Reviews

[T]his book offers a valuable contribution to the study of Asian politics. Most research in comparative politics has examined the emergence, development and maintenance of the western tradition of liberal democracy, but the same attention has not been awarded to Asian democratic transitions and consolidations. By investigating the trajectories of political development in the continent, the contributors demonstrate that there is no 'one size fits all' model of democracy. [...] The book is an essential resource for those studying Asian comparative politics, as it covers various regime types and utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research methods. --Yatana Yamahata, Nagoya University, Japan, International Relations theory
