Rezensionen

"It is refreshing to find a book that assumes that democracies, particularly east Asian ones, are fraught with complexity, popular impatience and backsliding. ... It is recommended to both Asia scholars and students of democratization. ... the book is an excellent addition to the ongoing discussion about the direction and meaning of Asia's governments of the people." (Joel Campbell, International Affairs, Vol. 91 (6), 2015)
