| Synopsis: |
This work brings together a distinguished group of authors to explore the past, present and future of democracy in East Asia. The authors begin with an overview of the region's political cultures and democracy. They analyze democracy in Japan and "soft authoritarianism" in Malaysia and Singapore. They describe the process of consolidating new democracies in South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Looking to countries where democracy has not yet taken hold, they explore the prospects for change in China, Vietnam and Indonesia. The volume concludes with three brief chapters by senior scholars broadly assessing the prospects for democracy in East Asia. |
