It considers how East Asian philosophical ideas enrich the reformulation of the concept of development or societal development, and how influential principles of traditional culture such as yin-yang dialectic interact with modern ideas and technology. It addresses the significance of alternative discourses as culturally independent scholarship, and the problems of pervasive mechanisms of social, political, economic, and cultural dependence in the global academic world. .SociologyEthnologyAsiaCultureEconomic developmentSociologyAsian CultureDevelopment StudiesSociology.EthnologyCulture.Economic development.Sociology.Asian Culture.Development Studies.301Kyong-Dong Kimauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut938207BOOK9910252702403321Alternative Discourses on Modernization and Development2536517UNINA
