This handbook brings national and thematic case studies together to
examine a variety of populist politics from local and comparative
perspectives in the Asia Pacific. The chapters consider key and
cross cutting themes such as populism and nationalism, religion,
ethnicity and gender, as well as authoritarianism. They show how
populist politics alters the way governments mediate state-society
relations. The essays in this volume consider: — diverse
approaches in populist politics, for example, post-colonial,
strategic vs ideational, growth and redistribution, leadership
styles, and in what ways they are similar to, or different from,
populist discourses in Europe and the USA; —under what social,
political, economic and structural conditions populist politics has
emerged in the Asia-Pacific region; —national case studies drawn
from South and Southeast as well as the Pacific analyzing themes
such as media, religion, Islam, gender, medical populism,
corruption and cronyism, and inclusive vs exclusive forms of
populist politics; —modes and techniques of social and political
mobilization that populist politicians employ to influence people
and their impact on the way democracy is conceived and practiced in
the Asia Pacific. As a systematic account of populist ideologies,
strategies, leaders and trends in the Asia Pacific, this handbook
is essential reading for scholars of area studies, especially in
the Asia Pacific, politics and international relations, and
political and social theory.
This book sheds light on religiously motivated extremism and
violence in South Asia, a phenomenon which ostensibly poses
critical and unique challenges to the peace, security and
governance not only of the region, but also of the world at large.
The book is distinctive in-so-far as it reexamines conventional
wisdom held about religious extremism in South Asia and departs
from the literature which centres its analyses on Islamic militancy
based on the questions and assumptions of the West's 'war on
terror'. This volume also offers a comprehensive analysis of new
extremist movements and how their emergence and success places
existing theoretical frameworks in the study of religious extremism
into question. It further examines topical issues including the
study of social media and its impact on the evolution and operation
of violent extremism. The book also analyses grassroots and
innovative non-state initiatives aimed to counter extremist
ideologies. Through case studies focusing on Bangladesh, India,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka, this collection examines extremist
materials, methods of political mobilisation and recruitment
processes and maps the interconnected nature of sociological change
with the ideological transformations of extremist movements.
The book examines the various ways that fragile states (or states
with limited statehood) in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the
Americas have adopted, and adapted to, the processes of liberal
political governance in their quests to address the problem of
political fragility. It presents the stories of resilience in the
political adaptation to Western liberal conceptions of governance.
In addition to singular or comparative country case studies, this
project also examines the interplay of culture, identities, and
politics in the creation of people-centric governance reforms.
Towards these ends, this volume sheds light on weak states' often
constructive engagement in the promotion of state governance with a
variety of political conditions, adverse or otherwise; and their
ability to remain resilient despite the complex political,
sociocultural, and economic challenges affecting them. Through a
multidisciplinary approach, the authors aim to counter the
noticeable shortcomings in the discursive representations of
fragility, and to contribute a more balanced examination of the
narratives about and impact of political adaption and governance in
people's lives and experiences.
