Spanning 17 chapters, the book contains theoretical discussions and
case studies from Asia. The book envisages a human security framework
interpreted and situated in the Asian context. It examines how the
concept, as defined by the UN Commissioners, has been integrated into
existing structures of governance in the Asia Region. One of the
chapters on Timor Leste was written by a recent GDS Doctoral graduate,
Dr. Gabrielle Eva Carol Groves.
As the editors explained, “The diversity in the region in terms of
culture, democratic politics, and economic growth within an emerging
regional market, provides a fertile ground for exploring
experimentations with the human security frameworks.”
The book published by Chula Global Network will be available soon from
