This book documents the search for a workable model of democracy in
Asia. It begins with two conceptual chapters that explore the role
of electoral democracy as a governance mechanism in the light of
other governance mechanisms, then reviews the various forms of
Asian democracy, including those that many may consider to be in
name rather than in substance, that have been practiced to date,
and indicates where these models may have failed or succeeded.
Underpinned by extensive case studies, valuable insights into
governance and democracy in Asia ? arguably one of the most
fascinating and dynamic regions in the world ? are provided.The
contributors chart the historical development of democracy (or
democratic aspirations) within their respective
countries/territories, and analyse both the positive and the
negative influences on democratization. They assess whether the
particular form of democracy (or lack of, as the case may be) that
has developed brings benefit or harm to the people living in the
countries and why. The extent to which policy-making has been able
to produce benefits for the population, regardless of the degree of
democratic development, is then addressed. Finally, the book
evaluates whether lessons can be learnt from Asia?s experiences
with democracy for other areas of the world.Concluding that sound
governance mechanisms, in particular the rule of law, ? is the key
to effective democratic systems, this book will strongly appeal to
those with an interest in democracy, comparative politics,
political economy and Asian studies and will be a timely reference
or text in courses related to these areas.
