View Rights PortalIn the wake of 9/11, the Asian crisis and the 2004 tsunami, traditional analytical frameworks are increasingly unable to explain how individuals and communities are rendered insecure, or advance individual, global or environmental security. In the Asia-Pacific, the accepted wisdom of realism has meant that analyses rarely move beyond the statist, militarist and exclusionary assumptions that underpin traditional realpolitik. This innovative new book challenges these limitations and addresses the missing problems, people and vulnerabilities of the Asia-Pacific region. It also turns a critical eye on traditional interstate strategic dynamics. Critical security in the Asia-Pacific applies both a critical theoretical approach that interrogates the deeper assumptions underpinning security discourses, and a human-centred policy approach that focuses on the security, welfare and emancipation of individuals and communities. Leading Asia-Pacific researchers combine to apply these frameworks to the most pressing issues in the region, from the Korean peninsula to environmental change, Indonesian conflict, the 'war on terror' and the plight of refugees. The result is a sophisticated and accessible account of often-neglected realities of marginalization in the region, and a compelling argument for the empowerment and security of the most vulnerable.
Vor der Bäckerei sorgt ein unheimliches Brotmonster für Angst und Schrecken. Noch dazu hat die neue Bürgermeisterin alle Vögel aus der Stadt verbannt – überall lauern nun hinterlistige Vogelfänger! Schnell fliehen die Knallharten Tauben an einen sicheren Ort: ein Haus, in dem Menschen wohnen. Dort wartet ein neuer Fall auf Felsi, denn plötzlich verschwindet der Haustürschlüssel und die Tauben sind eingesperrt. Wer hat sich den Schlüssel bloß geschnappt? Auf den Straßen der Stadt übernehmen derweil flauschig-fiese Kaninchen das Kommando. Dann wird auch noch die Bürgermeisterin entführt und zwei weitere Personen verschwinden spurlos. Können die Knallharten Tauben die Entführten retten? Und schaffen sie es, die hoppelnden Eindringlinge aus ihrer Stadt zu vertreiben?
