'The book offers a broad survey of political partiesaEURO (TM)
financing strategies in Southeast Asia.'Contemporary Southeast
AsiaPolitical activities, the running of party organisations,
branches and headquarters, and especially election campaigns, are
becoming increasingly costly, and no party can survive without
money. Political power provides access to funding from public and
private sources. Political parties have become more and more like
businesses, including the temptation to maximise the income and the
war chests, thus opening the doors for vested interests and
influence peddling. As a result, money politics is pervasive, and
the public is becoming increasingly critical of it. Trust in
political parties, politicians, governments, and key state
institutions has fallen to unprecedented levels. In most countries
in the region general and political corruption, graft, and
influence peddling are all too visible for the voters, while good
governance remains an ideal too often out of reach.This book, Power
Broking in the Shade: Party Finances and Money Politics in
Southeast Asia, provides an overview of the strategies for
financial survival of the parties in the region and the importance
of stable cash flows for their political success. The book fills
the void of a comparative approach towards party financing that
covers the whole of ASEAN and offers accessible facts and
understandable analysis for anyone interested in the politics of
Southeast Asia.
