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.
