This book explores the volatile and uncertain future of democracies in Asia through typological analysis of the diverse patterns of Asian countries.Detailed analysis and extensive case studies featured throughout this edited volume unveil democracies in the process of being consolidated, such as Taiwan and South Korea; precarious democracies, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; states that are experiencing setbacks and a retreat from democracy, such as Thailand and Myanmar; and finally, states that are still resisting democracy, including China. Key findings articulate that Asian democracies do not follow existing models or patterns—such as that of Western democracy—but are instead lively, emergent works in progress. Environments in which democracy is practiced in Asia reflect local people’s pluralistic imagination of democracy; hence a comparative thematic approach is adopted. Contributors originate from Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand, each presenting regional insights into the unique challenges and movements of their respective nations, from staging protests in Bangkok to military coup in Myanmar.Opening new dialogue in the study of democracy, The Volatility and Future of Democracies in Asia will appeal to students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, international development, democracy studies, and Asian studies more broadly..

Lee and editors bring together a group of international scholars to map the overall landscape of “de-risking” China ─ a concept that drew consensus among the Group of Seven (G7) countries.Divided into three themes of conceptual evolution, national responses of individual Indo-Pacific countries and prospects of success with featured case studies, this groundbreaking work explores the origins and developments of “de-risking” China in a region that will define the 21st century. Drawing on rich findings by different scholars, it demonstrates that a wide spectrum of variations exists insofar as the Indo-Pacific countries’ observance to the concept of ‘de-risking’ China.This is a must-read book for academics, scholars and university students of International Relations and Political Science, as well as those interested in understanding the evolving dynamics of “de-risking” China among the Indo-Pacific countries today.

This book intends to examine the relationship between East Asia and Southeast Asia across three themes: historical perspectives, economic flows of capital and people, and socio-cultural connections. While a substantial number of chapters in the book focus on overseas Chinese (living in Indonesia) and their connections with China and Taiwan historically and contemporarily, they also provide in-depth knowledge of international relationship between East Asia and Southeast Asia.Part One, 'Contending Regional Approaches', consists of four chapters that help readers understand the involvement of East Asia from a historical context. The first chapter on Taiwan before 1975 is followed by a chapter on Taiwan's strategy toward Southeast Asia after the 1980s. The remaining two chapters focus on China-Southeast Asia and Japan-Southeast Asia relations.Part Two, 'Economic Flows of Capital & People', consists of six chapters that mainly examine the flow of capital and people between Indonesia and Taiwan from the colonial period to the present and how this flow changed both societies.Part Three, 'Socio-Cultural Connections', consists of three chapters. This part is a unique contribution to the scholarship that focuses on the transformation of both traditional and popular culture among Southeast Asia, China, and Taiwan by focusing on different agents.

This book addresses the up-to-date development and changing features of Economic Security. It corroborates with the concepts, policies and dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region. This book argues that economic security is an important component of national security, albeit it shall go beyond the narrowly defined national security which mainly focuses on military security and national defense. The central argument of this book identifies at least two forms of transcendence of contemporary economic security. The first transcendence is the transcendence beyond the narrow definitions and limited components, while the second one prioritizes the transcendence beyond the level of analysis; the domestic level in particular. Securing economic security is not only a concern of the government (at the national level), but also a major consideration for regional connectivity and its spill-over impact (at the international level), as well as the maintenance of livelihoods of local society, communities and people (at the grassroot level). This book demonstrates the joint efforts of transnational scholarship addressing the up-to-date development and dynamics of economic security in the Indo-Pacific region, through the lens of interdisciplinary perspectives. The contributors of this book include scholars, such as leading senior professors of international politics, international political economy, economics, anthropology, Southeast Asian Studies, research fellows and practitioners, such as a lawyer and a CEO of a start-up enterprise on green energy and carbon solution, foreign policy think tankers, technology think tankers, cyber security expert, and a diplomat (former foreign policy officer from India).The book contests against two myths. The first is that economic security is exclusively state-centric. This book agrees that the security referent of economic security is mainly the state, that is, the government. Nevertheless, this book argues that the referents should be more than the government by advocating that economic security is also tied up with the international community, especially for the regional communities based on common strategic goals and shared interests. Besides, additional referents to economic security should include private sector actors such as enterprises and companies, and people sectors, such as civil society, local communities and people. The second is to address the new dynamics of the economic security imposed by the strategic currents such as the US-China trade war or Russo-Ukraine War, which triggered the international attention over economic security that is narrowly defined as the crisis for semiconductor chips supply chain resilience.
