Paperback. Zustand: Good. 430 pages. Cover faded. Name on ffepIn a major new book, Lucian W. Pye reconceptualizes Asian political developme nt as a product of cultural attitudes about power and authority. He contrasts th e great traditions of Confucian East Asia with the Southeast Asian cultures and the South Asian traditions of Hinduism and Islam, and explores the national diff erences within these larger civilizations. Breaking with modern political theor y, Pye believes that power differs profoundly from one culture to another. In As ia the masses of the people are group-oriented and respectful of authority, whil e their leaders are more concerned with dignity and upholding collective pride t han with problem-solving. As culture decides the course of political development , Pye shows how Asian societies, confronted with the task of setting up modern n ation-states, respond by fashioning paternalistic forms of power that satisfy th eir deep psychological craving for security. This new paternalism may appear ess entially authoritarian to Western eyes, but Pye maintains that it is a valid res ponse to the people's needs and will ensure community solidarity and strong grou p loyalties. He predicts that we are certain to see emerging from Asia's acceler ating transformation some new version of modern society that may avoid many of t he forms of tension common to Western civilization but may also produce a whole new set of problems. This book revitalizes Asian political studies on a plane t hat comprehends the large differences between Asia and the West and at the same time is sensitive to the subtle variations among the many Asian cultures. Its co mparative perspective will provide indispensable insights to anyone who wishes t o think more deeply about the modern Asian states. Editorial Reviews Review [A.…
