MN36 | Non-Traditional Security Concerns in the New Normal
Monograph No. 36
What is the “new normal”, and how can Southeast Asia better prepare for and cope with it? This monograph discusses this overarching question, with a focus on non-traditional security (NTS) issues. Part 1 focuses on Sustainable Security concerns to discuss the multifaceted impacts of COVID-19 on food security and climate security, and potential solutions in nuclear technologies. Part 2, discusses Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief issues, analysing COVID-19 as both a health disaster and a “simultaneous disaster”, existing concurrently with natural disasters. It concludes with insights on how society can better “ponder the improbable” in preparing for future novel threats.
