Freedom of speech in Singapore. The subject of human rights in Asia is a hotly debated one. In The Politics of Human Rights in East Asia, the authors survey the human rights records and attitudes of each country. The countries covered are: China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. Kenneth Christie covers Southeast Asia and Denny Roy covers Northeast Asia. They conclude with a discussion of the Association of East Asian Nation’s (ASEAN) role and suggestions for the future. Throughout, they examine the competing meaning of human rights in the Western versus the non-Western context and place the role of human rights within the framework of each country's history and political and economic development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028863336688,"sku":"9780745314143","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780745314143_p0.jpg?v=1763630397","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780745314143","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
