East Asia is one of the most dynamic areas of political change in the world today-what role do citizens play in these processes of change?Drawing upon a unique set of coordinated public opinion surveys conducted by the World Values Survey, this book provides a dramatically new image of the political cultures of East Asia.Most East Asian citizens have strong democratic aspirations, even in still autocratic nations.Most East Asians support liberal market reforms,even in nations where state socialism has been dominant.The books findings thus provide a new perspective on the political values of Asian publics.We demonstrate that the dramatic socioeconomic changes of the past several decades have transformed public opinion, altering many of the social normstraditionally identified with Asian values, and creating public support for further political and economic modernization of the region.Political culture in East Asia is not an impediment to change, but creates the potential for even greater democratization and marketization. Comparative Politics is a series for students and teachers of political science that deals with contemporary government and politics.The General Editors are Max Kaase, Professor of Political Science, Vice President and Dean, School of Humanities and Social Science, International University Bremen, Germany; and Kenneth Newton, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Southampton.The series is produced in association with the European Consortium for Political Research.; PDF; Politics, Philosphy & Religion > Politics & government > Comparative politics, OUP Oxford<
