The Routledge Handbook of Autocratization in Southeast Asia examines how global and domestic forces of autocratization affect regional and local politics. It analyzes how the interactions of international and domestic factors affect actors and institutions in both democracies and autocracies in the region.Bringing together a representative slate of both local and international, junior and senior scholars of different methodological backgrounds, this Handbook cross-examines regional trends and provides an insider view of the causes and effects of autocratization in a region with diverse experiences with de-colonization, state-building, and economic and political developments. The 28 chapters are organized into three sections. Part I examines a range of structural, international, socio-political, technological, and ideological causal factors of autocratization. Part II offers a comparative analysis of the consequences of autocratization on key actors and democratic institutions. Part III provides a more detailed study of autocratic consolidation and pushback in each country in Southeast Asia. Taking into account structural-historical, institutional, and cultural factors, the contributors analyze how domestic actors and democratic institutions withstand the global forces of autocratization.This Handbook fills empirical gaps in the current scholarship by focusing on all nation-states in the Association of Southeast Asia Nations and Timor-Leste, varied regime types with diverse socio-religious backgrounds. It is the first authoritative reference work dedicated to Southeast Asia’s autocratization and will be an indispensable reference work for academics and policymakers interested in democracy and autocracy, regime transition, and Southeast Asian politics.

This book analyzes and compares the history of decolonization throughout Asian countries.Is it really possible to paint a unified picture of Asia's diverse modern and contemporary history, from kingdoms to republics, from authoritarian regimes to liberal democracies? This book vividly answers this question by focusing on “decolonization,” especially in the 1940s and 1950s, before and after World War II, because the power relations that were established during this period are the “origins” that have an important influence on the current political system.This book focuses on the question of why some Asian countries became democracies while others became autocracies of various kinds after decolonization. The key is “institutions and movements” at the end of the colonial period. The book focuses on two important factors influencing the political changes before and after independence: the institutions of self-government and the royal family, and the movements, radical with armed struggle and moderate without armed struggle. Based on the combination of the existence or non-existence of these institutions and the strength or weakness of the movements, four types of leadership groups are derived to elucidate the post-independence regime typology. This approach will allow us to bring into a unified perspective for the first time the diverse history of modern and contemporary Asia.
