Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Summary:Over the next few decades, East Asia is likely to be the most crucial arena in the global struggle for democracy. The extraordinary economic progress achieved by many East Asian countries in recent years has greatly increased the weight and importance of the region in world affairs. It has also made developing nations elsewhere look to East Asia for models to emulate, which means that the fate of democracy there may have significant repercussions in other regions. Yet at the same time, East Asia harbors a greater diversity of political regimes than any other part of the world, ranging from the stable democracy of Japan to the entrenched Leninist systems of China, North Korea, and Vietnam.In Democracy in East Asia Larry Diamond and Marc F. Plattner bring together a distinguished group of authorities to explore the past, present, and future of democracy in this region of growing importance. The authors begin with an overview of East Asian political cultures and democracy. They analyze democracy in Japan and "soft authoritarianism" in Malaysia and Singapore. They describe the process of consolidating new democracies in South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Looking to countries where democracy has not yet taken hold, they explore the prospects for change in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The volume concludes with three brief chapters by senior scholars broadly assessing the prospects for democracy in East Asia.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Summary:"What happens when vote-buying becomes a means of social policy? Although one could cynically ask this question just as easily about the United States's mature democracy, Diego Abente Brun and Larry Diamond ask this question about democracies in the developing world through an assessment of political clientelism, or what is commonly known as patronage. Studies of political clientelism, whether deployed through traditional vote-buying techniques or through the politicized use of social spending, were a priority in the 1970s, when democratization efforts around the world flourished. With the rise of the Washington Consensus and neoliberal economic policies during the late-1980s, clientelism studies were moved to the back of the scholarly agenda. Abente Brun and Diamond invited some of the best social scientists in the field to systematically explore how political clientelism works and evolves in the context of modern developing democracies, with particular reference to social policies aimed at reducing poverty. Clientelism, Social Policy, and the Quality of Democracy is balanced between a section devoted to understanding clientelism's infamous effects and history in Latin America and a section that draws out implications for other regions, specifically Africa, Southeast Asia, and Eastern and Central Europe. These rich and instructive case studies glean larger comparative lessons that can help scholars understand how countries regulate the natural sociological reflex toward clientelistic ties in their quest to build that most elusive of all political structures--a fair, efficient, and accountable state based on impersonal criteria and the rule of law. In an era when democracy is increasingly snagged on the age-old practice of patronage, students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, democratization, and international development and economics will be interested in this assessment, which calls for the study of better, more efficient, and just governance"-- Provided by publisher.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. Summary:Thirty articles reprinted from issues of the Journal of Democracy investigate why the Middle East is the only region of the world to have been largely untouched by the third wave of global democratizations since 1974. Political scientists, most from or working in western countries, look at such aspects as the decline of pluralism in Mubarak's Egypt, Iran's remarkable election, and the sources of enlightened Muslim thought.
