“…205-206). This interpretation of human security brought it closer to the overseas development assistance which led to some criticisms of Japan's version of human security being a mere "rebranding of international development" (Mahmud, 2023) or "social welfare" (Mine et al, 2019). Furthermore, some scholars believe that a "broader" understanding of human security might "inadvertently undermine the international human rights regime" (Howard-Hassmann, 2012, p. 88) for two reasons: firstly, because human rights become reduced to "a subset of human security concerns" (p. 103), and secondly because the individual standing in the human security discourse is less strong compared to the human rights agenda (p. 111).…”

This chapter starts by discussing the timeliness and significance of the topic of refugee policies and experiences in Japan and Taiwan. It defines two main and interrelated objectives of this volume which are: (1) to further scientific knowledge on the relatively understudied subjects of the acceptance, protection, and integration of refugees and asylum seekers in Japan and Taiwan, and (2) to raise public awareness of their plight in the hope that this promotes positive policy changes. The book attempts to achieve these objectives by examining three aspects of refugee-related issues which correspond to the three main parts of the book: (1) legal and policy frameworks, (2) media representation and public opinion, and (3) lived experiences of refugees and asylum seekers. This chapter proceeds by examining the role of human security as an overarching conceptual framework to help to fulfil both objectives. The subsequent two sections examine the existing refugee regimes in Taiwan and Japan, respectively. This introduction closes by highlighting the contribution of each chapter to the main ideas of the volume.

“… 20 The limitation of human security as a category of research ( Paris 2001 ) has not affected the proliferation of human security studies. In the Asian context, the narrow-broad debate has catalyzed a multitude of conceptual and empirical research ranging from the narrow realm of freedom from fear topics such as the adoptability of R2P by Bellamy and Drummond (2011) to the broad investigation of freedom from want issues and the challenges of mainstreaming human security at national and regional levels as represented by the works of Nishikawa (2010) , Hernandez and Kraft (2012) , Teh (2012) , Howe (2013) and Mine, Gomez, and Muto (2019) . Freedom from want issues such as poverty, natural disasters, health outbreaks, migration, food safety, drug smuggling, and human trafficking are central concerns of many developing Asian countries and because of their more receptive outlook compared to humanitarian intervention may explain the interests and research tendencies of Asian scholars.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every aspect of life, for individuals, communities, nations, regions, and the international system. In this forum, scholars from around the world with diverse areas of expertise consider the contributions of international relations (IR) scholarship in our understanding of the politics and governance challenges surrounding the pandemic. The seven essays that follow together examine how our current state of knowledge speaks to the theme of ISA 2020: “Multiple Identities and Scholarship in a Global IR: One Profession, Many Voices.” Each essay features a research area and body of scholarship that both informs our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and reflects on how the pandemic challenges us to push our scholarship and intellectual community further. Together, these essays highlight the diversity of our discipline of IR and how its many voices may bring us together in one conversation. La pandemia de COVID-19 ha afectado prácticamente a todos los aspectos de la vida para las personas, las comunidades, las naciones, las regiones y el sistema internacional. En este foro, los académicos de todo el mundo con diversas áreas de experiencia consideran las contribuciones de los estudios de las relaciones internacionales (International Relations, IR) a nuestro entendimiento de la política y los desafíos de gobierno que rodean a la pandemia. Los siete ensayos a continuación analizan en conjunto cómo nuestro estado de conocimiento actual aborda el tema de la Asociación de Estudios Internacionales (International Studies Association, ISA) de 2020: “Múltiples identidades y estudios en una IR global: una profesión, muchas voces.” Cada ensayo presenta un área de investigación y un cuerpo de estudios que conforman nuestro entendimiento de la pandemia de COVID-19 y también reflexionan sobre cómo esta nos desafía a impulsar aún más a nuestra comunidad académica e intelectual. En conjunto, estos ensayos destacan la diversidad de nuestra disciplina de relaciones internacionales y cómo sus numerosas voces pueden juntarnos en una conversación. La pandémie de COVID 2019 a affecté pratiquement tous les aspects de la vie, que ce soit les individus, les communautés, les nations, les régions ou le système international. Dans cette tribune, des chercheurs du monde entier spécialisés dans divers domaines d'expertise réfléchissent aux contributions des recherches en relations internationales à notre compréhension des défis politiques et de gouvernance entourant la pandémie. Les sept essais ainsi réunis examinent la manière dont l’état actuel de nos connaissances aborde le thème de la convention 2020 de l'Association d’études internationales : « Identités et recherches multiples dans des relations internationales globales : une profession, de nombreuses voix ». Chaque essai présente un domaine de recherche et un corpus d’études qui éclaire notre compréhension de la pandémie de COVID 2019 tout en amenant une réflexion sur la façon dont la pandémie nous remet en question et nous pousse à aller plus loin dans nos recherches et notre communauté intellectuelle. Ensemble, ces essais mettent en évidence la diversité de notre discipline des relations internationales et la manière dont ses nombreuses voix peuvent nous réunir dans un débat.

“…11 Countries including Japan, Thailand and the Philippines have attempted to redefine human security to avoid confrontation between state sovereignty and humanitarian imperatives by emphasising prevention and sensitivity to local contexts. 12 The view that human security needs to develop towards a more inclusive paradigm in understanding various phenomena of human security has been recognised from the beginning. In this initial view, the reorientation of human security as a new paradigm should not be limited to conflict and crisis when a country is in need.…”

This article examines how state and religious non-state actors understand and make efforts to overcome human security challenges in Indonesia. The activities of these actors are largely outside the UNDP global human security agenda because they have been conducted long before the concept of human security was popularised. The authors seek to reinterpret the concept of human security as a paradigm to make it more attuned to the experience of the state and religious non-state actors when dealing with human security challenges in the Indonesian context. Data from primary and secondary sources gathered in Indonesia in 2021 reveals that religious motivations and environmental threats drive the agendas of religious non-state actors operating in Indonesia. Keywords: Human Security, Religious non-state actor, norm diffusion, UNDP, and Indonesia.
