Comparing Asian Politics presents an invaluable comparative
examination of politics and government in three Asian nations:
India, China, and Japan. The author elucidates the links between
politics and each nation's distinctive cultural and historical
contexts and demonstrates the intermingling and grafting of Asian
traditions with the influence of Western values and institutions.
National identity, political cohesion, and socioeconomic change
emerge as central to how politics has developed in each
nation-state. Also included are focus boxes on political and social
issues in other important countries in Asia. The book provides
insight into topics such as the significance of constitutions in
the political process; the parliamentary system in Asia; the
regionalization of politics and the importance of levels of
government; the decay of one-party rule; the links between
development and democratization; and the impact of globalization.
This essential text not only illuminates the politics of India,
China, and Japan in relation to one another, it also suggests to
readers how their own experience of politics can be informed by
understanding the politics and government of these three Asian
nations. In this new edition, the author includes a discussion on
the recent political changes in China and the election of Xi
Jinping in early 2013, the devastating earthquake and tsunami that
hit Japan in 2011, and the recent elections in India.
This up-to-date text offers a clear and cogent introduction to
women in development. Exploring the global structures and processes
that impede or support the empowerment of women, Jana Everett and
Sue Ellen M. Charlton use a feminist lens to understand
contemporary gender roles. Without such a lens, they argue, our
understanding of globalization and development is incomplete,
resulting in flawed policies that fail to improve the lives of
millions of people around the globe. After a set of introductory
chapters that conceptually frame the issues, the authors then
investigate women's struggles within and against globalization and
development through powerful case studies of sex trafficking,
water, work, and health. These chapters, by using specific
examples, develop the concepts of structure and agency, levels of
analysis, and feminist approaches as tools to help students
understand the complexities of development and alternative
strategies. Through rich interdisciplinary analysis, Everett and
Charlton explore the individual and collective strategies women
have used to improve their lives under globalization and weigh how
effective they have been. Their book will be an essential resource
in women's studies, political science, political economy,
anthropology, sociology, and development studies.
