Sustaining a Resilient Asia Pacific Community
Coming out of an established international graduate student conference organized by the East-West Center, this book presents selected papers written by graduate students from different fields of study. After identifying historical or contemporary issues in each field, these papers propose a framework for resolving these issues, whether through global commitment, regional cooperation, national policy, or local knowledge and practice.

We acknowledge this perseverance and try to sustain and disseminate it so that other communities may learn from these practices and experiences.

This book hopes to add to the literature on resiliency by addressing these issues from a multidisciplinary and multilevel perspective.
