Globalization and Democratization in Asia (eBook, ePUB)

The Construction of Identity
Redaktion: Jonsson, Kristina; Kinnvall, Catarina

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Globalization is a defining feature of our times, covering everything from economic and political issues to the spread of American culture. Its status is controversial, however with some viewing it as leading to greater development for all, while others see it as a threat to national cultures and democratic political life. This book shows how simplified such binary views are, and examines how various globalizing forces have affected Asian societies. It discusses the relationship between globalization, identity and democratic developments in Asia both theoretically and empirically, and aims to understand how economic, political and social forces interact and are mutually reinforced in Asian societies.
