This reader brings together key contributions from many of the
leading scholars in the field, offering students an informed
overview of the most significant work in security studies. The
editors chart the development of the key theoretical and empirical
debates in security studies in the Cold War and post-Cold War
periods, introducing the ideas of the most influential past
masters' and contemporary thinkers on security in the UK, US and
elsewhere. The book is divided into five areas: * What is Security?
* Security Paradigms * Security Dimensions and Issues * Security
Frameworks and Actors * The Future of Security. In order to guide
students through the issues, the book has a substantial critical
introduction exploring the development of security studies, as well
as introductory essays that provide an overview of each section,
highlighting clearly how the readings fit together. Suggestions for
further reading and key questions for discussion are also included.
Security Studies is an invaluable resource for all students of
security studies and international relations.
Despite flourishing economic interactions and deepening
interdependence, the current political and diplomatic relationship
between Japan and China remains lukewarm at best. Indeed, bilateral
relations reached an unprecedented nadir during the spring of 2005,
and again more recently in autumn 2012, as massive anti-Japanese
demonstrations across Chinese cities elicited corresponding
incidents of popular anti-Chinese reprisal in Japan. This book
systematically explores the complex dynamics that shape
contemporary Japanese-Chinese relations. In particular, it analyses
the so-called 'revival' of nationalism in post-Cold War Japan, its
causality in redefining Japan's external policy orientations, and
its impact on the atmosphere of the bilateral relationship.
Further, by adopting a neoclassical realist model of state
behaviour and preferences, Lai Yew Meng examines two highly visible
bilateral case studies: the Japanese-Chinese debacle over prime
ministerial visits to Yasukuni Shrine, and the multi-dimensional
dispute in the East China Sea which comprises the Senkaku/Diaoyudao
territorial row, alleged Chinese maritime incursions, and bilateral
competition for energy resources. Through these examples, this book
explores whether nationalism really matters; when, and under what
circumstances nationalism becomes most salient; and the extent to
which the emotional dimensions of nationalism manifest most
profoundly in Japanese state-elites' policy decision-making. This
timely book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
both Japanese and Chinese politics, as well as those interested in
international relations, nationalism, foreign policy and security
studies more broadly.

This book explores the prospects for higher education development
in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. Adopting a
South-South perspective (from the viewpoint of a developing
country), it seeks to promote a deeper understanding of this
colourful and highly diverse, yet volatile region. As such, it
examines six selected MENA countries that serve as case studies for
identifying the gaps and challenges as well as their potentials in
terms of higher education development. Based on expert interviews
and focus-group discussions with more than 85 individuals across
the six countries and complemented by related facts and figures
from both international and national documents, it presents an
in-depth discussion and analysis of the countries' respective
political, security, and economic situations. These serve as
preconditions for the cultivation of an environment conducive to
facilitating the advancement of higher education. It also provides
a critical overview of higher education in these countries, notably
in terms of the current national system, legislative framework,
accreditation, quality assurance, recognition concerns, and other
critical issues that enable and/or constrain the development of
their respective higher education sectors, and that of the region,
as a whole.
