This book sheds light on the nexus of driving factors for the paradigm shift, based on the chapters on emerging state and nonstate actors and discourse on post-EFA agendas. Special attention will be given to actors in the Asia-Pacific region, which simultaneously demonstrate diversity and common regional features.
