This book looks at the link between voters and political party
systems in Asian democracies, focusing on India, Indonesia, Korea
and the Philippines. It discusses this link in terms of three
distinct elements: the formation of voters preferences, the
translation of preferences into votes, and the translation of votes
into seats. The book goes on to discuss how far the general rules
of political party systems and their underlying causal mechanisms
such as strategic voting are apparent in these Asian democracies.
In particular, it explores the extent to which electoral rules and
social structural variables affect the process of transforming
preferences into a political party system within the context of
Asian politics.The extensive areas covered by the book overcome the
traditional sub-regional division of Asia, namely, East, Southeast
and South Asia.

Governments and Markets in East Asia examines the relationship
between economic performance, elite co-operation, and political
regime stability in the context of the Asian crisis, and argues
that economic crisis is not the cause of greater political harmony
or discord, but rather that it serves as a catalyst that may
encourage elites to cooperate or conflict depending upon the
particular circumstances at the time of crisis. This book maintains
that the political consequences of the Asian crisis varied
according to the type of elite that existed in each stricken
society. Including a comprehensive comparative study of five
countries' experiences during the economic crisis: Indonesia,
Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines, this book
investigates the pre-crisis political context and elite
configuration of these five countries, and considers what lessons
can be drawn from their experiences. Constituting an impressive
body of descriptive and theoretical material on the Asian crisis,
this book looks towards the implications of economic crisis for
elite behaviour and political stability.
