From the 1960s until 1995, East and South-East Asia experienced tremendous capitalist economic growth, through which emerged a new urban middle class with a greatly improved material life. This book examines the processes which have transformed underdeveloped countries into full-blown consumer societies. The essays in this collection challenge conventional ideas about consumption and consumerism: they consider if the inundation of Western consumer goods have created identity confusions among the affluent in Asia, and if the expansion of consumer culture really does threaten the stability of...

Singapore's successful public housing programme is a source of political legitimacy for the ruling People's Action Party . This text accounts for the success of public housing in Singapore and draws out lessons for other nations.

Communitarian Politics in Asia
ISBN: 9780415480307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

In contrast, many polities in Asia, both by tradition and choice, have explicitly adopted communitarianism as a national ideology, for example Confucianism in Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, Islam in Malaysia and the Panca Sila in Indonesia. Here, communitarianism arguably informs public policies and political practices and the concept of the 'social' in terms of responsibilities and collective welfare is preserved....

The election campaign... Conventional political science depicts legitimate elections as rational affairs in which informed voters select candidates for office according to ... |
