Cultural Politics and Asian Values looks at the political, cultural
and religious background of East and Southeast Asian societies and
those of 'the West', with a view to seeing how they are affecting
contemporary national and international politics: democratization,
the international human rights discourse, NGOs and globalisation.
The book surveys the political history and pre-history of the
'Asian values' debate, taking it up to the era of Megawati
Sukarnoputri, Chen Shui-bian and Kim Dae-jung. In chapters on
Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and liberalism, Barr
explores the histories and conceptual essences of the world
religions involved in or affected by the debate.
