| Zusammenfassung: | Much literature on non-Western traditions celebrates the renaissance of indigenous cultures. Others have been more critical of this renaissance, especially with respect to its political implications. This study analyses the assertion of 'tradition' by indigenous elites, looking especially at the way it is used to differentiate 'the West' from the 'non-West'. This is important to contemporary discussion about the validity of democracy outside the West and problems concerning universalism and relativism. The discussion of Fiji focuses on constitutional development and the traditionalist emphasis on chiefly legitimacy. The rise of the Pro-Democracy Movement in Tonga is considered against the background of a conservative political order that has so far resisted pressure for reform. The move to universal suffrage in Western Samoa is seen not as a rejection of traditional ways in favour of democratic norms, but as a means of preserving important aspects of traditional culture |

Others have been more critical of this renaissance, especially with respect to its political implications. This study analyses the assertion of 'tradition' by indigenous elites, looking especially at the way it is used to differentiate 'the West' from the 'non-West'. This is important to contemporary discussion about the validity of democracy outside the West and problems concerning universalism and relativism. The discussion of Fiji focuses on constitutional development and the traditionalist emphasis on chiefly legitimacy. The rise of the Pro-Democracy Movement in Tonga is considered against the background of a conservative political order that has so far resisted pressure for reform. The move to universal suffrage in Western Samoa is seen not as a rejection of traditional ways in favour of democratic norms, but as a means of preserving important aspects of traditional culture Politik Democracy / Oceania / Case studies Tradition (DE-588)4060560-7 gnd rswk-swf Demokratisierung (DE-588)4124941-0 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 gnd rswk-swf Fiji / Politics and government Tonga / Politics and government Samoa / Politics and government Tonga (DE-588)4060396-9 gnd rswk-swf Fidschi (DE-588)4017063-9 gnd rswk-swf Westsamoa (DE-588)4079249-3 gnd rswk-swf Ozeanien (DE-588)4044257-3 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4522595-3 Fallstudiensammlung gnd-content Ozeanien (DE-588)4044257-3 g Tradition (DE-588)4060560-7 s Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 s 1\p DE-604 Fidschi (DE-588)4017063-9 g Tonga (DE-588)4060396-9 g Westsamoa (DE-588)4079249-3 g Demokratisierung (DE-588)4124941-0 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-06281-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-49638-4 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511470165 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
