This book provides a comprehensive historical and institutional foundation for understanding the shifting power dynamics within the contemporary Indo-Pacific and East Asia. It examines the region's complex security architecture, focusing on the U.S.-led alliance system, ASEAN-centric multilateralism as well as China-led multilateralism, and emerging minilateral networks to explain how regional stability is maintained. The narrative moves beyond a simple overview, tracing the evolution of these institutional frameworks over decades. The chapters explore how the interplay between traditional bilateral alliances and modern diplomatic forums has created a unique security order. Rather than focusing on just one aspect, the text highlights how these different mechanisms adapt to rising tensions and strategic competition. By analyzing the historical roots of these relationships, the volume provides the essential context needed to understand the deeper rivalries shaping the region today. As the first part of a two-volume study, this research establishes the analytical groundwork for understanding regional order. It serves as an indispensable guide for anyone looking to grasp the foundations of great-power competition before exploring the specific Sino-Japanese visions for the future addressed in Volume II.

This volume brings together a diverse group of Australian scholars who offer a range of perspectives on Australian identity and "being Australian" through the lens of food. It addresses the complex nature of Australia's always-evolving culinary landscape where multiculturalism and enduring Indigenous foodways are entangled with settler-colonial legacies. How has Australian food culture been shaped by the way Australians see themselves and by their cultural assumptions and aspirations in an increasingly globalised world? What role do foods from Indigenous and immigrants' cuisines play in Australian culinary identity - how have they been acclimatized and acculturated, interpreted or adapted, adopted and at times co-opted in Australian and global contexts? And how do Aboriginal Australians and immigrants assert their senses of identity through food?

Through its multidisciplinary approach to these and other contemporary debates around food and identity in Australia from both non-Indigenous and Aboriginal scholars, this book makes a unique contribution to the literature on food and food culture in Australia.

This book provides a window into the role and functions of Chinese NPC deputies in grassroots governance. Through case studies, it presents a comprehensive picture of the practice of NPC deputies' groups participating in grassroots governance in four areas: grassroots ecological protection, educational development, road transportation, and community governance.

Uncovers the hidden history of conservation, conflict, and resistance on the Mozambique-Zimbabwe border.

Drawing on rich oral testimonies and archival records, this book examines the impact of colonial wildlife conservation policies on African societies and borderlands. Through this exploration, the author shows how colonial "fortress conservation" policies-game reserves, hunting concessions, and land restrictions-disrupted rural life, fueled grievances, and shaped popular participation in the wars of liberation.

By comparing Portuguese and British approaches across a shared cultural and ecological region, this book challenges conventional colonial divides to reveal how conservation became entangled with nationalism, migration, and survival. Extending into the postcolonial era, it also highlights how projects like the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park carried forward legacies of exclusion under new guises.

Engaging and accessible, this book is essential reading for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in African history, environmental politics, or the complex ties between people, land, and wildlife.

Shows how communities across the Americas transform their grief over murdered and missing trans and non-trans women, girls, and two-spirit people into powerful social movements that challenge state violence and demand justice.

A groundbreaking and transnational examination of gender-based violence, Mourning and Mobilization in the Americas reimagines how we understand the relationship between grief and political action. Lydia Huerta Moreno brings together the work of activists, scholars, artists, writers, and influencers from 1994 to 2023 to chronicle the intersection of activism with the rise of social media and the eventual implementation of legislation codifying woman killing as a crime. Expanding the concept of feminicide to encompass trans women, two-spirit people, and missing and murdered women and girls across the Americas, Huerta Moreno illuminates the deep connections between different forms of gender-based violence across the Americas and weaves together questions of race, class, gender, and immigration status. Through innovative and sensitive analysis of postmortem politics, the book reveals how communities transform profound loss into powerful social movements, from Mexico to Brazil to the United States and Canada and beyond. With a foreword by Sayak Valencia, Mourning and Mobilization in the Americas is a must-read for activists, scholars, and anyone concerned with human rights, revealing how grief can spark resistance against systemic violence and government inaction.

This book offers a theoretical and empirical explanation of the intersection of border, diplomacy, and security, with particular emphasis on the border policies and practices of Nigeria and South Africa in the context of border enforcement, cross-border concessions and agreements, visa regimes, migration control, and refugee policies. Primarily focusing on physical frontiers, particularly borderlands, the author draws on the African realist assumption of African international relations and the lived experience of state and non-state actors to explain the divergence and convergence in the border and security practices of the two states, emphasising African agency and experiential realities in the understanding and framing of the continent's experience. The book also examines the limitations to the effectiveness of the two states' border practices and how such factors impact not only their security landscapes but also the regional 'borderless Africa' agenda in the context of the AfCFTA and the continental-wide Free Movement Protocol.

This book analyzes how Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and China achieved rapid economic development through public policies and technological innovation in East Asia. The work examines the fundamental role of the state and industrial strategies in the process of technological catching-up in these economies. Throughout its chapters, the author explores the historical foundations and economic policies of each country under global geopolitical pressures. The book begins with two chapters addressing the economic rise of East Asia and the main heterodox developmental literatures, followed by four chapters discussing these specific experiences (Japanese, Taiwanese, South Korean, and Chinese), and finally, a comparative conclusion. Finally, the analysis focuses on the role of state-owned enterprises, government planning, and technical bureaucracies in sustaining growth. Written in clear and accessible language, this book is essential for researchers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the role of the state and the lessons of Asian development for the contemporary global landscape.

Since 2015, China has actively promoted "third-party market cooperation" as a new model of international economic engagement. This approach brings together China, advanced economies, and beneficiary countries to jointly develop infrastructure and construction projects, moving beyond traditional bilateral cooperation framework. Official narratives portray tripartite cooperation as a "triple-win" arrangement that combines China's manufacturing capacity, partner countries' advanced technologies, and the development needs of beneficiary countries. While such cooperation promises risk-sharing, resource complementarity, and enhanced project quality, it also introduces new challenges, including higher transaction costs, divergent governance practices, and complex negotiations among multiple actors.

Addressing the central question of why stakeholders choose tripartite cooperation and how three-party collaboration shapes project outcomes, the book makes both theoretical and practical contributions. It integrates transaction cost theory, international relations theory, foreign direct investment theory, and infrastructure natural monopoly theory to advance a novel concept of "semi-internalisation." The analysis provides policymakers, practitioners, and scholars with a framework to understand partner selection, interest alignment, and the evolving dynamics of one of China's significant yet understudied innovations in global economic cooperation

This edited volume investigates the shaping, suppression, and circulation of medical and pharmaceutical knowledge in colonial Goa, situating these processes within the region's political, religious, and commercial networks. Spanning from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century, the chapters trace developments from Garcia de Orta's engagement with local plant-based knowledge to the compilation of herbaria used as medical vademecums across Jesuit global networks. The collection also explores the hybrid medical practices in eighteenth century Goan hospitals, the institutionalisation of medical education, and the contested legitimacy of healing practices during epidemics such as smallpox, plague, and cholera in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than framing colonial medicine as a binary between European and Asian systems under a sanitary regime, the contributors draw on earlier historical layers to illuminate the complexities of medical knowledge production in Goa.
