Asia Struggles with Democracy

Since 1974, when the current wave of democratization began, the movement toward democracy in Asia has remained limited. Many countries in Asia have not made a decisive move toward democracy and find themselves struggling with the challenges of democratic consolidation and governance. Focusing on Indonesia, Thailand and Korea, this book analyzes why democratization seems to be so difficult in Asia.

The book investigates the dynamics by which citizens embrace democratic rule and reject authoritarianism, and compares these dynamics with those of consolidating democracies around the world. It also inquires about the forces that affect the emergence and stability of democracy, such as elite interactions, economic development and popular attitudes as beliefs and perceptions about the legitimacy of political systems have long been recognized as some of the most critical influences on regime change. Finally, this book discusses what it is about the nature of public opinion and the processes of day-to-day democratic participation that make countries vulnerable to crises of legitimacy. Using Indonesia, Korea and Thailand as case studies, the volume highlights the uniqueness of Asias path to democracy and outlines both the challenges and opportunities in getting there.

The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, comparative politics and international studies.

Giovanna Maria Dora Dore is a Visiting Scholar in the SAIS-JHU Southeast Asia Studies Program. Earlier in her career, she worked for the World Bank Group as a political economist focusing on Asian emerging markets and as Special Assistant to the President.
