Recent events (both natural disasters and man-made disasters) have pointed to the inherent physical, economic, social and political vulnerabilities that exist in the region. Both black swan events and persistent threats to security characterize the challenges within the Asia-Pacific region. Transnational security challenges such as global climate change, environmental degradation, pandemics, energy security, supply chain security, resource scarcity, terrorism and organized crime are shaping the security landscape regionally and globally. The significance of emerging transnational security challenges in the Asia-Pacific Region impact globally and conversely, security developments in those other regions affect the Asia-Pacific region. .Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications,1613-5113Natural disastersEnergy securityTerrorismPolitical violenceOrganized crimeBusiness logisticsNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Energy Securityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/121000Terrorism and Political Violencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912090Organized Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B8000Supply Chain Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519030Natural disasters.Energy security.Terrorism.Political violence.Organized crime.Business logistics.Natural Hazards.Energy Security.Terrorism and Political Violence.Organized Crime.Supply Chain Management.355.03301823Masys Anthony Jedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLin Leo S.Fedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299385703321Asia-Pacific Security Challenges2505328UNINA
