Land and Disaster Management Strategies in Asia
This book focuses on land and disaster governance in Asian countries. The Asian region has become increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters, including floods, cyclones, storms, earthquakes, drought, typhoons and tsunamis. Further, as a result of unsustainable changes being made in patterns of land use, catchment and coastal zones, increasing population density, migration patterns, and the spread of consumer culture across countries, the impact of natural disasters has increased manifold. The book addresses two major concerns in this field. Firstly, it discusses topics intended to raise awareness among all stakeholders of the critical aspects of disaster management in the context of Asia. Secondly, it calls upon policymakers, researchers, academics, practitioners, private enterprises and civil society organizations, as well as all those who have been, are and will be affected by natural disasters to search for innovative and novel approaches to reducing risk and managing disasters.
Strategic Disaster Risk Management in Asia
This book presents strategies for managing disasters and reducing risks in Asian countries. Given the dynamic changes in the natural environment as well as the patterns of land use and management, the growing populations of the developing nations in Asia, migration patterns, and other social-cultural aspects, the impacts of disasters have increased manifold in Asian countries. Against this backdrop, the book examines disaster management issues such as disaster preparedness, post-disaster reconstruction, peace, development and corruption. The views of different groups of stakeholders are incorporated in the discussion to ensure a comprehensive analysis of and findings on the governance proces...
Consolidating Democracy
This book assesses democratic resilience and challenges in (relatively) newly emerging democracies in the Asia-Pacific, which are simultaneously important case studies as newly emerging middle powers. Across all dimensions and measurements, South Korea and Indonesia are consistently the most salient case studies to consider. The two case studies are compared across three sections. First, the relationship between economic development and democratic resilience in Indonesia and South Korea. Second, nature of political culture and societal constructs in the two case studies. The final section looks at the potential peculiarities of the two case studies, which are seen as uniquely challenged: Indonesia by religious persecution and South Korea by political populism. Certainly, democratization is a long and difficult process. This book provides insight into how the two countries have embarked on similar democratization projects. It also delineates the successes and failures from which valuable lessons on democratization can be drawn.
Akses Keadilan dan Migrasi Global
Mereka diinginkan karena beragama sama, rajin bekerja, patuh, dan mau dibayar murah. Akan tetapi dalam waktu yang sama mereka ditempatkan sebagai orang yang berbeda, di-liyan-kan, dilekati stereotipe dan stigma sebagai perempuan murahan, terbelakang, dan bodoh. Mengapa? Karena mereka berasal dari ras, etnik, nasionaliti, kelas yang berbeda, dan perempuan! Tanah Arab sebagai tujuan kerja memang menjadi pilihan mereka, karena berbagai harapan yang terkait dengan identitas religiositas. Tanah Arab dipandang sebagai Tanah Harapan, Tanah Suci, Namun mereka sama sekali tidak memiliki pemahaman tentang konteks sosial dan budaya Arab, suatu pengetahuan yang sangat penting sebelum berangkat. Di sampi...

Indonesia dan COVID-19
Sudah lebih dari enam bulan sejak ditemukannya kasus pertama di awal bulan Maret 2020, Indonesia bergelut dengan wabah virus korona atau sering disebut COVID-19. Penyebaran virus ini secara nasional maupun global semakin mengkhawatirkan. Bahkan, di beberapa negara, yang pada awalnya dianggap telah sukses dalam mengurangi angka pasien terinfeksi COVID-19, mulai mengalami penyebaran virus gelombang kedua. Indonesia sendiri sebenarnya sudah melakukan beberapa langkah antisipatif dengan membentuk Gugus Tugas Percepatan Penanganan COVID-19 sejak pertengahan Maret 2020 dan mulai pertengahan Juli 2020 berganti nama menjadi Komite Penanganan COVID-19 dan Pemulihan Ekonomi Nasional. Meskipun begitu, ...

Climate Change Management
This book focuses on special issues of climate change management in Asia. It discusses the challenges of climate change governance, and examines the impact of climate change on agriculture and food security. The author includes a rare work relating to a new dimension of climate change managementÂ-environmental knowledge management. The book also touches another special topic relating to climate change, legal issues in the maritime sector. Is the current maritime legal framework effective in preventing harms to the environment still a big question? How the legal industry in Malaysia responds to climate change is also examined in this volume. Finally, the agriculture sector in Japan investigates whether the adaptive method of introducing high-temperature tolerant varieties and the mitigation strategy affect the product price of rice. Overall, robust strategies, plans, and policies are required to provide directions to stakeholders so that they can effectively and efficiently respond to climate change challenges.
