Contributors offer comparative insights that will appeal to a wider audience concerned with emerging patterns of governance and democracy. Adam Tyson, Associate Professor and Pro Dean International, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Leeds, UK This book brings together scholars based in, or had previously been based in a range of East and Southeast Asian countries, building on their respective primary empirical data and first-hand experience as academics and think tank researchers, in order to pluralise the current debates about governance in transitional societies.

What is the future of governance in Asia? This book, by attempting to supply a diversity of answers, will interest political scientists, economists, and journalists.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1481410}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-5306-6}, }
