This book explores the idea of responsible government in East Asia,
arguing that many recent governance crises have resulted from
responsibility failures on a huge scale. It distinguishes between
accountability, which it argues has been overemphasised recently,
and responsibility, which it argues goes beyond accountability,
true responsible government involving the actor in feeling liable
for and taking responsibility for his or her actions. It shows how
historically the concept of responsibility is more embedded in
political discussions in Asia, whereas the concepts of democracy
and accountability are more embedded in the intellectual traditions
of Europe, but that the challenges of revolution and
post-revolution, decolonization and post-colonization and
neo-liberal globalization have complicated matters. Drawing on a
wide range of case studies from East Asia, and relating the
concepts discussed to political theory, ethics and social
psychology, the book shows how actors in government and society
interact to deliberate, produce or distract from the practice and
perception of "responsible government", and suggests how the
concept of "responsible government", better defined, might be
encouraged to produce better governance.
