Politics in Asia

Abstract

Asia undergoes a dramatic change. China’s rise calls attention particularly to those who are concerned about its consequences in international affairs, whereas other rapidly changing countries in Asia—particularly the cases of India, Indonesia, and Vietnam presented in this panel—take our attention to such broader issues related to decentralization of power, both in economy and politics, and social equality. While dealing with different topics (centre-local nexus, tax, and gender), the three papers in common are related to the following questions. To what extent have the European experiences of political and social developments been relevant to those in the Asian countries? How have their traditional values and their exposure to the global changes been mutually causal or linked together?
