This book is about the relationship between citizens and the state.
Their relationship has tended to be argued from a top down
perspective without systematically examining empirical data about
their association. In contrast, Citizens and the State, analyses
the relationship from a primarily bottom up standpoint. Using the
18 country cross-national survey (the Asia-Europe Survey) data it
examines how citizens relate themselves to the state. Featuring
case studies on France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Britain, Taiwan,
Japan, Indonesia, Greece, Italy, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal,
Ireland, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and China, the book
systematically examines the relationship by asking three questions:
how strongly do citizens identify themselves to the country? how
much confidence do citizens place in the state and its
institutions? how satisfied are citizens with life and politics?
Innovatively, the book attempts to answer these questions by first
setting up six types of relationship between citizens and the state
via factor analysis of the survey data pertaining identity,
confidence and satisfaction then by examining country profiles more
closely and beyond the six types. The book will be of interest to
students and researcher of political science, political theory,
comparative political science, Asian Studies, European Studies and
sociology.
