By contrast, in Armed with Abundance, Meredith Lair focuses on the noncombat experiences of U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, redrawing the landscape of the war so that swimming pools, ice cream, visits from celebrities, and other ""comforts"" share the frame with combat.To address a tenuous morale situation, military authorities, Lair reveals, wielded abundance to insulate soldiers--and, by extension, the American public--from boredom and deprivation, making the project of war perhaps easierSoldiersUnited StatesSocial life and customs20th centuryLifestylesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryConsumption (Economics)Social aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryVietnam War, 1961-1975Social aspectsUnited StatesMoral conditionsHistory20th centuryElectronic books.SoldiersSocial life and customsLifestylesHistoryConsumption (Economics)Social aspectsHistoryVietnam War, 1961-1975Social aspects.959.704/31Lair Meredith H1027968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457956203321Armed with abundance2443765UNINA04738nam 22006855 450 991035032850332120241029133734.09789811380433981138043010.1007/978-981-13-8043-3(CKB)4100000008876858(DE-He213)978-981-13-8043-3(MiAaPQ)EBC5788451(Perlego)3485791(EXLCZ)99410000000887685820190610d2019 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierASEAN Post-50 Emerging Issues and Challenges /edited by Aida Idris, Nurliana Kamaruddin1st ed. 2019.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2019.1 online resource (XX, 251 p. 7 illus., 2 illus. in color.) 9789811380426 9811380422 Chapter 1: Overview of ASEAN; Aida Idris, Nurliana Kamaruddin -- Chapter 2: ASEAN at 50: The Rise Of China And The Emerging Regional Integration Architecture; Kee Cheok Cheong, Ran Li, Qianyi Wang -- Chapter 3: The ASEAN-ROK Economic Relations: Challenges and Opportunities; Nurliana Kamaruddin, Jan Vincent Galas -- Chapter 4: Determinants Of Chinese Overseas FDI In ASEAN Countries; Zheng Jie, Mohd Nazari Ismail -- Chapter 5: Empowerment For Economic And Human Capital Development Through Education; Wendy Yee Mei Tien, Serina Rahman.-Chapter 6: ASEAN Qualification Reference Framework : Harmonisation of ASEAN Higher Education Area; Zita Mohd Fahmi, Usharani Balasingam, Jake M Laguador -- Chapter 7: Representing Migration in ASEAN: Challenges to Regional Integration; Charity Lee -- Chapter 8: Environmental Challenges within ASEAN: Contemporary Legal Issues and Future Considerations; Sarah Tan Yen Ling, Hanim Kamaruddin -- Chapter 9: Environmental Threats to the Performance of Urban Areas in ASEAN Integration; Zakaria Alcheikh Mahmoud, Yahaya Ahmad, Melasutra Md Dali, Nikmatul Adha Binti Nordin -- Chapter 10: Regulatory Incoherence in Nutrition Labelling of Pre-packaged Food in ASEAN: What Next?; Evelyn S.

Today ASEAN not only has to contend with its own internal challenges arising from the highly diverse political, economic and socio-cultural systems of its member countries, it also has to deal with external factors which include shifts in geostrategic balance, fraying global consensus on free trade, populism and xenophobia, climate change, digital revolutions and cybercrimes. Set against the above background, this edited collection considers some of the contemporary issues and challenges faced by ASEAN in its journey towards more cohesive and dynamic regional integration. Among the topics explored are ASEAN's evolving partnerships with its key strategic partners including China and the United States on economic policies and strategies, educational systems and frameworks, migration and environmental threats.AsiaEconomic conditionsEconomic developmentInternational economic relationsAgricultureEconomic aspectsEducationEconomic aspectsEnvironmental economicsAsian EconomicsEconomic GrowthInternational EconomicsAgricultural EconomicsEducation EconomicsEnvironmental EconomicsAsiaEconomic conditions.Economic development.International economic relations.AgricultureEconomic aspects.EducationEconomic aspects.Environmental economics.Asian Economics.Economic Growth.International Economics.Agricultural Economics.Education Economics.Environmental Economics.330.0095Idris Aidaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKamaruddin Nurlianaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350328503321ASEAN Post-502223537UNINA
