Political Oppositions in Industrialising Asia (Hardcover, 2)

Industrialization has meant sweeping social transformations across Asia. Some political commentators have predicted that an expansion of civil society and rapid development of liberal democracy will necessarily follow. This text book dissects the extent of political opposition in Asia, and analyzes the nature of new social movements outside institutional party politics which are contesting the exercise of state power. Nine case studies open up the varieties of political oppositions across Asia, while an analysis of the problems of current political theorizing in relation to Asia sets the case studies firmly in the midst of wider debates about democratisation. The author challenges complacent assumptions about the progress of liberal democracy.
