This book challenges the view that liberal democracy is the
inevitable outcome of economic modernization. Focusing on the
stable and prosperous societies of Pacific Asia, it argues that
contemporary political arrangements are legitimised by the values
of hierarchy, familism and harmony. An arrangement that clearly
contrasts with a western understanding of political liberalism and
the communicatory democracy it facilitates. Instead of political
change resulting from a demand for autonomy by interest groups in
civil society, the adoption of democratic practice in Asia ought to
be viewed primarily as a state strategy to manage socio-economic
change.
