Abstract:
|
From p. 2:
"This paper presents the potentials of civil-society based processes and structures in fostering regional and global cooperation. This is located in the context of the environmental domain, particularly in the security implications of governing the forests in Southeast Asia, as a common property resource. It explores the role which civil society plays in social transformation to serve as impetus for policy change not only within states, but also across and between states. It also problematize the nature of most security studies as focused on state actors, and explores the possibility for a more expanded role of non-state, sub-national actors. The focus on forests in Southeast Asia is warranted by the growing importance of environmental concerns in security discussions, as well as the strategic importance of the region."
