The fragility of democracy in Southeast Asia is a subject of
increasing concern. While there has been significant movement in
the direction of democratisation, the authoritarian tendencies of
popularly elected leaders and the challenges posed by emerging
security threats have given rise to a shared concern about the
return of military rule in the region. This book examines the
nature of political transitions in Southeast Asia and why political
transitions towards political liberalisation and democracy have
often failed to take off. It considers political systems in
Southeast Asia that have gone through significant periods of
transition but continue to face serious challenges toward
democratic consolidation. Some key questions that the book focuses
on are - Are emerging democracies in the region threatened by weak,
failed or authoritarian leadership? Are political institutions that
are supposed to support political changes toward democratisation
weak or strong? How can democratic systems be made more resilient?
and What are the prospects of democracy becoming the defining
political landscape in Southeast Asia?
