This edited volume addresses how transnational interactions among
civil society actors in Asia and its sub-regions are helping to
strengthen common democratic values and transform dominant
processes of policymaking and corporate capitalism in the region.
The contributors conceive of transnational civil society networks
as constructive vehicles for both informing and persuading
governments and businesses to adopt, modify, or abandon certain
policies or positions. This volume investigates the role of such
networks through a range of interdisciplinary approaches, bringing
together case studies on Asian transnationalism from South,
Southeast, and Northeast Asia across four key themes: local
transformations and connections, diaspora politics, cross-regional
initiatives and networks, and global actors and influences.
Chapters demonstrate how transnational civil society is connecting
people in local communities across Asia, in parallel to ongoing
tensions between nation-states and civil society. By highlighting
the grassroots regionalization emerging from ever-intensifying
information exchange between civil society actors across borders -
as well as concrete transnational initiatives uniting actors across
Asia - the volume advances the intellectual mandate of redefining
'Asia' as a dynamic and interconnected formation. Transnational
Civil Society in Asia will appeal to students and scholars of
international relations, politics and Asian studies more broadly.
