The Studies in Asian Security book series promotes analysis, understanding,
and explanation of the dynamics of domestic, transnational, and international
security challenges in Asia. The peer-reviewed publications in the Series
analyze contemporary security issues and problems to clarify debates in the
scholarly community, provide new insights and perspectives, and identify
new research and policy directions. Security is defined broadly to include
the traditional political and military dimensions as well as nontraditional
dimensions that affect the survival and well being of political communities.
Asia, too, is defined broadly to include Northeast, Southeast, South, and
Central Asia.
Designed to encourage original and rigorous scholarship, books in the
Studies in Asian Security series seek to engage scholars, educators, and
practitioners. Wide-ranging in scope and method, the Series is receptive
to all paradigms, programs, and traditions, and to an extensive array of
methodologies now employed in the social sciences.
