Civil Society in Asia: In Search of Democracy and Development in Bangladesh
ISBN: 9780754622758 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In East and Southeast Asia, the creation of civil society is a crucial yet most difficult issue.

This book examines these issues and shows that a better understanding of civil society in the Asian...
