The Nature of Asian Politics is a broad and thematic treatment of
the fundamental factors that characterize politics in the fourteen
key countries of Southeast and Northeast Asia. Bruce Gilley begins
with an overview of state-society relations, then moves on to the
fundamental questions of development and democracy, and finally
shifts to an exploration of governance and public policy in the
region. This book proposes an Asian governance model that is useful
for understanding politics from Japan to Indonesia. By reviving an
earlier paradigm known as oriental despotism and applying it to
political theories on the Asian region, this book is likely to
attract wide debate among students of Asian politics and among
Western policy makers seeking to engage the region.
