This book explores theories of conflict and peacebuilding and
applies them to case studies from the Asia Pacific region, seeking
to shift attention to the inherency of conflict, the constant
danger of re-emergence, and the need to establish mechanisms to
resolve it. The authors argue that the central focus of
peacebuilding should not be state-building per se, but rather the
creation of effective mechanisms for peaceful resolution of both
past and newly emerging conflicts. To do so, it is important to
consider the entire process of creating peace, to contemplate the
linkages between conflict, resolution, and post-conflict
peacebuilding, rather than focus only on the period of
institution-building.
This book presents a new organizing framework for studying
democratic recession and autocratization in Southeast Asia. By
introducing a new concept, “democratic backlash,” the book
details how democratic recession inevitably provokes resistance
that often forms the nucleus of new democratic movements, and in
doing so, argues that it is important to identify these reverse
trends that may eventually become dominant. The book contributes to
current literature which thus far has sought to understand the
causes and consequences of the decline in democracy around the
world. Previous literature has focused primarily on advanced
democracies, or alternatively, on large scale quantitative
comparison. As such, this book helps fill a research gap with its
focus on Southeast Asia, employing a comparative case study
approach. Chapter authors are experts on Southeast Asia, a region
that has experienced democratic recession and autocratization in a
variety of ways, from rising populism to military coups.
