This book offers an interpretive and critical comparative politics
analysis of the post-1945 development trajectory of the broad East
Asian region and its component countries. The discussion considers
the region and its countries in terms of their historical legacies
(colonialism, war and the preoccupation with development) and
argues that each country has constructed their own way of ordering
political life, each created its own political logic. Arguing that
it is an error to judge these countries' performance against the
model of Europe or America, Preston discusses the era of
expansionist colonialism, the episode of breakdown in highly
destructive regional warfare in the early twentieth century and the
subsequent diverse records of China (with its party-state turned
towards a nominal state-socialism), Hong Kong (confronting the
problems of living with distant masters), Singapore (with its elite
directed national building) and Thailand (mired in elite-resistance
to popular political reform).
