Items related to Democracy in East Asia (A Journal of Democracy Book)
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.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: As New. Summary:Over the next few decades, East Asia is likely to be the most crucial arena in the global struggle for democracy. The extraordinary economic progress achieved by many East Asian countries in recent years has greatly increased the weight and importance of the region in world affairs. It has also made developing nations elsewhere look to East Asia for models to emulate, which means that the fate of democracy there may have significant repercussions in other regions. Yet at the same time, East Asia harbors a greater diversity of political regimes than any other part of the world, ranging from the stable democracy of Japan to the entrenched Leninist systems of China, North Korea, and Vietnam.In Democracy in East Asia Larry Diamond and Marc F. Plattner bring together a distinguished group of authorities to explore the past, present, and future of democracy in this region of growing importance. The authors begin with an overview of East Asian 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. Seller Inventory # dmc15
