This book represents a pioneering interdisciplinary effort to
analyze Asian civil society under authoritarianism, a regime type
that is re-appearing or deepening after several decades of
increased political liberalization. By organizing its approach into
four main themes, this volume succinctly reveals the challenges
facing civil society in authoritarian regimes, including: actions
under political repression, transitions to democracy, uncivil
society, political capture and legal control. It features in-depth
analyses of a variety of Asian nations, from 'hard' authoritarian
regimes, like China, to 'electoral' authoritarian regimes, like
Cambodia, whilst also addressing countries experiencing democratic
regression, such as the Philippines. By highlighting concrete
responses and initiatives taken by civil society under
authoritarianism, it advances the intellectual mandate of
redefining Asia as a dynamic and interconnected formation and,
moreover, as a space for the production of new theoretical insight.
Contributing to our understanding of the tensions, dynamics, and
potentialities that animate state-society relations in
authoritarian regimes, this will be essential reading for students
and scholars of civil society, authoritarianism, and Asian politics
more generally.
