Featuring cases from India, China, Nepal, Japan, South Korea,
Singapore, Mongolia and Malaysia, the authors demonstrate and
compare the differing uses of public deliberation in Asia. Many
countries in Asia have long traditions of public deliberation, in
both democratic and undemocratic settings, some of which continue
today. Yet in the face of pressures from complex governance,
popular protests and democratization, certain deliberative
practices - notably deliberative polling - have been 'parachuted'
into the region without regard to historical or traditional
practices of deliberation. And, the motivations differ. Some states
have made use of public deliberation in order to contain dissent,
while others have more emancipatory goals in mind. The contributors
to this book take a comparative perspective on the emergence and
evolution of deliberative practices in Asia, and their
relationships with democracy. They analyse the main motivations for
introducing public deliberation in different political regimes and
the effectiveness of public deliberation in Asian countries for
solving problems and improving governance. In doing so they
evaluate whether deliberative democratic tools, can apply to all
societies regardless of their political and cultural differences.
Essential reading for students and scholars of Asian Politics, this
book will also be of great use to all political scientists with an
interest in deliberative democracy.
