Recenzje

Comprehensively and persuasively argued, Kim offers a case for a Confucian democratic constitutionalism in East Asian countries, one rooted in both the ethics and the institutional strains of Confucian thought, and grounded in the combination of rights and popular sovereignty that defines democracy. The approach stands out for its attentiveness to the circumstances of politicsDLthe facts of pluralism and the realities of political conflict. A must-read for those interested in the future of democracy in East Asia.
