Covering various fields in political science, this new book
presents an historical and political-cultural analysis of Buddhism
and Confucianism.
Using Singapore and Burma as case studies, the book questions
the basic assumptions of democratization theory, examining the
political science of tyranny and exploring the rhetorical
manipulation of religion for the purpose of political
legitimacy.
A welcome addition to the political science and Asian studies
literature, McCarthy addresses many of the current issues that
underlie the field of democratization in comparative politics and
discusses the issue of imposing Western cultural bias in studying
non-Western regimes by analyzing rhetorical traits that are
universally regular in politics.
