With the collapse of European socialism in the late 1980s,
ascendancy of the liberal capitalist democracy and individual
self-interest became prevalent in the West. In contrast, many
polities in Asia, both by tradition and choice, have explicitly
adopted communitarianism as a national ideology, for example
Confucianism in Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, Islam in Malaysia and
the Panca Sila in Indonesia. Here, communitarianism arguably
informs public policies and political practices and the concept of
the 'social' in terms of responsibilities and collective welfare is
preserved.
Communitarian Politics in Asia examines instances in Southeast and
East Asian countries where communitarianism is both articulated as
national ideology and embedded as the ethos of social life and
assesses the relative merits of a set of practices in their
respective local political context. The book not only augments
existing international debate on liberalism and communitarianism
but also provides empirical examples of communitarian political
practices that will substantiate and/or refute conceptual points,
such as re-distributive justice and costs to individuals, in this
ongoing debate.
