This book asserts that Asia is different in its values and that Asia's development path will not be the same as Europe's. The book will help Westerners understand and appreciate the changes taking place in Asia, and thereby help bring Europe and Asia together.

Recenzje

'"Asian Values" is an important contribution. The fact that the contributors to this book belong mostly to Asian countries can be seen as an implicit and explicit contribution to the debate on Asian values, because it is their own personal view shich is expressed on different levels.' - Angelika Messner, Internationales Asienforum
