This book unpacks the organized sets of practices that govern contemporary Asian medicine, from production of medications in the lab to their circulation within circuits and networks of all kinds, and examines the plurality of actors involved in such governance.Chapters analyze the process of industrialization and commercialization of Asian medicine and the ways in which the expansion of the market in Asian medicines has contributed to the inscription of products within a large system of governance, greatly dominated by global actors and the biomedical hegemony. At the same time, the contributors argue that local actors continue to play a major role in reshaping the regulations and their implementation, thus complexifying the trajectory of the remedies and their natures. Examining in particular the plurality of actors involved in governance and circulation, and the converging or conflicting logics actors follow in regard to negotiations and tensions that arise, the book brings a unique multi-layered contribution to the study of governance and circulation of Asian medicines, offering further proof of their fluidity and resilience. Filling a significant gap in the market by addressing circulation and governance of Asian medicines in Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Singapore, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of Asian studies, Asian culture and society, global health, Asian medicine, and medical anthropology.

In The Power of Remainder, Céline Coderey redefines how we understand health, healing, and marginality in Myanmar. Focusing on the Buddhist communities of Rakhine, she explores their rich and diverse "medical repertoire" and argues that this repertoire reflects an intricate interplay of biological, social, cosmological, and political forces.Based on thirty months of fieldwork between 2004 and 2019, this ethnographic study reveals the interconnectedness between plurality, positionality, and efficacy. The necessity for diverse healing approaches is driven not only by the desire to live and thrive, but also by the categorizations and hierarchies imposed on medical practices, knowledge, and people. These categorizations—shaped by governance and nation-building—affect how healers deploy resources and how users access them, ultimately influencing their effectiveness. At the heart of this work lies the innovative concept of "remainder," which reimagines healing as a process of navigating what is left behind, left out, or left unresolved. Far from being merely constraining, these remainders offer a creative space for resilience, adaptability, and hope. This duality—where marginalization gives rise to innovation—positions The Power of Remainder as a bold challenge to conventional understandings of healing.By bridging religious studies and medical anthropology, Coderey dismantles traditional disciplinary silos, showing how the boundaries of medicine and Buddhism are locally constructed, negotiated, and transcended, reflecting and affecting values and therapeutic actions. The Power of Remainder redefines the frameworks through which we view health, agency, and the possibilities of healing.
