Book Synopsis Peacebuilding in the Asia-Pacific by : Carmela Lutmar
Download or read book Peacebuilding in the Asia-Pacific written by Carmela Lutmar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores theories of conflict and peacebuilding and applies them to case studies from the Asia Pacific region, seeking to shift attention to the inherency of conflict, the constant danger of re-emergence, and the need to establish mechanisms to resolve it. The authors argue that the central focus of peacebuilding should not be state-building per se, but rather the creation of effective mechanisms for peaceful resolution of both past and newly emerging conflicts. To do so, it is important to consider the entire process of creating peace, to contemplate the linkages between conflict, resolution, and post-conflict peacebuilding, rather than focus only on the period of institution-building.

Download or read book Mediation in the Asia-Pacific Region written by Dale Bagshaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines mediation in connection with peacebuilding in the Asia-Pacific region, providing practical examples which either highlight the weaknesses within certain mediation approaches or demonstrate best-practice. The authors explore the extent to which current ideas and practices of mediation in the Asia-Pacific region are dominated by Western understandings and critically challenge the appropriateness of such thinking. Featuring a range of case studies on Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Vietnam, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, this book has three main aims: To challenge dominant Western practices and ways of thinking on mediation that currently are being imposed in the Asia-Pacific region; To develop culturally-fluent and socially just mediation alternatives that build upon local, traditional or religious approaches; To situate mediation within ideas and practices on peacebuilding. Making a unique contribution to peace and conflict studies literature by explicitly linking mediation and peacebuilding practices, this book is a vital text for students and scholars in these fields.

Book Synopsis Peace and Security in the Asia-Pacific by : Sorpong Peou
Download or read book Peace and Security in the Asia-Pacific written by Sorpong Peou and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrating that none of the various perspectives under review has emerged as the clear winner in the struggle for theoretical hegemony in security studies, this book shows that eclectic perspectives, like democratic realist institutionalism, can better explain peace and security in the Asian Pacific. The Asian Pacific has emerged as one of the most important regions in the world, causing scholars to pay increased attention to the various challenges, old and new, to peace and security there. Peace and Security in the Asia-Pacific: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive, critical review of the established theoretical perspectives relevant to contemporary peace and security studies in the light of recent experiences. Illuminating ongoing debates in the field, the book covers some 20 theoretical perspectives on peace and security in the Asian Pacific, including realist, liberal, socialist, peace and human security, constructivist, feminist, and nontraditional security studies. The first section of the book discusses perspectives in realist security studies, the second part covers perspectives critical of realism. The author's goal is to assess whether any of the perspectives found in nonrealist security studies are capable of undermining realism. His conclusion is that each theoretical perspective has its strengths and weaknesses, leaving eclecticism as the best way to understand the region's dynamics.

Book Synopsis Diminishing Conflicts in Asia and the Pacific by : Edward Aspinall
Download or read book Diminishing Conflicts in Asia and the Pacific written by Edward Aspinall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the 2005 Human Security Report, scholars and policy-makers have debated the causes, interpretation and implications of what the report described as a global decline in armed conflict since the end of the Cold War. Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, this book analyses the causes and patterns of this decline. In few regions has the apparent decline in conflict been as dramatic as in the Asia-Pacific, with annual recorded battle deaths falling in the range of 50 to 75 percent between 1994 and 2004. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, this book looks at internal conflicts based on the mobilization of ethnic and nationalist grievances, which have been the most costly in human lives over the last decade. The book identifies structures, norms, practices and techniques that have either fuelled or moderated conflicts. As such, it is an essential read for students and scholars of international relations, peace and conflict studies and Asian studies.

Download or read book New Paradigms of Peace Research written by Asia Pacific Peace Research Association. Conference and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are now observing a shift of the center of gravity, or the "engines" of human activities, from the Atlantic to the Asia-Pacific. Industrial productions, political conflicts, and militarization in the Asia-Pacific draw global attention. Additionally, so are intellectual, academic activities. The field of peace research theories and practices in this region have their own contributions. Gandhi's legacies and inspirations in the fields of economic globalization, peace education, and constitution are as relevant and important as ever. The lessons of the disasters of 3/11 in Japan echo Gandhian concerns. Conflict transformations and reconciliations in the region, such as ones between China and Japan, pose a big challenge. This book presents new paradigms in peace research that will be of interest to many readers.
