Bringing together scholars of inequality, both inside and outside
of Asia, this book examines how the distribution of income has
affected political institutions, representation, and behaviour in
Asia. Through detailed data analysis, the international team of
contributors engages with the existing literature, arguing that the
connection between inequality and political institutions is much
more complex than has been suggested by previous studies from
outside the region. Instead, Inequality and Democratic Politics in
East Asia demonstrates that the micro-level evidence for the
correlation between inequality and democracy is mixed and the
impact of distributive politics is conditioned not only by
institutional but also by historical and geopolitical factors. As
such, this volume suggests that the median voter theorem and
simplified partisan models prove to be ineffectual in accounting
for distributive politics in East Asia. Analysing history,
structure, and context to further understand the politics of
inequality in East Asia, this book will be invaluable to students
of Asian politics, as well as students of inequality, democracy,
and political economy more widely.
