{"product_id":"2940150397569","title":"Party Politics In Southeast Asia","description":"This is the first comparative study on political parties in Southeast Asia covering eight of the ten ASEAN countries. Feudal Brunei Darussalam has no parties and for Laos we could not find a scholar willing or allowed to join the group of authors.\u003cbr\u003eSoutheast Asia is an economic power house of sorts with fledgling and often volatile political systems. Political parties and their leaders make decisions on behalf of more than 600 million people with a far reaching impact also on other parts of the world. This is why understanding the driving forces in and behind Southeast Asia’s political parties is important. \u003cbr\u003eThe print version is available at Amazon, ISBN:1493587145, ISBN-13:9781493587148\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a fresh look into organization and internal mechanisms of the main political parties in eight of the ten ASEAN countries, how they function on the ground, how they hold together, and how their leadership systems work. Internal competition and candidate selection, campaign strategies and party finances, money politics and career opportunities are a special focus in the eight country chapters. \u003cbr\u003eWhile showing the difference between classical party models and the reality on the ground in Southeast Asia, the book provides broad information on party politics in the region, adding a practical view to the vast and often rather theory-loaded scholarly literature. It intends to reach out to party members and activists, journalists and other political observers, and to anybody interested in Southeast Asian politics.","brand":"Political Party Forum Southeast Asia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168992248048,"sku":"2940150397569","price":6.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150397569_p0.jpg?v=1763744656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150397569","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
