Robert Sutter, George Washington University:
This book features impressive research, a clear and effective framework of analysis, and insightful observations in showing why those concerned with security in Asia must go beyond the headlines of China's rise and the North Korean threats to fully understand the region's security dynamics. Specialists have long known of the importance of non-traditional security issues in the region and the leading role of non-state actors in dealing with them. Now they have a single-authored assessment providing thorough and lucid treatment of the subject that ranks with the best studies on the topic.

Gareth Evans, former foreign minister of Australia and president emeritus of the International Crisis Group:
An intriguing analysis of an underappreciated reality: the extent to which governments and non-government actors are now effectively cooperating, collaborating and responding collectively to a multitude of non-traditional threats to human security around Southeast and East Asia – from natural disasters to health crises to environmental and migration challenges. As Mely Caballero-Anthony makes clear in this lucid, scholarly and comprehensive work, state-centric preoccupation with military threats to national security is not the only game in town.

Amitav Acharya, author of Constructing a Security Community in Southeast Asia:
Mely Caballero-Anthony is a pioneer of non-traditional security studies and this is the definitive book on the subject from a Southeast Asian perspective.
