It sheds light on the conditions of economic, food, health, community, environmental and political security in Asian states. It explores the idea of human security and to understand the issues jeopardizing the security of individuals in the Asian continent and to suggest policy to overcome the problems. This volume argues that the nature of the government and the constitution are equally essential in ensuring human security of a country. Some countries of Asia are not economically vulnerable but also politically disrupted. The issue of hunger, poverty, illiteracy, militancy, terrorism, ethno-religious conflicts have posed threats to human security. The pandemic COVID-19 has brought a great humanitarian crisis. The role of the Asian states in combatting COVID-19 and protecting public heath are highlighted in this book. With a multidimensional outlook this edited volume attempts to delineate an interdisciplinary discourse of human security in Asian context.
