CiNii 図書 - Democracy in East Asia

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.

内容説明

Over the next few decades East Asia is likely to be the most critical arena in the global struggle for democracy. A region of remarkable diversity that has achieved unparalleled economic growth, East Asia is viewed as a model by many developing countries in other parts of the world. Though some of its most successful countries are democratic, East Asia is also home to nondemocratic regimes that can claim enviable records of both political stability and economic growth. Some of these regimes have helped to launch a global debate about whether "Asian values" conducive to growth and stability may be incompatible with Western-style liberal democracy. This volume of essays by leading North American and Asian scholars provides a comprehensive look at key themes relating to democracy in East Asia today. The contributors explore the "Asian values" debate, East Asia's democratic experience, the effort to consolidate East Asia's new democracies, and prospects for democratic transitions among the region's remaining authoritarian regimes.

Means, Margaret Ng, Tatsumi Okabe, Parichart Chotiya, Minxin Pei, Marc F. Plattner, Robert Scalapino.
