{"product_id":"9789814517713","title":"Southeast Asian Responses to Globalization: Restructuring Governance and Deepening Democracy","description":"It is now apparent, especially in the aftermath of the regional financial crisis of 1997, that globalization has been impacting upon the Southeast Asian economies and societies in new and harrowing ways, a theme of many recent studies. Inadvertently, these studies of globalization have also highlighted that the 1980s and 1990s debate on democratization in the region  which focused on the emergence of the middle classes, the roles of new social movements, NGOs and the changing relations between state and civil society  might have been overly one-dimensional.   This volume revisits the theme of democratization via the lenses of globalization, understood economically, politically and culturally. Although globalization increasingly frames the processes of democracy and development, nonetheless, the governments and peoples of Southeast Asia have been able to determine the pace and character  even the direction of these processes  to a considerable extent. This collection  of essays (by some distinguished senior scholars and other equally perceptive younger ones) focuses on this globalization democratization  nexus and shows, empirically and analytically, how governance is being  restructured and democracy sometimes deepened in this new global era. A historical review introduces the volume while an analytical assessment  of the ten case-studies concludes it.","brand":"Nordic Institute of Asian Studies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139928211696,"sku":"9789814517713","price":42.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814517713_p0.jpg?v=1763690998","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814517713","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
