, and have published a Special Issue of Politics, a journal of the UK Political Studies Association.

In recent years the concept of resilience has come to frame security discourses, particularly, though not exclusively, – in the UK context. Taken as whole, the volume focuses on the politics of resilience in diverse empirical settings and addresses questions such as: How we should understand resilience? What is stake in the rise of resilience? Who benefits from resilience and what are the political effects of its societal cultivation? The collection features an agenda for resilience research in Politics and International Relations, eight specially commissioned articles on issues including cyber-security, international state-building and peace-keeping, and the 2011 UK riots,– together with an interview with leading resilience practitioner and PAIS Impact Advisory Board member Helen Braithwaite OBE. Other contributors from PAIS/果冻传媒 include Richard J. Aldrich, Jon Coaffee, and Lewis Herrington.

(PaIS) and Samananthi Gunawardana (Monash University) have a edited collection out called the Global Political Economy of the Household in Asia. The book features contributions that: (a) examine how the household is increasingly being incorporated into development planning and policy making; (b) considerthe social consequencies of the tendancy to view households as marketizable spaces; and (c) explore how the household economy relates to broader structures of industrial production in the region.

The book's case studies on Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and China, provide a comprehensive picture of the centrality of the household to ongoing processes and struggles associated with the continuous economic transformation of the region.
