Chapter 1: The Evolving Humanitarian Landscape: Rise of the Asia-Pacific Region -- Chapter 2: China and Humanitarian Affairs: Thinking, Policy and Prospects -- Chapter 3: The PLA's HADR Operations at Home and Abroad: Embedding War Preparation in Humanitarian Endeavors -- Chapter 4: Sino-Nepal Cooperation in Disasters: Dynamics and Challenges -- Chapter 5: Chinese Humanitarian Leadership in the UN and Multilateral System -- Chapter 6: India's Response to Humanitarianism: A Synopsis -- Chapter 7: Japan's New Security Perspective on Humanitarian Assistance -- Chapter 8: Australia and the South Pacific Islands in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief -- Chapter 9: Active Regional Humanitarian Platforms - The case of ASEAN -- Chapter 10: Reinforcing Universal Values for Humanitarian Cooperative Arrangements in Asia -- Chapter 11: Military Humanitarianism in the Asia-Pacific -- Chapter 12: Indonesia's Humanitarian Engagements: Perspectives, Limitations and Prospects -- Chapter 13: The Humanitarian Face of US-Philippines Security Alliance: Humanitarian partners, friends and allies -- Chapter 14: The Role of Civil Society in Disaster Response - the Philippine Experience -- Chapter 15: Private Sector: Under-appreciated actors in disaster response and recovery -- Chapter 16: Future Research Directions for Humanitarian Affairs in the Asia-Pacific.

This collection offers insights of the international humanitarian system, considering what constitutes humanitarianism in Asia-Pacific, and how it shapes policy and practice in the region and globally. It adds to the conversation on reforming the global humanitarian system by providing the space to share perspectives on humanitarian action from our place in the world. The authors answer these questions by focusing on a range of issues from national to sectoral perspectives to relations between 'traditional' and 'emerging' players, concluding that the dynamics of the humanitarian system from the perspectives of the Asia-Pacific are rooted in their localized experiences and built outwards. The first significant trend is that understandings of humanitarianism in the Asia-Pacific are primarily shaped by the experience of disasters at home. Second, national governments play a dominant role in humanitarian affairs in the region. Finally, the humanitarian landscape in the Asia-Pacific constitutes a diverse yet under-appreciated set of actors. This book is based on the RSIS Conference on Asia and the Humanitarian World held in 2019 in Singapore. It is relevant to students, scholars, practitioners and policymakers with an interest in humanitarian assistance, disaster management, strategic studies and international relations in Asia-Pacific.
