Globalisation and Economic Security in East Asia: Governance and Institutions

What is the relationship between globalisation and economic security? This edited volume examines this key question through an empirical and conceptual analysis of the East Asian experience.

The contributors to this multidisciplinary volume examine whether the globalisation of the world economy has increased or decreased economic security for states, societies and individuals. They explore the different ways in which state and non-state actors understand the problem of economic insecurity, as well as how policymakers use national, regional and global institutions to help them govern in the interests of economic security. The East Asian region provides rich empirical material for the examination of global capitalism, and the insecurities it generates for societies and individuals.

This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international relations, international political economy of East Asia, globalisation and non-traditional security studies.
