Description

This text provides an examination of one of the most controversial issues in Asia today - how the region reconciles its homegrown values with the conflicting and often Western values of modernization, globalization, and economic development. In a series of chapters, each devoted to a country, the book explores just what "Asian values" mean to the individual countries. Based on interviews with people from rural peasants to Presidents and Prime Ministers, the chapters seek to take the question of Asian values out of the realm of theory and into everyday life. A series of thematic chapters allow the author to examine what Asian values mean for human rights, political development, regional cooperation, economics, and culture. Intended for both executives and students, the guide seeks to explore the new Asia that has emerged from decades of rapid growth and economic turmoil.
