Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the political roles of
religious institutions and groups have captured inernational
attention. This book examines how religious institutions and
organizations in various Asian countries are influencing democratic
development and the shaping of government policies. Religious
Organizations and Democratization covers Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Mainland China, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia,
Indonesia, and Japan. The chapters specifically address the
engagement of Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, and other religious
organizations in the advancement and/or hindrance of
democratization in the region. The contributors consider such
questions as: Why have some religious organizations played a
decisive role in democratic transitions, while others remained
politically dormant, and other still acted in conservative
alliances to block democratic development? Why did some religious
organizations that once were active and instrumental to democratic
change lose their political vitality as soon as civil liberties
were successfully introduced? And why did other religious
organizations, irrespective of their roles in the process of
democratic transition, emerge as key political forces in the civil
society?
