Books by Ralf Emmers

The security issues confronting Asia are complex. This book brings together regional perspectives from across Asia, to examine how the challenges are perceived and managed; drawing upon the concepts of securitization and desecuritization. It is aimed at those interested in security studies, international relations and development studies.

Addresses the key question: to what extent may the balance of power play a part in such cooperative security arrangements and in the calculations of the participants of ASEAN and the ARF? This work offers an analysis of the inter-relationship between both approaches within the two institutions.
