New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2008. The book considers case studies of military interventions in East Asia, in particular East Timor, and also explores non-military intervention including international criminal justice in Cambodia. It discusses the relationship of regional great powers such as China and Japan to human security promotion, arguing that it will be better served if these powers engage less in the traditional game of geopolitics and if human security objectives do not work against actors' interests.
