An Alternative Philosophy of Development

Birth in Buddhism

From economism to human well-being

The Suffering Fetus and Female Freedom

Birendra Prasad Mathur

Amy Paris Langenberg, Eckerd College, US Series: Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism

While development has been the foremost agenda before successive governments in India, it has been viewed narrowly — from the perspective of economic development and particularly in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This book questions such an approach. It breaks from the conventional wisdom of GDP growth as being a definitive measure of success of a country’s policies and offers an alternative development philosophy. The book underlines that in a successful model of development, the country’s economic policies will have to synergize with its cultural ethos and that the objective of development should be Gross National Happiness and well-being of the people. Routledge India Market: Political Science / Development Studies / Economics / Sociology November 2016: 216x138: 248pp Hb: 978-1-138-69312-8: £95.00 eBook: 978-1-315-38874-8 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9781138693128

Eschewing the backward projection of secular liberal feminist categories, this book describes the basic features of the Buddhist discourse of the female body, held more or less in common across sectarian lines, and still pertinent to ordained Buddhist women today. The textual focus of the study is an early-first-millennium Sanskrit Buddhist work, "Descent into the Womb scripture" or Garbhāvakrānti-sūtra.

Arming Asia

Buddha to Krishna

Technonationalism and its Impact on Local Defense Industries

Life and Times of George Keyt

Richard Bitzinger Series: Routledge Security in Asia Series

Yashodhara Dalmia, Yashodhara Dalmia, art historian, independent curator, New Delhi, India.

This book aims to examine defense industrialization in several leading arms-producing states in Asia – China, India, Japan and South Korea – in order to decipher if autarky or self-sufficiency in armaments production, remains to be an adequate strategy for the task of developing and manufacturing next-generation weapon systems.

This book traces the emergence of modernism in art in South Asia by exploring the work of the iconic artist George Keyt. Closely interwoven with his life, Keyt’s art reflects the struggle and triumph of an artist with very little support or infrastructure. He painted as he lived, full of colour, turmoil and intensity. In this compelling account, the author examines the eventful course of his journey, bringing to light unknown and startling facts: the personal ferment that Keyt went through because of his tumultuous relationships with women; his close involvement with social events in India and Sri Lanka on the threshold of Independence; and his somewhat angular engagement with

Unearthing Development Glenn Banks, Massey University, New Zealand Series: Routledge Pacific Rim Geographies Large-scale mining is one of the most controversial contemporary development enterprises in the Asia-Pacific. Despite a number of high-profile social, environmental and human rights controversies connected with the mining industry, it continues to be an integral part of the economies and development planning of most countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Focusing on Melanesia, this book looks at a range of issues connected with the mining industry that resonate across the region, relating to environment, corporations, labour, economy, and community.

Contested Ideas of Regionalism in Asia

Early Buddhist Meditation

He Baogang, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Series: IR Theory and Practice in Asia This book examines contested ideas of regionalism in Asia with a particular focus on two competing ideas of pan-Asianism and Pacificism. It also identifies a new trend and contestation, the fundamental shift from a civilization understanding of regionalism to a technocratic and functional understanding of regionalism in the form of regulatory regionalism.

The Four Jhanas as the Actualization of Insight Keren Arbel Series: Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism Offering a fresh look at an important element in Buddhist meditation, this book looks at the relationship between ‘insight practice’ and the attainment of the four jhanas, providing a novel map of the theoretical progress of meditation according to early Buddhist texts. The book demonstrates that the four jhanas have been misunderstood in Buddhist psychology and philosophy, by inaccurate interpretations and oversights of key terms and aspects of the meditation process. By carefully analysing all aspects of the four jhanas, the relationship between this central element in the Buddhist path and ‘insight meditation’ is revealed in all its power.

Eastern Westerns

Faces of Homelessness in the Asia Pacific

Film and Genre Outside and Inside Hollywood

Edited by Carole Zufferey, University of South Australia, Australia and Nilan Yu, University of South Australia

Stephen Teo Series: Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia Series The western has enjoyed a revival recently in Asia and in other parts of the world, whilst at the same time declining in America. Although the western is often seen as an example of American cultural dominance, this book challenges this view. It considers the western from an Asian perspective, exploring why the rise of Asian westerns has come about, and examining how its aesthetics, styles and politics have evolved as a result. It analyses specific Asian Westerns as well as Westerns made elsewhere, including in Australia, Europe, and Hollywood, to demonstrate how these employ Asian philosophical and mythical ideas and value systems.

This book contributes to learning and scholarship in the area of homelessness, with a special focus on critical and international policy and practice. It will contribute to knowledge in the field of homelessness by offering critical analyses of state responses to the issue in the Asia Pacific, acknowledging diverse global and local social inequalities. As the book is interdisciplinary, it will also contribute knowledge to diverse disciplines, including social planning, geography, social and public policy, social work and homelessness, from countries in the Asia Pacific region.

Employment, Growth and Development

Governance and Democracy in the Asia Pacific

Essays on a Changing World Economy

Political and Civil Society

Deepak Nayyar, Deepak Nayyar, Emeritus Professor of Economics, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.

Edited by Stephen McCarthy, Griffith University, Australia and Mark R Thompson, City University of Hong Kong Series: Politics in Asia

This book examines the critical themes of employment, growth and development, to focus on challenges and opportunities, both old and new, in the contemporary world economy. The essential theme that runs through the book is that there is a strong relationship not only between employment and growth but also between employment and development, where the causation runs in both directions. The author shows how employment transforms economic growth into meaningful development by providing livelihoods and incomes to people.

This book examines the nature of civil and political society in the Asia-Pacific region as well as the presence, or absence, of good governance and democracy. Divded into three themes - governance and democracy, political society, and civil society - each theme is intended to focus our attention on the kinds of issues it identifies and, in turn, encourage both an analytical and a comparative study between a number of similar countries or cases in the Asia Pacific region.

Muslim Experiences in Urban India Anasua Chatterjee Series: Religion and Citizenship Part of the ‘Religion and Citizenship’ series, this book is an ethnographic study of marginality of Muslims in urban India. It explores the realities and consequences of socio-spatial segregation faced by Muslim communities and the various ways in which they negotiate it in the course of their everyday lives. By narrating lived experiences of ordinary Muslims, the author attempts to construct their identities as citizens and subjects. What emerges is a highly variegated picture of a group (otherwise viewed as monolithic) that resides in very close quarters, more as a result of compulsion than choice, despite wide differences across language, ethnicity, sect and social class.

Military coups in 2006 and 2014 marked a transition from electoral democracy to military dictatorship and the embedding of authoritarianism.

Karin Ling-fung Chau, The University of Hong Kong, Heung Wah Wong, The University of Hong Kong and Hoi-yan Yau, Tsukuba University, Japan Series: Routledge Culture, Society, Business in East Asia Series This book charts the development of Hong Kong identity from the Second World War to the present. It argues that understanding popular culture is key to understanding how Hong Kong identity has evolved, and it discusses the various phases that popular culture has gone through in the post-war period. The book examines how the consumption of popular culture has been related to the changing geopolitical situation, to the politics of economic transformation, and to community building. It shows how behind all these aspects of popular culture lies the essential "in-between-ness" of Hong Kong, neither Eastern/traditional/conservative nor Western/modern/liberal.

Routledge Handbook of East Asian Popular Culture

Routledge Handbook of Transport in Asia

Edited by Koichi Iwabuchi, Eva Tsai and Chris Berry

Edited by Junyi Zhang, Hiroshima University, Japan and Cheng-Min Feng, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan

Since the 1990s there has been a increase in cultural flows and connections between the countries in the East Asian region. Uneven but multilateral exchanges of Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese products have led to the construction of an ‘East Asian Popular Culture’. This is both influenced by, and in turn influences, the national cultures, and generates transnational co-production and reinvention. As East Asian popular culture becomes a global force, it is important to understand its characteristics - particularly its transnational nature. Contributors explore East Asian experiences and reconsider Western theories on cultural globalization.

Sustainable Cities in Asia

The British Raj: Keywords

Edited by Federico Caprotti, King's College London, UK and Li Yu, Cardiff University, UK

Pramod K. Nayar During the course of governing India — the Raj — a number of words came to have particular meanings in the imperial lexicon. This book documents the words and terms that the British used to describe, define, understand and judge the subcontinent. It offers insights into the cultures of the Raj, through a sampling of its various terms, concepts and nomenclature, and utilizes critical commentaries on specific domains to illuminate not only the linguistic meaning of a word but its cultural and political nuances. It also provides literary and cultural texts from the colonial canon where these Anglo-Indian colloquialisms, terms and official jargon occurred.

Asia is one of the most active regions in terms of the development of sustainable city strategies, from Smart Cities to eco-cities. Sustainable Cities in Asia explores the meanings of sustainable urbanism in contemporary Asian cities, looking at the main urban sustainability challenges faced in the region, and the ways in which strategies aimed at urban sustainability are being enacted today. This book provides discussion on the broader debates around the shape of sustainable urbanism in Asia as well as numerous case studies on topics from urban cycling, to green spaces, to ‘Smart City’ strategies, to the use of community-led energy generation projects in post-Fukushima Japan.

Legitimation and Autocratic Power in North Korea, Burma, and China Alexander Dukalskis, University College Dublin, Ireland Series: Routledge Studies on Comparative Asian Politics

Edited by Malcolm Warner, University of Cambridge, UK Series: Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia

Using North Korea, Burma (Myanmar) and China as case studies, this book explains how the authoritarian public sphere shapes political discourse in each context and examines three domains of potential subversion of ruling ideologies: the shadow markets of North Korea, networks of independent journalists in Burma/Myanmar, and the online sphere in China. Drawing on empirical interview data, as well as close examination of state-produced media, speeches, and legislation, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, comparative politics and authoritarian regimes.

This book examines the diffusion of economic ideas in East Asia, assessing the impact of external ideas on internal theory and practice. It considers economists from Adam Smith onwards, including Marx, Keynes, Hayek and contemporary economists, and covers the subject both historically and also includes present day and likely future developments. The book covers all the major countries of East Asia, and pays particular attention to specific economists who have had a strong impact in specific countries, and to important developments in economic theory in East Asia, exploring how far these have been driven by Western economic ideas.

It considers specifically how a Japanese supermarket chain, Yaohan, expanded into Hong Kong in the 1980s and mainland China in the 1990s, and how this expansion evolved from initial success to ultimate failure and the company’s bankruptcy, relating all this to the changing nature of society, consumerism and shopping in East Asia.

Being Middle Class in China

China-Africa Relations

Identity, Attitudes and Behaviour

Building Images through Cultural Co-operation, Media Representation and on the Ground Activities

Ying Miao Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy Many studies of the Chinese middle class focus on defining it, and viewing its significance for economic development and its potential for socio-political modernisation. This book goes beyond such objective approaches and considers middle class people’s subjective understanding and diverse experiences of class. Based on extensive original research, the book explores who the middle class think they are, what they think about a wide range of socio-economic and socio-political issues, and why they think as they do. The book concludes that a clear class identity and political consciousness have yet to emerge, but that middle class attitudes are best characterised as searching for a balance.

This book explores how China and Africa really regard each other, how official images are manufactured, and how informal images are nevertheless shaped and put forward.

Catholics and Everyday Life in Macau

China's Cinema of Class

Changing Meanings of Religiosity, Morality and Civility

Audiences and Narratives

Hon Fai Chen, Lingnan University, Hong Kong Series: Routledge Religion in Contemporary Asia Series

Nicole Talmacs, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China Series: Routledge Studies on China in Transition

Catholicism has had an important place in Macau since the earliest days of Portuguese colonisation in the sixteenth century. This book, based on extensive original research including in-depth interviews, examines in detail the everyday life of Catholics in Macau at present. It shows how, despite facing challenges, the personal piety and ethical religious outlook of individual Catholics continue strong, and have a huge, and possibly increasing, impact on public life through the application of personal religious ethics to issues of human rights and social justice, and in the fields of education and social service.

China’s commercial film industry can be used as a map to understand how class is interwoven into the imaginations that inform and influence social change in Chinese society. Film consumption is important in this process, particularly for young adult urbanites that are China’s primary commercial cinema patrons. This book investigates the web between the representation of class themes in Chinese film narratives, local audience reception to these films, and the socialisation of China’s contemporary class society.

China's Developmental Keynesianism

China's Multinationals - The Resource Sector

A Lesson for Crisis Response

Huaichuan Rui, Brunel University, UK Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy

Yang Jiang, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Series: China Policy Series This book looks at the policies that China adopted in response to the global financial crisis, with particular focus on the concepts of Keynesianism and developmental state. It discusses where China sits in the Keynesianism debate, and questions whether Chinese developmental Keynesianism is a recommendable model for other countries. The book goes on to look at the implications that the Chinese crisis response has for China and for world economy, and argues that both the concepts of Keynesianism and developmental state have been hijacked by Chinese policymakers in the process of partial reform and political consolidation.

This book examines the foreign direct investment activities of China’s multinationals, focusing in particular on the resource sector - that is by firms involved in oil, gas, mining, metal and other resource-based industries - which accounts for a large proportion of China’s overall foreign direct investment activities.

China's Global Quest for Resources

China's New Public Health Insurance

Energy, Food and Water

Challenges to Health Reforms and the New Rural Co-operative Medical System

Edited by Fengshi Wu and Hongzhou Zhang Series: China Policy Series

Armin Müller Series: China Policy Series

The world’s key resources of energy, food and water, which are closely connected and interdependent on each other, are coming under increasing pressure. In the case of China, following its recent economic surge, energy, food and water are already nearing the point of shortage. This book considers how China is working to avoid shortages of energy, food and water, and the effect this is having internationally. Subjects covered include domestic policy debates, transboundary water management, and China’s increasing energy links with Russia. The book concludes by discussing China’s outward resource acquisition activities and the consequent policy implications.

The New Rural Co-operative Medical System (NRCMS) constitutes the main system of public health insurance in China today. This book outlines the nature of the system, traces the processes of its enactment and implementation, and discusses its strengths and weaknesses. It argues that the contested nature of the fields of health policy and social security has long been overlooked, and reinterprets the NRCMS as a compromise between opposing political interests. Furthermore, it argues that structural institutional misfits facilitate fiscal imbalances and a culture of non-compliance in local health policy, which distort the outcomes of the implementation and limit the effectiveness of insurance.

China's Rise and the Chinese Overseas

Chinese Animation, Creative Industries and Digital Culture

Edited by Bernard Wong, San Francisco State University, USA and Chee-Beng TAN, Sun Yat-Sen University, China Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Weihua Wu, Communication University of China

This book discusses and explores the impact of the rise of China on the Chinese communities throughout the world, including case studies from North America, Latin America, Australasia, Europe, Asia and Africa. It also examines how the rise of China has affected the identity and community organizations of the various locales of the ethnic Chinese and how the rise of China has affected the circular migration and transnational movements, and the social/economic relations of the ethnic Chinese communities with their host societies and their ancestral country.

This book explores the development of the Chinese animation film industry from the beginning of China’s reform process up to the present. It discusses above all the relationship between the communist state’s policies to stimulate "creative industries", concepts of creativity and aesthetics, and the creation and maintenance , through changing circumstances, of a "national style" by Chinese animators. The book also examines the relationship between Chinese animation, changing technologies including the rise first of television and then of digital media, and youth culture, demonstrating the importance of Chinese animation in Chinese youth culture in the digital age.

China's Soviet Dream

Chinese Foreign Policy Under Xi

Propaganda, Culture, and Popular Imagination Yan Li, Oakland University, USA Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series This book examines the introduction of Soviet socialist culture in the People’s Republic of China, focusing on the period of Sino-Soviet friendship in the 1950s. The state initiative to transplant Soviet culture into Chinese soil has conventionally been dismissed as a tool of propaganda and political indoctrination. This book reveals that this transnational engagement not only facilitated China’s broader transition to socialist modernity but also generated consequences that outlasted the propaganda. Based on archival findings, newspapers, magazines and interviews, it delves into changes in Chinese popular imagination and everyday aesthetics contingent upon Soviet influence.

Kaori Abe Series: Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia The traditional view of the Hong Kong colonial economy is that it was dominated by Western companies, notably the great British merchant houses, and that these firms enlisted support from Chinese middlemen – the compradors – who were effectively agents working for the Western firms. This book, which presents a comprehensive overview of the compradors and their economic and social functions over the full period of colonial rule in Hong Kong, puts forward a different view, demonstrating that the compradors were active participants, not just passive servants of Western companies.

Chinese State Owned Enterprises in West Africa

Civil Society in China and Taiwan

Triple-embedded globalization

Agency, Class and Boundaries

Katy Ngan Ting Lam, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Series: Routledge Studies on Asia in the World Lam challenges the dominant vision of "a powerful China in Africa", and argues that the so-called "Chinese business advantages" – monolithic Chinese state and Chinese low cost advantages, are non-viable for sustaining Chinese business development in the continent. Considering the Chinese SOEs globalization process in a relational approach, this book examines how the triple embeddedness (Chinese, African and managerial) shapes the Chinese SOEs globalization process over time and space, in diverse dimensions and among different entities – the Chinese state, Chinese SOEs, Chinese expatriates, the African government, African business partners, African staff, and the African society.

Taru Salmenkari, Universiteit Leiden, Netherlands Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series This book will use thorough empirical research to criticize and expand the narrow understanding of civil society used in Chinese studies.

Focusing on the local developments yet mindful of the international backdrop, this volume will explore the imaginaries of law and order that these movements engendered, revealing a complex interplay among evolving notions of justice, governance, law and order, and cultural creations throughout the under-explored history of instability in Hong Kong. Underscoring the apparently contrasting discourses on the relationship among the rule of law, law and order, and social movements in Hong Kong, the contributors emphasise the need to re-examine the conventional juxtaposition of the law and civil unrest.

Political discourse in 21st century China is intimately linked to the patriotic reverie of reviving China as a great civilisation, a dream of reformers since the beginning of the twentieth century as the imperial rule was unravelling. The concept and use of the discourse of suzhi – a term that denotes the idea of cultivating a ‘quality’ citizenship – is central to this program of rejuvenation and is enjoying a revival. This book is the first to offer an accessible and comprehensive analysis of suzhi and critical analysis of this predominant discourse in China.

Classical Roman and Chinese Empires Compared Parallel Worlds

Culture Politics and Linguistic Recognition in Taiwan

Robert Gardella and Jonathan Perry

Ethnicity, National Identity, and the Party System

This book presents a systematic, comprehensive study of two imperial systems that were arguably the most complex, broadly influential entities to have arisen in antiquity. This text is designed to offer a comparative introduction to the empires of Rome and Qin-Han China, examining the formation, consolidation, further evolution and disintegration of these two complex states. The work represents a timely study in terms of the rapidly growing academic interest in macro-historical, comparative assessments of imperial systems, and translates those understandings into an accessible study that will prove valuable to students, scholars and the general public.

Jean-François Dupré Series: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series This book examines how the interplay of ethnicity, national identity and party politics has shaped current debates on national culture and linguistic recognition in Taiwan. It suggests that the ethnolinguistic distribution of the electorate has led parties to adopt distinctive strategies in an attempt to broaden their ethnic support bases, prompting them to express their antagonistic ideologies of Taiwanese and Chinese nationalism through more liberal conceptions of language rights. By investigating Taiwan’s counterintuitive ethnolinguistic situation, the book argues that constraints to cultural and linguistic recognition in Taiwan are shaped by political rather than cultural and sociolinguistic factors.

Competing Economic Paradigms in China

Daoism in Modern China

Steve Cohn, Knox College, USA Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Edited by Vincent Goossaert, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, France and Xun Liu, Rutgers University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Taoism

When the Chinese economic reforms began in 1978, Marxist economics infused all the institutions of economic theory in China, from academic departments and economics journals to government departments and economic think tanks. By the year 2000, neoclassical economics dominated these institutions and organised most economic discussion. This book explains how and why neoclassical economic theory became the dominant economics paradigm in China. It rejects the idea that the rise of neoclassical theory was a triumph of reason over ideology, and instead links the rise to broad ideological currents and to the political-economic projects that key social groups wanted to enable.

The modern history of Chinese temples and Daoism go hand in hand, and while both temples and Daoists serve Chinese society, the relationship between the two has yet to be thoroughly analysed.

Critical Issues in Contemporary China

Debating Culture in Interwar China

Unity, Stability and Development

Ya-pei Kuo, Leiden University, the Netherlands Series: Routledge/Leiden Series in Modern East Asian Politics, History and Media

Edited by Czeslaw Tubilewicz, University of Adelaide, Australia Critical Issues in Contemporary China: Unity, Stability and Development comprehensively examines key problems crucial to understanding modern-day China. Organized around three inter-related themes of unity, stability and development, chapters explore distinct issues (such as miliarty transformation, energy security, health and education) and debate their significance for domestic China and Beijing’s engagement with the wider world. A fully revised and substantially expanded new edition, this book provides a thorough and up-to-date assessment of major political, social and economic challenges facing China.

The May Fourth era (1915-1927) is considered a pivotal point in the history of modern China and the period is usually portrayed as a "Chinese Enlightenment". Kuo challenges the revolution-centered narrative by showing how the propositions of New Culture were questioned and revised after the initial radical phase.

Yan Zhang Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy How different from or similar to the English idea of “the commons” is the idea in China; and how is the concept applied? This book explores this important subject. It considers the concept widely and examines how it applies to the hydropower developments along the Lancang River, outlining the different competing interests of local people, central and provincial government, and environmental considerations. It argues that the concept of “the commons” in China is dual-dimensional, with a vertical dimension of “public authority” and a horizontal dimension of “commonly sharing”, and that power structures in China have often been flexible and polycentric.

History and Citizenship Education in Post-Mao China

Intellectual Discourse in Reform Era China The Debate on the Spirit of the Humanities in the 1990s Giorgio Strafella Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Politics, Policy, Praxis Alisa Jones, Stanford University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Education and Society in Asia This book examines the development of education in China over the past three decades, exploring the ways in which the manifold ‘contradictions’ both within and between policy prescriptions, pedagogical theory and classroom implementation have been handled where issues of political socialisation, national identification and public morality are at stake.

This book explores intellectual discourse in reform era China by analysing the so-called “debate on the spirit of the Humanities”, which occurred in the years 1993-95. This debate was the first in China after the crackdown of 1989 and the launch of new economic reforms in 1992. The book, drawing on a large corpus of texts and a wide range of individual positions, demonstrates how Chinese intellectuals, having to face the combination of political repression and economic liberalisation, conceptualised and reacted to both. In addition, the book reveals the nature of intellectual life in China, and the divisions within the intellectual sphere as well as shared concepts and ideals.

Is Democratisation in China Possible?

Migration in Post-Colonial Hong Kong

The Authoritarian Path to Development

Edited by Susanne Y.P. Choi, Chinese University Hong Kong and Eric Fong, University of Toronto, Canada Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Tang Liang, Waseda University, Japan Series: China Policy Series This book examines the various stages of China's development, in the economic, social and political fields, relating theories and models of development to what is actually occurring in China, and discussing how China's development is likely to progress. It argues that the present phase, with increasing emphasis on social issues, is likely to lead to a new phase where a more mature civil society and a more extensive middle class will look for greater democratisation. It presents an in-depth analysis of China's changing social structure and civil society and assesses the prospects for further democratisation in the light of changing social structures.

Since 1995 most mainland migrants to Hong Kong have been the wives or non-adult children of Hong Kong men of lower socio-economic status. The majority of immigrants are women, who throughout the past two decades have accounted for more than 60% of immigration. Examining the questions around migration into Hong Kong from a range of multidisciplinary perspectives, this book combines quantitative and qualitative data to portray a detailed image of contemporary Hong Kong.

Shan Wei, National University of Singapore Series: China Policy Series This book examines how market reforms and the changing nature of the Chinese state have made a huge impact on how ordinary Chinese people in rural areas relate to authority. The book argues that recent changes in China are leading to a less authoritarian, more egalitarian style of leadership. It goes on to argue that this different style of leadership is having profound consequences for social cohesion, good governance, and efficiency in economic production and service provision. The book concludes that this changed relationship between citizens and officials is highly pertinent to the future political development of China overall, with the potential to bring about very significant changes.

Markets and Governance in China's Urban Transformation

Popular Politics and the Quest for Justice in Contemporary China

Zhihua Zhou Series: China Policy Series

Edited by Susanne Brandtstädter, Cologne University, Germany and Hans Steinmüller, London School of Economics, UK Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

China has been undergoing rapid urbanisation in recent years. Large numbers of people have migrated from rural to urban areas. At the same time market forces have come into play, and have affected the layout and nature of cities. However, although state control over urban development has weakened from the socialist model of pre-reform times, it continues to have a big impact. This book explores the interplay of market and government in shaping urban development. It outlines the nature of urban development in China, examines the extent to which the markets in land and housing affect development, and discusses the impact of non-market forces including citizen participation in governance. Routledge Market: Chinese Studies / Urban Studies September 2017: 234x156: 240pp Hb: 978-1-138-23523-6: £105.00 eBook: 978-1-315-28177-3 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9781138235236

This book examines facets of popular politics that are, above all, animated by a quest for justice as law, fairness and public virtue. The aim is to better understand how "the political" emerges in the interstices of state law and local moralities. The contributors to the book focus on the interplay between private and public spaces, between morality and law, and between ‘front stage’ and ‘back stage,’ to explore how the common quest for justice, which takes on state slogans but cannot be absorbed by state institutions, changes Chinese society from the bottom-up by creating self-reflective new publics.

Postmodernism and Contemporary Chinese Avant-Garde Fiction

Rethinking South China Sea Disputes

Yongchun Cai, Macau University of Science and Technology Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series This book examines the work of a group of young avant garde fiction writers who emerged on the Chinese literary scene from the mid-1980s onwards. Exhibiting strategies of anti-mainstream, anti-paradigmatic discourse these writers debunked the traditional literary conventions of a hitherto very closed Chinese society using literary modes such as metafiction, narrative strategy and postmodernist language. This book will help its readers to understand why the Chinese avant garde were so closely related to Chinese politics, and how they played a role in bringing social and cultural change in China.

It employs legal-analytical methods, to emphasize the nuances of the role and interpretation of international law and treaties by China in different periods, while taking into account policy and strategic concerns, which generally cast great sways in decision-making. The South China Sea Dispute aims to unveil a nuanced evolution of the issue with a confluence of inter-temporal law, policy and maritime practices in the South China Sea.

Marcia Butler, Missouri State University, USA Series: Asian States and Empires Through a detailed study of the new military treatises produced by China’s Song dynasty, this book shows how important for warfare, and for Song government generally, were new rituals where cultural and supernatural emblems mimicked natural forces and became themselves objects for the production of power. The book thereby casts a great deal of light on the nature of the Song regime overall. Moreover, the book argues that the new rituals and associated cosmology and ideology, once disseminated widely throughout society, were one of the factors which in time led to the decline and overthrow of the Song dynasty.

This book offers readers an introduction to the development of social movements in Taiwan by examining a number of important movement case studies that focus on the post 2008 period. The KMT’s return to power radically changed the political environment for Taiwan’s civil society and so we consider how social activists responded to this new political opportunity structure. The case chapters are written by authors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and methodological approaches, and most of the chapters are based on extensive fieldwork.

Social Movements in Taiwan’s Democratic Transition

Television Drama in Contemporary China Political, social and cultural phenomena Shenshen Cai, University of Melbourne, Australia Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Linking Activists to the Changing Political Environment Yun Fan, National Taiwan University Series: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series

This book examines a group of recently released TV drama serials in China which focus upon, and to various degrees represent, topical political, social and cultural phenomena. Through in-depth textual analysis of the plots, scenes and characters of these selected TV serials, the book provides timely interpretations of contemporary Chinese society, its political inclinations, social fashions and cultural tendencies. The book also demonstrates how popular media narratives of TV drama serials engage with sensitive civic issues and cultural phenomena of modern-day China, which in turn encourages a broader social imagination and potential for change.

Focusing on activists’ relationship to the changing political environment, this book analyses the trajectories of three major social movements in Taiwan during the country’s democratic transition between 1980 and 2000. Specifically, it explores why the labor and environmental movements became less partisan, while the women’s movement became more partisan. Providing a comparative discussion of these key social movements, this book both explores key theoretical questions and presents a rich and comprehesive analysis of social activism during Taiwan’s democratic transition.

Space, Politics, and Cultural Representation in Modern China

The Chinese and Indian Corporate Economies

Cartographies of Revolution

A Comparative History of their Search for Economic Renaissance and Globalization

Enhua Zhang Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series

Raj Brown Series: Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia

This book examines the relationship between revolution, space, and culture in modern China by taking five spatially significant revolutionary events as case studies - the territorial dispute between Russia and the Qing dynasty in 1892, the Land Reform in the 1920s, the Long March (1934-36), the mainland-Taiwan split in 1949, and the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) - and analyzing how revolution constructs, conceives, and transforms space. The book argues that in addition to redirecting the flow of Chinese history, revolutionary movements operate in and on space in three main ways: maintaining territorial sovereignty, redefining social relations, and governing an imaginary realm.

This book examines the economic growth of China and India, and takes a long historical view, combining economic history with an analysis of the current situation. It considers the nature of capitalism in the two countries, their institutional structures, legal frameworks, state industrial strategies, and their different approaches to state-owned enterprises and the encouragement of entrepreneurs and investors. It thereby provides a comprehensive overview of the strategic factors driving growth in both countries. It shows that growth is not driven by an imitation of Western models, and concludes by assessing the prospects for continued growth in future in both China and

Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Policy Changes Xufeng Zhu Series: China Policy Series Although China is characterized as an authoritarian state, there is in fact a great deal of consultation in the policy making process. This often involves experts, many of whom are based in think tanks or similar institutions. The degree of access to the policy making process varies, and consequently some experts influence the policy making process significantly and others not. This book explores how experts in China engage with the policy making process and the circumstances which affect how far they are able to influence policy making.

The Economic Cycle and the Growth of the Chinese Economy

Transforming Chinese Cities

Li Jianwei Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy The nature of the economic cycle has been a long-standing problem for economists. Key questions include: What are the causes of the economic cycle? Are the causes endogenous or exogenous? and Why is the economic cycle irregular? This book explores the theory of the economic cycle in relation to economic growth in China. The book concludes that the cause of the economic cycle is endogenous, that the periodic fluctuation of economic growth and its dynamic equilibrium are natural aspects of the growth of the economy, and it puts forward a new model of the economic cycle which confidently predicts the future trajectory of China’s economic growth.

Edited by Mark Y. Wang, University of Melbourne, Australia, Pookong Kee, University of Melbourne, Australia and Jia Gao, University of Melbourne, Australia Series: Routledge Contemporary China Series The urbanisation of China over the last three decades has been a hugely significant development, both for China’s reform process and for the world more generally.

The Political Economy of Banking Governance in China

Transitions to Modernity in Taiwan

Xuming Yang Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy

Niki Alsford, SOAS, UK Series: Routledge Research on Taiwan Series

Chinese state banks, which were considered technically insolvent in the 1990s, are at present among the largest and most important banks in the world. This book, based on the author’s research and also on his extensive experience of working is Chinese banks, explores how Chinese banks’ technical efficiency and organizational flexibility have been achieved whilst ownership and control by the Chinese Communist Party has continued. The author reveals a distinctly non-Western approach to corporate governance, but one which has nevertheless worked very well.

In 1895, British Consul Lionel Charles Hopkins was summoned by Tang Jingsong, the governor of Taiwan, to his yamen in the the walled city of Taipei. Hopkins was handed a petition appealing to the British government to incorporate the island into a protectorate in the wake of an impending Japanese invasion. The British declined. This book investigates this pivotal moment in Taiwan’s history, in order to understand local social history in a transnational and regional context. It is in the writing of this kind of local history that the micro-historical contexts of northern Taiwan uncover social, political, and economic forces that, in the 19th century, were both vibrant and cosmopolitan.

Urbanization in China

Wind Power In China

Edited by Margaret Crawford, University of California Berkeley, USA, Marco Cenzatti, University of California Berkeley, USA and Jiong Wu, University of California Berkeley, USA Series: Critical Concepts in Urban Studies Since the "Opening Up" period of 1978-80, China has urbanized with unprecedented speed, and with little thought for environmental and social consequences. Scholars striving to understand and analyze the remarkable and often contradictory urban phenomena have contributed to a large English language literature in multiple disciplines. This collection, organized chronologically and thematically, will allow easy access to key works on Chinese urbanization covering a range of topics across three decades of research, clarifying the shifting and often confusing terrain of urban scholarship on China.

Julia Kirkegaard Series: Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy Whilst China’s growing economy is responsible for severe environmental degradation and relies heavily on fossil fuel energy, China is at the same time a leader in new green technology. This book explores the interplay in China between economic growth, new sustainable energy, the import of foreign technology, the political decision making process, and the economics of energy pricing and its impact. Although the book focuses on wind power, the analysis has much wider implications. One key observation is the growing importance of advanced software technology for managing, pricing and keeping sustainable new sources of energy, for which China is very dependent on foreign expertise.

Uyghur Conceptions of Family and Society

Women Migrants in China

Xiaowei Zang, City University of Hong Kong Series: Routledge Studies on Ethnicity in Asia

Bargaining against Patriarchy

This book is a study of minority subjective experiences in China, contributing to the literature on ethnic studies in China. Empirically, it examines what Uyghur Muslims think of spousal relations and wife battery, parenting and discipline, trust, community engagement, economic justice, autonomy, and life satisfaction. It uses both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a description of Uyghur perceptions. Data were gathered from fieldwork in Ürümchi, which include field observations, in-depth interviews, and a survey and the concluding analyses show a high degree of Uyghur conformity to global norms on family and society.

Animism in Contemporary Japan

Climate Change Policy in Japan

Shoko Yoneyama Series: Routledge Contemporary Japan Series

From the 1980s to 2015

The book explores the notion of animism through the lens of four prominent figures in Japan: Minamata fisherman Ogata Masato, Minamata writer Ishimure Michiko, sociologist Tsurumi Kazuko, and animator Miyazaki Hayao. It contends that animism is at the core of the work of these people who represent contemporary Japan in the fields of citizens’ movements, literature, sociology and popular culture, respectively; and that animism is the conclusion they came up with as a means to survive modernity. Adopting a biographical approach, the book aims to illuminate animism, and thus address two big lacuna in social science: human-nature relationships and the question of soul and spirituality.

Yasuko Kameyama, National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan Series: Routledge Studies in Asia and the Environment Amidst growing environmental concerns worldwide, Japan is seen as particularly vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate. This book analyses the Japanese government’s response to the climate change problem from the late 1980s up to the present day. As the 2015 international climate change conference projects beyond 2020, the book concludes by analysing how Japan has placed itself in the global climate change debate and how the country might and should respond to the problem in the future. This is the first book to explore Japan’s climate change policy over three decades and will interest students and scholars of Japanese Studies, Comparative Politics and Climate Change Policy.

Becoming International in Japan

Ending the Postwar in Japan

Class, Ethnicity and Early Childhood Education

Structure, Actors, Norms and Challenges

Yuki Imoto, Keio University, Japan Series: Japan Anthropology Workshop Series

Edited by Hiroko Takeda and Glenn D. Hook, University of Sheffield, UK Series: Sheffield Centre for Japanese Studies/Routledge Series

This book, based on extensive original research, examines international pre-schools in Japan. It discusses the motivation of parents, teachers and others involved, and shows how international pre-schools exemplify a tension within Japanese society more widely concerning the extent to which Japan should internationalise, a tension which often becomes acute for international pre-school children as they reach the age of compulsory education and their lack of "Japaneseness" in relation to children who have not been to international pre-schools becomes apparent.

The cross-boundary and cross-disciplinary nature of this book is designed to elucidate heterogeneous Japan, in contrast to the more conventional understanding of Japan as a homogeneous and ‘unified’ whole. This collection offers a new approach to the understanding of contemporary Japan.

Censorship in Japan

Escaping Japan

Heung Wah Wong and Hoi Yan Yau Series: Routledge Culture, Society, Business in East Asia Series

Reflections on Estrangement and Exile in the Twenty-First Century

This book explores censorship, particularly film and video censorship, in Japan in modern times. It shows how most censorship has been the industry exercising self-censorship, but how this system has been problematic in that it has allowed dominant players to impose their own standards and exclude independent film makers. It outlines notable obscenity cases, and discusses how industry self-censorship bodies have been undermined both by industry outsiders setting up alternative regimes, and by the industry self-censorship bodies themselves being prosecuted for obscenity. The book also examines the conflict between the obscenity law and the freedom of speech law.

Edited by Blai Guanren and Paul Hansen Series: Japan Anthropology Workshop Series The idea that Japan is a socially homogenous, uniform society has been increasingly challenged in recent years. This book takes further the resulting view that Japan is socially and culturally complex by exploring this complexity in relation to particular life situations, exploring the extent to which specific situations, personal experiences and lifestyle choices influence this complexity. Adopting an ethnographic approach, and considering a range of “escapes” including physical “escapes” and also metaphorical “escapes”, the book provides a rich picture of the complex nature of contemporary Japan’s society and culture.

Gender and the Koseki In Contemporary Japan

Happiness and the Good Life in Japan

Linda White Series: Routledge Contemporary Japan Series

Edited by Wolfram Manzenreiter and Barbara Holthus Series: Japan Anthropology Workshop Series

This book engages with gender hierarchy and structural inequality in Japanese society and examines the household register, koseki, one of the central structures shaping gender in Japan today.

Contemporary Japan is in a state of transition, caused by the forces of globalization that are derailing its ailing economy, stalemating the political establishment and generating alternative lifestyles and possibilities of the self. Amongst this nascent change, Japanese society is confronted with new challenges to answer the fundamental question of how to live a good life of meaning, purpose and value. This book, based on extensive fieldwork and original research, considers how specific groups of Japanese people view and strive for the pursuit of happiness. It examines the importance of relationships, family, identity, community and self-fulfilment, amongst other factors.

Japan’s Environmental Politics and Governance

Japanese Politics and Government

From Trading Nation to EcoNation

Alisa Gaunder, Southwestern University, USA

Yasuo Takao, Curtin University, Australia Series: Routledge Studies in Asia and the Environment This book investigates the emerging actors and new channels of Japan’s environmental governance which has been taking shape within an increasingly globalized international system. By analysing this important new phenomenon, it sheds light on the changing nature of Japan’s environmental policy and politics, and shows how the links between global strategies, national mandates and local action serve as an influential factor in Japan’s changing structures of environmental governance. Further, it demonstrates that decision-making competencies are shared between actors operating at different levels and in new spheres of authority, resulting from collaboration between state and non-state actors.

This textbook investigates Japanese politics in the postwar era from theoretical and comparative perspectives. After providing historical context, it offers an in-depth exploration of postwar political institutions, political reform in the 1990s, the policymaking process, and the politics of economic growth and stagnation. The author draws attention to key policy issues including women and work, immigration, Japanese aging/low fertility society and Constitutional revision. By delving into Japan’s international relations, the book sheds light on Japan’s security and trade policies, Japan’s role in the Asian region, and Japan’s bilateral relations with the U.S., China, South Korea and the EU.

Using Aera, (a non-profit North Korean welfare organisation in Japan) as the case study, Lee investigates how this group utilises and mobilises Japanese state policies, especially the social welfare system, for its own political purposes.

In twenty-first century Japan there are numerous instances of media harassment, intimidation, censorship and self-censorship that undermine the freedom of the press. Since Abe returned to power in 2012, the recrudescence of nationalism has emboldened right-wing activists and organizations targeting liberal media outlets, journalists, peace museums, and ethnic Korean residents. This text is divided into five sections that cover: Politics of Press Freedom, The Legal Landscape, History and Culture, Marginalization, PR, Public Diplomacy and Manipulating Opinion. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the politics of freedom of expression in the Abe era.

The book discusses the shifting notions of happiness during people’s lives from birth to death, analyzing the age group-specific experiences while taking into consideration people's life trajectories and historical changes. It points also out recent developments in regards to demographic change, late marriage, and the changing labor market.

The Dismantling of Japan's Empire in East Asia

The Politics of Visual Culture in Japan

Deimperialization, Postwar Legitimation and Imperial Afterlife

Vera Mackie, University of Melbourne, Australia Series: Routledge Studies in Asia's Transformations

Edited by Barak Kushner and Sherzod Muminov Series: Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia The end of Japan’s empire appeared to happen very suddenly, and cleanly – but, as this book shows, it was in fact very messy, with a long period of establishing or re-establishing the postwar order. Moreover, as the authors argue, empires have afterlifes, which, in the case of Japan’s empire, is not much studied. This book considers the details of de-imperialization, including repatriation of Japanese personnel, the redrawing of boundaries, issues to do with prisoners of war and war criminals, new arrangements for democratic political institutions, for media and for the regulation of trade.

Vera Mackie takes the original approach of using examples of the extraordinary visual culture (a poster, a cartoon, a postage stamp, a photograph, a painting or digital collage) of the last century to bring new insights into the political and cultural history of twentieth century Japan.

Unmarried Women in Japan The drift into singlehood Akiko Yoshida, University of Wisconsin, USA Series: Routledge Research on Gender in Asia Series This book aims to answer the question of why many women remain single in Japan, based on life history interview research conducted in Japan. It argues that singlehood increased in Japan due largely to structural barriers and culture, which have caused many women to drift into singlehood. From interviewees’ life history accounts, Yoshida reconstructs the social, cultural, and economic contexts lived through by women of age groups with high never-married rates, and demonstrates how these contexts have had profound impacts on life courses of women, many of whom remain unmarried against their wishes and despite their intent to marry.

This book traces the impact the chaebols have had on the development of South Korea’s industrial relations system from the 1960s to the present. The book also relates developments in industrial relations to changing political circumstances, from military dictatorships to democracy, to a world with more autonomous governments, more militant unions, and more pluralistic and even radical industrial relations.

Many defectors from North Korea to South Korea are elite people, who had privileged lives in North Korea. Many of these were North Koreans studying in Eastern Europe around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and who defected at that time. These people, marked out as high flyers by the North Korean regime, have high levels of social and cultural capital, and have risen to positions of leadership and authority in South Korea. This book, which presents detailed case studies of individual North Korean defectors, explores the reasons for their defection, examines how they have adjusted to life in South Korea, and discusses the implications in all this for national reunification.

Michael Shin Series: Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia Nationalism in Korea emerged within a relatively short space of time. This book examines the emergence of the nation as the hegemonic form of collective identity during the colonial period. It focuses on Yi Gwangsu (1892-1951), a pioneering novelist, newspaper editor, and leader of the nationalist movement, who was directly involved in many aspects of its emergence, and also focuses on the March First Movement of 1919, widely seen as one of the major turning points of modern Korean history. By focusing on Yi Gwangsu, the book provides a new understanding of the March First Movement and its role in the emergence of the nation.

Cultural Policy in South Korea

Korea's Pop Music Industry

From Cultural Control to the Korean Wave

Joseph Hyosup Kim, Seung-Ho Kwon and Chung-Sok Suh Series: Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia

Hye-Kyung Lee, King’s College London, UK Series: Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia Series The control and promotion of culture have been bound up with politics in Korea to a surprising degree. This book traces the development of cultural policy in South Korea from Japanese colonial rule to the present day, highlighting this strong connection to wider government policy. Amongst many other subjects, the book discusses how the arts have largely relied on government financing; how the cultural industries engaged with the democratisation movement in the 1970s and 1980s; how more recent governments have promoted autonomy for the cultural sector; and how Korean arts have boomed in the twenty-first century, and have become an international phenomenon.

Death and Dying in India

Race, Boundary Making and Communal Nationalism

Suhita Chopra Chatterjee, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India and Jaydeep Sengupta, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India

Uther Charlton-Stevens Series: Royal Asiatic Society Books Anglo-Indians are a mixed-race, Christian and Anglophone minority community which arose in India during the long period of European colonialism. An often neglected part of the British ‘Raj’, their presence complicates the traditional binary through which British imperialism in South Asia is viewed – of ruler and ruled, coloniser and colonised. This book looks at how Anglo-Indians illuminate the history of minority politics in the transition from British colonial rule in South Asia to independence.

Democratisation is a formidable task in the Himalayan region owing to its immense cultural heterogeneity. The process of democratisation has accentuated ethnic competition, assertion of identity and demand for ethnic homelands to protect, safeguard and promote political and development interests of various groups. The book argues that the play of ethnicity, the creation of political parties and interest groups, the emergence of social movements, the voice of protest and opposition do not indicate a crisis in democracy, but comprise the instruments by which the state is pushed towards reform, welfare, inclusive politics, and is obliged to listen to the people.

Digital Queer Cultures in India

Gandhi

Politics, Intimacies and Belonging

An Impossible Possibility

Rohit K. Dasgupta, Lecturer, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK.

Sudhir Chandra, Nantes Institute of Advanced Studies, France and Chitra Padmanabhan, Chitra Padmanabhan, Independent journalist and writer.

The work argues that new media, social networking sites (SNS), both web and mobile, and related technologies do not exist in isolation, rather they are critically embedded within other social spaces. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, especially men's and masculinity studies, queer and LGBT studies, media and cultural studies, particularly new media and digital culture, sexuality and identity, politics, sociology & social anthropology, and South Asian studies.

For a man who made such a powerful intervention in the history of the 20th century, many of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas were misunderstood during his lifetime. This book draws our attention to Gandhi’s last years, particularly the marked change in his understanding of the acceptance of non-violence by Indians. It points to a startling discovery Gandhi made in the years preceding India’s Independence and Partition: the struggle for freedom which he had all along believed to be non-violent was in fact not so. Calling for a serious rethink on the very nature and foundation of modern India, this book throws new light on Gandhian philosophy and its far-reaching implications for the world today.

Looking at the early history of Jainism, from 6 century BCE onwards, this book focuses on one of the 24 Jinas that are identified as the main religious leaders of Jainism. It is a rd

commonly accepted hypothesis that Parsvanatha, the 23 Jina, is an historical figure whose th

values were modified by Mahavira, the 24 Jina. The book challenges this hypothesis by analysing a wide range of textual sources, some of which have never been examined in rd

the context of the 23 Jina. Routledge Market: Asian Studies, Religion, History June 2017: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-1-138-77482-7: £70.00 eBook: 978-1-315-77428-2 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9781138774827

Understanding masculine hegemony Prem Kumar Vijayan, previously Institute of Social Studies (ISS), The Hague, The Netherlands Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics This book analyses the broader social base of Hindu nationalist organisation in order to understand the growth of 'Hinduva', or Hindu nationalism. It also puts forward the argument that Hindu nationalist thought and predilections are not just the ideological constructions of specific political and/or 'cultural' agents and agencies, but emerge out of, and in turn feed, pre-existing gendered tendencies. This concept is defined as 'masculine hegemony', specifically Brahmanical masculine hegemony.

Shoba Arun Series: Routledge Research on Asian Development Using Kerala as a model, Globalisation, Development and Gender Capital in India will explore the forces of globalisation and how they are embedded in power structures, which in many ways re-create and reinforce power relations that reflect tropes of mobility, victimhood and agency.

Gender, Development and the State in India

Governance in South Asia

Carole Spary, University of York, UK Series: Routledge Research on Gender in Asia Series

Edited by Rumki Basu and M. Shamsur Rahman

Exploring how three factors – institutions, discourse and agency – influence the formation of state policy on gender and development in India post-1990, this book examines how this issue plays out at multiple levels of governance – at both the national and the subnational (state) level in federal India. It shows how the Indian empirical case is illuminating for studies of the gendered politics of development as it highlights the politics of negotiating gender equality strategies in the contemporary context of neo-liberal development, and brings together complex issues of modernity, postcolonialism, identity politics, and equality within the broader context of the world’s largest democracy.

This book presents a nuanced analysis of governance in South Asia. It examines a range of themes including civil service reforms, women and development, environmental governance and public sector programmes, together with the impact of the globalisation on local issues and their influence on governance in the region. Through grassroots studies, the volume also traces how the last 20 years have seen a social and economic resurgence in South Asia — transiting from stages of poverty, low growth rates, illiteracy and poor health to flourishing economies, improved savings, greater investments and stronger human development indicators.

Gender, Nation and Popular Film in India

Government and Politics in Sri Lanka

Globalizing Muscular Nationalism

Biopolitics and Security

Sikata Banerjee, University of Victoria, Canada Series: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series

Ayshwarya Rajith Sriskanda Rajah, Brunel University, UK Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics

By drawing on popular films, this book unpacks a particular gendered vision of nation in the modern Indian context. This "muscular nationalism" is an intersection of a specific vision of masculinity with the political doctrine of nationalism: the idea of nation is animated by an idea of manhood associated with martial prowess, muscular strength and toughness, but coupled with the image and construct of virtuous woman – a gendered binary, martial man/chaste woman.

This book analyses where Sri Lanka stands as a state that has in place liberal democratic state-institutions but exhibits the characteristics of an authoritarian state. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, the author argues that Sri Lanka enacted racist legislations and perpetrated mass-atrocities on the Tamils as part of its biopolitics of institutionalising and securing a Sinhala-Buddhist ethnocratic state-order. The book also explores the ways that, apart from military action, power relations produce the effects of battle, and thus the way that peace can often become a means of waging war.

Hindu Images and their Worship with special reference to Vaisnavism

HIV/AIDS in India

A philosophical-theological inquiry

Sunita Manian, Georgia College and State University, USA

Julius Lipner, University of Cambridge, UK Series: Routledge Hindu Studies Series This book focuses on Hindu images and their worship with special reference to Vaisnavism, a major strand of Hinduism. Concentrating largely, but not exclusively, on Sanskritic source material, the author shows in the course of the book that Hindu image-worship may be understood via three levels of interpretation: the metaphysical/theological, the narratival or mythic, and the performative or ritual.

Hindu Nationalism, History and Identity in India

Identity and Experience at the India-Bangladesh Border

Narrating a Hindu past under the BJP Lars Tore Flåten, University of Oslo, Norway Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian History In 2002, a reorganization of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) under Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule occurred, and four new history textbooks were published. This study examines these textbooks as integral to BJP’s identity political agenda. It analyses the ways in which they defined and invoked Hindu identity. Employing the concept of decontextualization, the author argues that notions of Hindu cultural similarity were produced, in particular as the textbook paid scarce attention to social, geographical and temporal contexts in their approaches to Indian history.

Imperialism and Sikh Migration

India Migration Report 2016

The Komagata Maru Incident

Gulf migration

Anjali Gera Roy, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India

Edited by S. Irudaya Rajan

This book focuses on the Komagata Maru episode of 1914: This Japanese ship was chartered by Gurdit Singh, a prosperous Sikh businessman from Malaya. It carried 376 passengers from Punjab and was not permitted to land in Vancouver on grounds of a stipulation about a continuous journey from the port of departure and forced to return to Kolkata where the passengers were fired at, imprisoned or kept under surveillance. The author isolates juridical procedures, tactics and apparatus of security through which the British Empire exercised power on imperial subjects by investigating the significance of this incident to colonial and postcolonial migration.

India Migration Report 2016 discusses migration to the Persian Gulf region. This volume: • looks at contemporary labour recruitment and policy, both in India and in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries; • explores gender issues in migration to Gulf countries; and • brings together latest field data on migrants across states in India. Part of the prestigious annual series, this volume will interest scholars and researchers of economics, development studies, migration and diaspora studies, labour studies, and sociology. It will also be useful to policymakers and government institutions

India and the Global Game of Gas Pipelines

Indian Immigrant Women and Work

Gulshan Dietl, Retired Professor, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.

The American experience

Gas pipelines constitute an important, yet unexplored, aspect of strategic geography. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India’s need for energy is paramount. Though surrounded by gas-rich regions — Myanmar and Bangladesh to the east, the Gulf to the west and Central Asia to the north — India does not have a single gas pipeline coming in, going out or traversing through its territory to date. This book highlights the global competition over gas pipelines and its implications for India’s energy security in a comprehensive manner.

Ramya M. Vijaya, Stockton University, US and Bidisha Biswas, Western Washington University, US Series: Routledge Studies in Asian Diasporas, Migrations and Mobilities Recently, interest in the numbers of skilled immigrants coming from India to the US has soared. However, this immigration is seen as being overwhelmingly male. This book investigates the work trajectories and related assimilation experiences of independent Indian women who have chosen their own migratory pathways in the US. It explores the links between individual experiences and the macro trends of women, work, immigration and feminism. The authors use historical records, previously unpublished gender disaggregate immigration data, and interviews with Indian women who have migrated to the US to demonstrate that independent migration among Indian women has a long and substantial history.

This book provides a synoptic view of the Indian Ocean and maritime security in its contested waters. The volume highlights the competition between major Asian powers to control the Indian Ocean periphery; shows that cooperation amongst the major regional powers could abate the threat of the potential of conflict becoming global and inviting external intervention; and discusses India’s Look East policy and the deepening relation between India and ASEAN. It argues for the need for Indian Ocean states and particularly SAARC members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association to look afresh at their political and security issues and common interests. It also suggests measures for evolving a robust mechanism of maintaining the Indian Ocean as a sustainable zone of commerce, energy, security and peace rather than threat.

Indian Political Theory

Jaina Law and Society

Laying the Groundwork for Svaraj

Edited by Peter Flügel, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK Series: Routledge Advances in Jaina Studies

Aakash Singh Rathore, Bank details already updated, but on SF 903460 19.8.16 DB This book puts forward a workable contemporary ideal of svaraj that is "thin", i.e. political, and free of metaphysical commitment. The author demonstrates that svaraj has not yet been achieved in Indian political theory. He argues that political theorists of Indian politics continue to work with categories and concepts alien to the lived social and political experiences of India's 'common man', or everyday people. He emphasises the need to decolonize Indian political theory, and rescue it from the grip of western theories, and fascination with western modes of historical analysis.

Indigenous Identity in South Asia

Literature, Gender and the Trauma of Partition

Making Claims in the Colonial Chittagong Hill Tracts

The Paradox of Independence

Tamina M. Chowdhury Series: Routledge Advances in South Asian Studies After the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, an armed struggle ensued in its remote south-eastern corner. The hill people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts demanded official recognition and autonomy as the indigenous people of the Tracts, based on the claim that they were ethnically distinct from the majority ‘Bengali’ population. This book challenges the general perception that indigenous claims coming from the Tracts are a recent phenomenon, which emerged with the founding of the Bangladesh state. By analysing the processes of colonisation in the Chittagong Hill tracts, it is argued that identities of distinct ethnicity and tradition first began to evolve under British patronage in the 1920s.

Localizing Governance in India

Modern Hindu Traditionalism in Contemporary India

Bidyut Chakrabarty, Delhi University, India Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics This book analyses local governance structures in India. It traces historical-intellectual trajectories of participatory governance and how older Western discourses have influenced Indian policymakers. The author demonstrates that participatory governance has a long history in India. While colonial rulers devolved power to accommodate dissenting voices, for independent India, participatory governance was a design for democratizing governance in its true sense. Participation also acted as a vehicle for localizing governance.

The Evolution of the Ramanandi Sampradaya Daniela Bevilacqua, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK Series: Routledge Hindu Studies Series This books provides an in-depth understanding of Modern Hindu Traditionalism through the case study of the Rāmānandī order (sampradāya) and the portrait of the Jagadguru Rāmnareśācārya.This guru belongs to an ancient tradition, and the Rāmānandī order (sampradāya) is active at the present time and the biggest religous order in India. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this book casts light on figures and processes central to the development of Hinduism in the 20th and 21st century and consequently describe the role of religion in contemporary Indian society.

Politics and Governance in Bangladesh

Propaganda and Political Warfare in South Asia

India and Anglo-American Relations during WWII

Edited by Ipshita Basu, University of Surrey, UK, Joe Devine, University of Bath, UK and Geoff Wood, University of Bath, UK Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics

Arnold P. Kaminsky, California State University, Long Beach, USA Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian History

This book explores the central issue of Bangladeshi politics: the weakness of governance.

Regions within Regions

Sam Wong, University of Liverpool, UK Series: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series

India has been witness to the assertion of geographically, culturally and historically constituted, distinct and well-defined, regions that display ethnic, communal, caste and other social–political cleavages. This book examines the changing configurations of state politics in India. Focusing on identity politics and development, it explores the specificities of the regions within states — not merely as politico-administrative constructs but also as conceived in historical, geographic, economic, sociological or cultural terms. Adopting a comparative approach, the book looks at alternative theoretical approaches, the quest for homeland, identity, caste politics and public policy.

Changing Perceptions and Manifestations of Sarasvati

The book examines Sarasvati’s origin, the course of her flow and the place of her disappearance in a holistic manner. Based on a close analysis of texts from the early Rig-Veda to the Brahmanas and the Puranas, it discusses different view-points in a balanced perspective and attempts to drive the discussions towards the emergence of a consensus view. The author delineates the various phases of Sarasvati’s evolution to establish her unique status and emphasise her continued relevance in the Hindu tradition. The book argues that the practice of pilgrimage further evolved after its association with the river Sarasvati who was perceived as divinity personified in Hindu tradition.

Edited by Minoru Mio, National Museum of Ethnology, Japan and Abhijit Dasgupta, University of Delhi, India Series: Routledge New Horizons in South Asian Studies

With a population of 190 million, Pakistan is strategically located at the crossroads of the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and has the second largest Muslim population in the world. The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Pakistan provides an in-depth and comprehensive coverage of issues from identity and the creation of Pakistan to its external relations as well as its domestic social, economic and political issues and challenges.

This book analyses different aspects of social exclusion in contemporary India. Divided into three sections, the book shows that a shift has taken place in the discourse on inclusion and exclusion. Chapters by experts in their fields explore issues of inclusion and exclusion that merit special attention such as dalit identity, ethnicity, territoriality and minorities. Authors raise questions about developmental programmes of the state aimed at making India more inclusive and discuss development projects initiated to alleviate socio-economic conditions of the urban poor in the cities.

Science and Socio-Religious Revolution in India

The Formation of the Colonial State in India

Moving the Mountains

Scribes, Paper and Taxes, 1760-1860

Pankaj Jain, University of North Texas, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Asian Religion and Philosophy

Hayden J. Bellenoit, US Naval Academy, USA Series: Routledge Studies in South Asian History

This book argues that the concept of dharma, the law that supports the regulatory order of the universe in Indian culture, can be applied as an overarching term for HESCO’s socio-economic work. This book presents the social-environmental work in contemporary India by Dr. Anil Joshi in the Himalayas and by Baba Seechewal in Punjab combining the ideas of traditional and scientific ecological knowledge systems. Based on these two examples, the book presents the holistic model transcending the dichotomies of nature vs. culture and science vs. religion, especially as practiced and utilized in the non-Western society such as India.

This book offers a new way of investigating the colonial state’s origins in north India. It examines how the formation of early agrarian revenue settlements exacerbated an extant late Mughal taxation tradition, and how the success of British power was shaped by this extant paper-oriented revenue culture. It goes on to examine how the service and cultural histories of various Hindu pensmen/scribal communities fit within broader changes in political administration, taxation, patterns of governance and a shared Indo-Islamic administrative culture.

Brainerd Prince, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies and Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies; Samvada Centre for Research Resources, New Delhi, India Series: Routledge Hindu Studies Series Sri Aurobindo was an Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi, guru, and poet.

New perspectives

Empowering Rural Communities

Edited by Amit R. Das Gupta and Lorenz M. Lüthi The Sino-Indian Border War of 1962 forms a major landmark in South Asian, Asian and Cold War history. It resulted in an unresolved conflict permanently hindering rapprochement between China and India, the establishment of the Sino-Pakistani axis, the deepening of the Sino-Soviet split and had a lasting impact on Indian domestic affairs. This book draws on new documentary evidence to re-evaluate perceptions, motivations and decision-making processes of both antagonists, but also of third powers immediately affected by the conflict. It also investigates the effect on India’s internal politics, its Constitution, the Communist Party of India and the fate of Indians of Chinese origin.

A History of Human Rights Society in Singapore

Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia

Singapore’s tough stance on human rights, however, does not negate the long and persistent existence of a human rights society that exists almost unknown to the world. The focus of this book is on independent activists and writers, documenting this tradition in Singapore society that has a legacy of defending universal values of individual human rights. It uncovers their discourses, main contentions, campaigns, survival strategies, prominent activists and their untold stories during Singapore’s first 50 years of independence.

Focusing on Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia — the three countries in the region with the most democratic experience — William Case shows that existing accounts based on contextual factors are by themselves incomplete. Hence, they lead us wrongly to anticipate democracy’s persistence in Thailand and its collapse in Indonesia.

ASEAN Reinvented

Feminising Islam in Contemporary Indonesia

From Crisis to Community and Charter

The Role of Progressive Women's Organisations

Edited by Simon Tay Series: Routledge Security in Asia Pacific Series

Nur Hidayah, Banten State Institute for Islamic Studies, Indonesia Series: ASAA Women in Asia Series

This book provides an analysis of ASEAN as a regional organisation and actor in Asian affairs, focusing on developments from the 1997-98 crisis up to the present. It gives special attention to the evolving nature of ASEAN itself, assessing the effectiveness of the 2008 Charter, and discussing the likely impact of the commitment to achieve an integrated ASEAN community in 2015. The book considers a range of issues, both issues to do with ASEAN itself, and policies adopted by ASEAN in specific areas, and is particularly valuable in that it provides a perspective from the point of view of ASEAN "insiders".

This book addresses the question of how progressive Muslim women’s organisations have contributed to the reformation of Islamic law on gender and promoted women’s rights in contemporary Indonesia. It discusses both legal scholarship and thinking, and also activism and the implementation of ideas. The book shows how progressives have both feminised Islam in Indonesia, and adapted it to local Indonesian conditions; and assesses why progressive Islamic feminism has been only partially successful, as conservative Islam remains very strong.

Maszlee Malik, International Islamic University, Malaysia Series: Routledge Studies on Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia Islam can contribute towards the development of societies by establishing a unique model of governance from its explicit ontological worldview through a directed descriptive epistemology. The research on governance in this study does not only focus on the positivistic materialist components such as institutions or mechanisms or growth per se, but it encompasses the value-laden holistic nature of human life in accordance with the Islamic worldview as an important contribution. In doing so, it formulates ‘good governance’ in Islam in relation to the conceptualized ‘ihsani social capital’, which constitutes the main thrust of the constructed model.

Governing Global-City Singapore

Maritime Security and Indonesia

Legacies and Futures After Lee Kuan Yew

Cooperation, Interests and Strategies

Kenneth Paul Tan, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS, Singapore Series: Politics in Asia

Senia Febrica, American Studies Center, Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

This book provides a detailed analysis of how governance in Singapore has evolved since independence to become what it is today, and what its prospects might be in a post-Lee Kuan Yew future. The state struggles, in increasingly complicated conditions, to maintain its hegemony while securing a pre-eminent position in the global economic order. Tan demonstrates how a range of trends converge in ways that signal plausible futures for a post-LKY Singapore.

This book analyses Indonesia’s participation in international maritime security cooperation. Using Indonesia as a case study, the book adopts mixed methods to assess emerging power cooperation and non-cooperation drawing from various International Relations theories and the bureaucratic politics approach. It addresses not only the topic of Indonesia’s cooperation but also engages in debates across the International Relations, political science and policy studies disciplines regarding state cooperation.

Indonesia, Islam, and the International Political Economy

Marriage, Gender and Islam in Indonesia

Clash or Cooperation?

Maria Platt, National University of Singapore Series: ASAA Women in Asia Series

Mark S. Williams, Vancouver Island University, Canada Series: Routledge Studies on Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia This book examines the role of Islamic identity in Indonesia’s foreign economic relations and in its engagement with the world order. There is no single expression of Islam in Indonesia, the politics espoused by Islamic parties and organizations are far from monolithic. Islamic sentiment has been invoked by the state to justify heinous acts of brutality, as well as by violent, subnational revolutionary groups. However, these expressions of Islam have deviated from the dominant narrative, which is in favour of international cooperation and economic development.

Shawna Tang Series: Routledge Research on Gender in Asia Series Taking lesbians in Singapore as a case study, this book explores the possibility of a modern gay identity in a postcolonial society, that is not dependent on Western queer norms. It looks at the core question of how this identity can be reconciled with local culture and how it relates to global modernities and dominant understandings of what it means to be queer. It engages with debates about globalization, post-colonialism and sexuality, while emphasising the specificity, diversity and interconnectedness of local lesbian sexualities.

Retailing in Indonesia

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Philippines

Transnational Retailers and Employment Relations

Edited by Mark R Thompson, City University of Hong Kong and Eric V Batalla, De La Salle University, Philippines

Martin Sirait Series: Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia In recent decades retailing has emerged as one of the driving forces of economic globalisation. At the same time there is growing interest in international labour standards and their implementation. This book, based on extensive original research, compares the employment relations practices of different kinds of companies in Indonesia, contrasting the practices of wholly and partially internationally owned retailers with those of local companies. The book’s important conclusion is that local circumstances and local institutions are key to shaping employment relations, rather than the strategies of multinational corporations. The book will be of great interest to all those studying international retailing, international labour relations and the important Indonesian economy.

Reflecting on the legacies of East Timor’s remarkable journey from colonialism to sovereign and democratic Independence, the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary East Timor provides a comprehensive and up-to –date reference work on the politics, economics, cultural and social life in East Timor.

This book outlines the different types of social contracts which existed in the past that had sexual labour or activity as an inherent component: marriage, temporary marriage, debt bondage and slavery, which were recognised in local law, carried no stigma and endured for long periods. It discusses how labour pledged in return for a loan of cash often included sexual labour, and how even wives of different ranks, and children, were pledged as sureties for loans. The book, which covers the modern states of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, argues that cultural norms are not static, and that sexual contracts are more complicated than simply “marriage” or

Although colonies are often viewed as having been of crucial economic importance to Britain’s empire, those responsible for administering the colonies were often not at all supportive of commercial ventures, as this book demonstrates. Based on extensive original research, and including detailed case studies of the agricultural and mining sectors in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Malaya, the book examines how administrators and capitalists interacted. Overall, the book casts a great deal of light on the detail of how business and government actually worked in Britain’s colonial empire.

Routledge Handbook of Urbanization in Southeast Asia

The Future of US Strategy in Southeast Asia

Edited by Rita Padawangi, National University of Singapore The study of urbanization in Southeast Asia has been a growing field of research over the past decades. The Routledge Handbook of Urbanization in Southeast Asia opens a new perspective on urban life in the region. It offers a collection of the major streams and themes in the studies of the cities in the region. A focus on the urbanization process rather than the city as an object opens the topic more broadly to bring together different perspectives. This timely handbook presents these diverse views to build a clearer understanding of theoretical contributions of urban studies in Southeast Asia and to provide a complete collection of scholarly works that are thematically structured and a useful tool for teaching urbanization in Southeast Asia.

The King and the Making of Modern Thailand

Torture and Peacebuilding in Indonesia

Antonio L. Rappa, SIM University, Singapore Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

Budi Hernawan, University of Indonesia Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

This book examines the role of Rama IX and the variegated set of problems that persist in life under the great white elephant and mango trees. Rappa draws from his primary research that includes interviews, surveys and first-hand observations of a remarkable kingdom and a uniquely remarkable king to reveal the internal security threats to democracy and civil society in the oldest Southeast Asian kingdom in late modernity.

This book analyses state-sponsored torture and peacebuilding in Indonesia. It focuses on the case study of Papua, which provides a thought-provoking example of the intricacy and complexity of building peace amidst enduring conflict and violence. The author establishes a new understanding of torture as ‘public theatre’ as well as proffers a new perspective of strengthening the existing Papuan peacebuilding framework of Papua Land of Peace. The book will be of interest to academics working on Southeast Asian Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Transitional Justice, Peacebuilding, Human Rights and Anthropology of Violence.

Visual Media in Indonesia Video Vanguard Edwin Jurriëns Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

Hegemony, Counter-Hegemony, and Co-Optation of Oppositions Prapimphan Chiengkul, Thammasat University, Thailand Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

This book focuses on the visual media, one of the key factors in shaping the contemporary ecology of colliding environments, in the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia. It deals with creative actors, including literary authors, television producers, video artists and community media activists, who demonstrate, reflect on, criticise and rework the multidimensional impact of the visual media in imaginative and innovative ways. Combining contemporary art and media theory with the detailed analysis of authentic texts and contexts, the author analyses the multidimensional ecological impact of the media in its role as one of the key forces of Integrated World

This book adopts a neo-Marxist and Gramscian approach to studying the political economy of the agricultural and food system in Thailand (1990-2014). The author argues that hegemonic forces have many measures to co-opt dissent into hegemonic structures, and that counter-hegemony should be seen as an ongoing process over a long period of time where predominantly counter-hegemonic forces, constrained by political economic structural conditions, may at times retain some hegemonic elements. Contrary to what some academic studies suggest, this book shows that localist-inspired social movements in Thailand are not insular and anti-globalisation.

This book, through studies of eight feature films, each concerned with a key stage of the Vietnam War, provides extremely valuable insights on the nature of the Vietnam War. It argues that films, like any historical source, are vehicles for understanding history. Each chapter examines a particular film as an aesthetic object, exploring the presentation and interpretation of key themes in the war and discussing how history is made: how historians select and interpret material from a range of sources and how history is not fully comprehensive nor concerned just with accurate portrayal.

A Hierarchy of Influences on Network Newswork in Glocal Spheres Amira Sariyati Binti Firdaus, University of Malaya, Malaysia Series: Routledge Research on Media in Asia

This book analyses the notion of neutrality to the politics of the state in Southeast Asia. Distinguishing among neutrality, neutralism and neutralisation, it asks what relation do the concepts bear to the independence of states, and how do they relate to other forms of inter-state relations and to participation in international organizations.

Drawing upon a recent global-comparative turn in journalism studies and parallel efforts to de-Westernize communication theory, this book suggests an innovative ‘glocal’ comparative approach to analyse network newswork among global, transnational, and local news organizations, including Al Jazeera and Bernama TV, located within the same geographical locality, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This book presents an empirically-grounded conceptual framework for exploring and understanding recent transformations that user-driven networked resources bring to professional journalists’ daily work of producing news.

Although Singapore cinema is a relatively small industry, and relatively new, it has nevertheless made an impact, and continues to develop in interesting ways. The book shows that although Singapore cinema is often seen as part of diasporic Chinese cinema, it is in fact much more than this, with strong connections to Malay cinema and the cinemas of other Southeast Asian nations. Moreover, the themes and subjects covered by Singapore cinema are very wide, ranging from conformity to the regime and Singapore’s national outlook.

Finding Ramayana in Myanmar

Boike Rehbein, Humboldt University, Germany Series: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

Edited by Dawn F. Rooney

This book pursues the theoretical aim of shedding light on the old question raised by Max Weber about the relation between capitalism, (religious) ethos and society. The empirical study consists of a description of the social structures, their embodiment in the habitus and world-views in Laos against the background of a critical revision of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology. To achieve these aims, the author develops a qualitative methodology as neither Weber nor Bourdieu explained how to empirically study habitus and ethos.

State Management of Religion in Malaysia

Transformations in Independent Timor-Leste

Myengkyo Seo, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Korea Series: Routledge Religion in Contemporary Asia Series

Dynamics of Social and Cultural Co-habitations

Religion in Malaysia is a contentious issue, in that although Malaysia is formally a Muslim country, and ethnic Malays have to be Muslims for full citizenship, the non-Muslim population constitutes about half the population. This book explores how the state manages religion in Malaysia. It argues that there is government managed Islamization, which extends into the economic sphere, where Malaysia has developed into a leading world market of Islamic finance. The book also discusses the social dimension of the rapidly expanding Christian church, and concludes that Malaysia is developing a self-contradictory vision of the nation, as both an Islamic and at the same time a secular state.

Edited by Susana de Matos Viegas, University of Lisbon, Portugal and Rui Graça Feijó, University of Coimbra, Portugal Series: Routledge/City University of Hong Kong Southeast Asia Series The book examines the close relations that are established between land, exchange regimes, and political systems in the framework of a reflection on the challenges before present-day Timor-Leste. It puts forward the idea of "co-habitations", which aims at inscribing the mutual influences arising from the existence of distinct social processes not only side by side but in their mutual influences, sometimes resulting from effective clashes.

The Politics of Decentralisation in Cambodia

Vietnam and the South China Sea

Netra Eng, Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI), Cambodia Series: Rethinking Southeast Asia

Politics, Security and Legality

This book argues that decentralisation reform in Cambodia has failed to transform the existing power relations necessary to produce democracy, accountability and improved service delivery. It is the first substantive publication on this topic with a focus on the new district system of Cambodia’s sub-national governance. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of decentralisation, public sector reform, the politics of development, local governance, Political Economy and Southeast Asian studies.

Do Thanh Hai Series: Routledge Security in Asia Pacific Series This book focuses on the attitude of Vietnam towards the South China Sea dispute. It examines the position from a historical perspective, shows how Vietnam’s position is affected by its wish to maintain good relations with China on a range of issues, and outlines how Vietnam has occasionally made overtures to both the United States and Japan in order to bolster its position, and considered the possibility, so far resisted, of taking China to formal arbitration under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The book concludes by assessing the future prospects for Vietnam’s position in the dispute.
