Zusammenfassung: | "Over the last century, many Asian countries have experienced a remarkable transformation, including rapid economic growth, industrialization and urbanization, and spectacular development. One of the world's poorest regions has become its richest. Terming those countries in Asia that have experienced this growth "developmental Asia," Slater and Wong explore the puzzle of why only about half of the region has moved from authoritarianism toward democracy (despite the global correlation between development and democratization) and why we see no clear connection between levels of economic development and levels of democracy (as existing theories of democracy would expect). The authors' central argument is that Asia's most common pathway to democracy has been democracy through strength, with incumbent authoritarian regimes opening themselves up to free and fair electoral competition as a way of shoring up their own power-an argument that contrasts sharply with the conventional notion that dictators only give way under the most extreme, even existential pressures. With a focus specifically on the countries that did democratize, the authors demonstrate through detailed historical case studies that the strength of authoritarian regimes before democratization is reflected in democratic success afterwards. The authors also consider the implications for those states that have failed to democratize, most notably China. The result is a sweeping regional history that offers new insights on when and how democratic transitions happen, and what the future of Asia might look like"-- |
