Although Asia has a long history of governance practices, its
modern governance systems have been profoundly influenced by the
Western models. This book explores how the declining economic and
political influences on the global stage of the USA and Europe has
significantly reduced developing countries' confidence in the
public governance models promoted by the Western world. As
academics have begun to challenge the assuredness of the
conventional logic of 'Western = Global = Best', scholarship has
also grown on the contextualized governance experiences in Asia.
This timely volume explores the emergence of Asian models of
governance, taking into account the shifting global political
economic landscape and the region's rapid growth in recent decades.
Could there be Asian models of governance that are distinct from
the Western ones? If so, what are the key characteristics? The
authors examine the potentials and challenges of Asian models of
governance based on empirical studies from various Asian societies,
ranging from Singapore and South Korea to Myanmar and Vietnam. As
well as theoretical explorations, the book also provides rich
empirical evidence on the contextualized lessons accumulated in
Asia, offering a more nuanced understanding of Asian governance
experience through comparative case studies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Asian
Public Policy which was supported by the Singapore Ministry of
Education AcRF Tier 2 Grant entitled "Transnational Knowledge
Transfer and Dynamic Governance in Comparative Perspective".
