William Case

Populist Threats and Democracy's Fate in Southeast Asia

Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a new explanation for democracy's collapse or persistence in Southeast Asia today. Focusing on Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia - the three countries in the region with the most democratic experience - William Case shows that existing accounts based on contextual factors are by themselves incomplete. Hence, they lead us wrongly to anticipate democracy's persistence in Thailand and its collapse in Indonesia. They more accurately, though only partially correlate with democracy's fluctuations in the Philippines.
