Against the backdrop of global COVID-19 pandemic setbacks, this
edited volume is a timely contribution to revisit the comprehensive
framing of human security and development by examining the
protection-empowerment nexus applied to different vulnerable groups
and populations affected by the pandemic. While much of today’s
human security literature focuses on the concept of protection from
states, this book provides new perspectives on the human security
concept by exploring empowerment from theoretical and practical
perspectives. It also encourages readers to reconsider the agency
of vulnerable populations in dealing with the challenges posed by
the pandemic. Examining eight case studies from Southeast Asia and
Japan, the contributors to this book concentrate on demonstrating
the importance of empowerment in enriching our understanding of
human security. They focus on vulnerable groups’ and
communities’ responses to diverse threats to their lives,
livelihoods and dignity. These cases include key human security
concerns, such as an ageing society, poverty, environment, food
security, forced migration, gender, health, peace and justice –
all compounded and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. An
essential resource for students and scholars of human security in
the aftermath of COVID-19 and its wider impacts. The Open Access

This book - through a collection of case studies covering Southern
and East Africa, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Southeast
Asia - offers insights into the nature of social exchanges between
Africa and Asia. In the age of the 'Rise of the South', it
documents the entanglements and the lived experiences of African
and Asian people on the move. Divided into three parts, the authors
look at Asians in Africa, Africans in Asia, and the 'connected
histories' that the two share, which illuminate emerging and
historical modalities of Afro-Asian human encounters. Cornelissen
and Yoichi show how migrants activate multiple forms of
transnational social capital as part of their survival strategies
and develop complex relationships with host communities.
This book reveals how the idea of human security, combined with
other human-centric norms, has been embraced, criticized, modified
and diffused in East Asia (ASEAN Plus Three). Once we zoom in to
the regional space of East Asia, we can see a kaleidoscopic
diversity of human security stakeholders and their values. Asian
stakeholders are willing to engage in the cultural interpretation
and contextualization of human security, underlining the importance
of human dignity in addition to freedom from fear and from want.
This dignity element, together with national ownership, may be the
most important values added in the Asian version of human security.
This book takes up a wide variety of human security challenges
beyond the dimension of human conflict, and looks at both natural
and human disasters that the East Asian region faces or is
attempting to resolve. While discussing various human security
issues, the case studies offer practical lessons to address serious
human security challenges in the framework of the ASEAN Plus Three
and beyond. Against the backdrop of multifaceted globalization and
parochial reactions thereto, this book is a powerful contribution
to universal human security.
Draws lessons from history, providing a new cognitive map of the
world, and discusses multiple challenges global citizens will face
in the age of Afrasia, an emerging macro-region.
