Politics of the 'Other' in India and China (eBook, ePUB)

Western Concepts in Non-Western Contexts
Redaktion: Koenig, Lion; Chaudhuri, Bidisha

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how the structural asymmetries existing between Western discourses and the realities of the non-Western world manifest themselves in the ideas, institutions and socio-political practices of India and China, and in how far they shape the social scientist's understanding of their discipline in general. Drawing on multiple disciplines, concepts and contexts in India and China, the book makes a valuable contribution to the theory and practice of politics, as well as to International and Asian Studies.
