East Asia is one of the most dynamic areas of political change in
the world today-what role do citizens play in these processes of
change? Drawing upon a unique set of coordinated public opinion
surveys conducted by the World Values Survey, this book provides a
dramatically new image of the political cultures of East Asia. Most
East Asian citizens have strong democratic aspirations, even in
still autocratic nations. Most East Asians support liberal market
reforms, even in nations where state socialism has been dominant.
The books findings thus provide a new perspective on the political
values of Asian publics. We demonstrate that the dramatic
socioeconomic changes of the past several decades have transformed
public opinion, altering many of the social norms traditionally
identified with Asian values, and creating public support for
further political and economic modernization of the region.
Political culture in East Asia is not an impediment to change, but
creates the potential for even greater democratization and
marketization. Comparative Politics is a series for students and
teachers of political science that deals with contemporary
government and politics. The General Editors are Max Kaase,
Professor of Political Science, Vice President and Dean, School of
Humanities and Social Science, International University Bremen,
Germany; and Kenneth Newton, Professor of Comparative Politics,
University of Southampton. The series is produced in association
with the European Consortium for Political Research.
