This book addresses the up-to-date development and changing features of Economic Security. It corroborates with the concepts, policies and dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region. This book argues that economic security is an important component of national security, albeit it shall go beyond the narrowly defined national security which mainly focuses on military security and national defense. The central argument of this book identifies at least two forms of transcendence of contemporary economic security. The first transcendence is the transcendence beyond the narrow definitions and limited components, while the second one prioritizes the transcendence beyond the level of analysis; the domestic level in particular. Securing economic security is not only a concern of the government (at the national level), but also a major consideration for regional connectivity and its spill-over impact (at the international level), as well as the maintenance of livelihoods of local society, communities and people (at the grassroot level). This book demonstrates the joint efforts of transnational scholarship addressing the up-to-date development and dynamics of economic security in the Indo-Pacific region, through the lens of interdisciplinary perspectives. The contributors of this book include scholars, such as leading senior professors of international politics, international political economy, economics, anthropology, Southeast Asian Studies, research fellows and practitioners, such as a lawyer and a CEO of a start-up enterprise on green energy and carbon solution, foreign policy think tankers, technology think tankers, cyber security expert, and a diplomat (former foreign policy officer from India).
