Beskrivning

An essay collection that studies workaday, regional politics in Southeast Asia and its implications for evolving democracies. The contributors examine the electoral process, conflicts between central and local governments, conflicts between individual freedoms and state power, and the roles charismatic, opportunistic strongmen have played in Southeast Asian politics, most notably in Thailand, Burma, and the Philippines.

Recensioner i media

The strength of this volume is the care the authors give to conveying the notion that Southeast Asia is a complex entity and that our conventional wisdom is often flawed.(Crossroads) This book will be a solid contribution to the field in many ways, especially in its in-depth treatment of local politics.(Bijdragen)
