Does the increasing prominence of Asia also mark a new era for
human rights in the region? This timely book uncovers the political
drivers behind both recent regional and country-based changes to
the recognition, promotion, and protection of rights. Human Rights
in Asia focuses on the relationships between political regimes,
institutions and cultures, and external actors, such as
international organizations, NGOs, and business. The contributing
authors provide important discussions on Burma, Cambodia, China,
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the
Phillipines. Thematic chapters then go on to frame these
individually focused contributions, by examining the international
pressure to 'normalize' rights regimes, and the relationship
between Islam and rights in the region. Providing a unique
combination of country-specific and thematic analysis, this book
will be a fascinating and beneficial read for postgraduate and
undergraduate students in human rights and international relations,
as well as scholars in politics, human rights, international
relations and government and NGO analysts. Contributors include:
M.K. Connors, T.W.D. Davis, M. Ford, B. Galligan, A. Kent, A.
McGregor, T. Milner, R.C. Pangalangan, S. Peou, G. Rodan, A. Saeed,
R. Samaddar
