Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars,
Post-Politics and Civil Society in Asian Cities examines how the
concept of 'post-politics' has manifested across a range of Asian
cities, and the impact this has had on state-society relationships
in processes of urban governance. This volume examines how the
post-political framework-derived from the study of Western liberal
democracies-applies to Asian cities. Appreciating that the region
has undergone a distinctive trajectory of political development,
and is currently governed under democratic or authoritarian
regimes, the book articulates how post-political conditions have
created obstacles or opportunities for civil society to assert its
voice in urban governance. Chapters address the different ways in
which Asian civil society groups strive to gain a stake in the
development and management of cities, specifically by looking at
their involvement in heritage and environmental governance, two
inter-related components in discourses about establishing liveable
cities for the future. By providing in-depth case studies examining
the varying degrees to which post-political ideologies have been
enacted in urban governance across Central, South, Southeast, and
East Asia, this book offers a useful and timely resource for
students and scholars interested in urban studies, political
science, Asian studies, geography, and sociology.
