driven byproduct of both the Cold War and neoliberal
globalization, the twenty-first-century regionalism-if it is to
survive-will need to refocus its objectives through new forms of
participation and inclusion. Regions without citizens are unlikely
to stand the test of time, especially in times of crises.
