- Summary:
- State Making in Asia examines state making projects from a uniquely Asian perspective, highlighting the particular combination of institutions and ideologies embedded in Asian state making and demonstrating their distinctiveness from the Western experience. It underlines the variety and hybridism of Asian forms of the state and emphasizes the need to incorporate Asian patterns of historical change in our theorization about modern state making. Drawing on this alternative analytical framework, the book provides a comprehensive comparison of East Asia nations that accounts for their development outside of the Eurocentric viewpoint. State Making in Asia offers new empirical and conceptual material based on original research within the field. Including contributions from leading authorities in state theory and Asian history, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars of Asian politics and international relations.
