Party Politics in Southeast Asia - Clientelism and electoral competition in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines... Party Politics in Southeast Asia - Clientelism and electoral competition in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines (Paperback)
Dirk Tomsa, Andreas Ufen
R1,490 Discovery Miles 14 900 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Contributing to the growing discourse on political parties in Asia, this book looks at parties in Southeast Asia's most competitive electoral democracies of Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. It highlights the diverse dynamics of party politics in the region and provides new insights into organizational structures, mobilizational strategies and the multiple dimensions of linkages between political parties and their voters. The book focuses on the prominence of clientelistic practices and strategies, both within parties as well as between parties and their voters. It demonstrates that clientelism is extremely versatile and can take many forms, ranging from traditional, personalized relationships between a patron and a client to the modern reincarnations of broker-driven network clientelism that is often based on more anonymous relations. The book also discusses how contemporary political parties often combine clientelistic practices with more formal patterns of organization and communication, thus raising questions about neat analytical dichotomies. Straddling the intersection between political science and area studies, this book is of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Southeast Asian politics, and political scientists and Asian Studies specialists with a broader research interest in comparative democratization studies.

Democratization in Post-Suharto Indonesia (Paperback): Marco Bunte, Andreas Ufen Democratization in Post-Suharto Indonesia (Paperback)
Marco Bunte, Andreas Ufen
R1,511 Discovery Miles 15 110 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In May 1998 the fall of Suharto marked the beginning of a difficult and multi-layered transition process. It was accompanied by intensified conflict in the political arena, a dramatic increase of ethnic and religious violence and the danger of national disintegration. Ten years after the collapse of the New Order, Indonesia has made significant progress, however the quality of democracy is still low. Theoretically innovative and empirically sound, this book is an in-depth analysis of the Indonesian reform process since 1998. Marco Bunte and Andreas Ufen bring together a selection of noted Indonesia experts to provide new insights into the restructuring of core state institutions, the empowerment of Parliament, the slow and difficult evolution of the rule of law, and the transfer of power to locally elected regional governments (decentralization). Based on the results of extensive fieldwork, Democratization in Post-Suharto Indonesia will be an important read for scholars engaged in research on Indonesia and the politics of Southeast Asia.

Ethnizitat, Islam, Reformasi - Die Evolution Der Konfliktlinien Im Parteiensystem Malaysias (German, Paperback, 2012 ed.):... Ethnizitat, Islam, Reformasi - Die Evolution Der Konfliktlinien Im Parteiensystem Malaysias (German, Paperback, 2012 ed.)
Andreas Ufen
R1,626 Discovery Miles 16 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Das malaysische Parteiensystem wurde im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte von mehreren Konfliktlinien gepragt. Zunachst war ein ethnischer Gegensatz vorherrschend, der sich im Zusammenhang mit dem elektoralen Autoritarismus, also aufgrund der strikten Kontrolle der Arbeiterbewegung und prodemokratischer Krafte, und aufbauend auf einer fruhzeitig ins Leben gerufenen interethnischen Elitenkoalition entfalten und stabilisieren konnte. Dieser Gegensatz wurde von einem solchen zwischen Sakularisten und Anhangern eines politisch interpretierten Islam zunehmend uberformt. Seit 1998/99 hat sich quer zu den ethnischen und religiosen Konfliktlinien erstmals ein Gegensatz zwischen Status quo und Reformasi herausgebildet, der die Auseinandersetzungen im Parteiensystem heute dominiert und das gesamte politische System transformieren kann."
