Helen E S Nesadurai is Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts and Sciences at Monash University’s Sunway Campus in Malaysia. Her research broadly focuses on the politics of globalization and its governance, with a particular emphasis on the different ways in which elite and non-elite actors operating within distinct domestic contexts use regional cooperation schemes to respond to both the pressures associated with globalization and a host of transnational challenges. Much of her recent writings have focused on how the tensions between the global and the domestic are negotiated in the construction of regional projects in the broad Asia-Pacific region. She is the author of Globalisation, Domestic Politics and Regionalism: The ASEAN Free Trade Area (Routledge, 2003) and the editor of Globalisation and Economic Security in East Asia: Governance and Institutions (Routledge, 2006). She is an external associate of the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation, University of Warwick, UK and a member of the editorial board of the journal, Global Governance.
