Modes of Engagement - Muslim Minorities in Asia (Paperback)

Of Asia's 800 million Muslims, 215 million are minorities within
their countries. These Muslim minorities have experienced a
persistent decline in their socioeconomic and political status.
Along with this decline, they are increasingly identified by their
faith and largely accorded no other identity for civic relations.
Why have these Muslim minorities been particularly affected during
a time of unprecedented opportunities for the mainstream in Asia's
unprecedented era of growth and rising freedoms? Using detailed
analyses of China, India, and the Philippines, Modes of Engagement
argues that key factors in this phenomenon include the linkage
between socioeconomic decline, loss of political power, and
narrowing of identity; nationalism and its associated connotations
of the assimilation of minorities; the weakness of civil society
generally in Asia; and the rise in regional and global alliances
for security and trade. Contributors include Wajahat Habibullah
(National Commission for Minorities and National Institute of
Technology, India), Rakesh Basant (Indian Institute of Management),
Dru C. Gladney (Pomona College), and Joseph Chinyong Liow (Nanyang
Technological University's S. Rajaratnam School of International
Studies, Singapore).
