Governance in Transition Societies brings together a diverse group of scholars from East and Southeast Asia with an interest in political transitions. The edited volume critically examines the nuances of governance and political change in the region. The book will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and students who are concerned with political and developmental trends in East and Southeast Asia. Contributors offer comparative insights that will appeal to a wider audience concerned with emerging patterns of governance and democracy.

What is the future of governance in Asia? This book, by attempting to supply a diversity of answers, will interest political scientists, economists, and journalists.
