While not neglecting military dimensions, comprehensive security incorporates other aspects vital to national stability, such as food, energy, environment, communication, and social security. It has been current in Japan since the 1950s, and has been recognized as particularly suitable for eastern Asia, where the powerful states are unlikely to enter into close cooperation along the lines of the European Union. Here scholars from Asia, Europe, and the US explore the issues, rather than the policies, of security in the region. After regional perspectives, they focus on particular countries. The 18 papers are from two conferences held in Hayama, near Tokyo, in January 1998. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
