内容説明

This study addresses the dearth of critical and/or post-positivist perspectives in security studies of and about the Asia-Pacific region. It demonstrates how regional communities of security specialists and intellectuals, including knowledge communities such as ASEAN Institutes of Strategic and International Studies (ASEAN-ISIS) and the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific (CSCAP) have contributed to just such a state-centric, political imaginary at the expense of alternative ideas while promoting and legitimizing their own identities as authorities on regional security.
