East Asia imperilled: transnational challenges to security - Cambridge, UK: Cambridge Univ Press, 2001 - 336p.

Argues that non-military threats are likely to be increasingly important to the security of East Asia. Describes the problems that could arise from scarcity of environment and resources (growing populations, deforestation, climate change, loss of agricultural land, food and water shortages), from unregulated population movements (ethnic conflict, people smuggling, refugees), and from transnational crime, drug trafficking, and AIDS.
