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. .SociologyEthnology—AsiaEconomic developmentSocial changeSociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Asian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Development and Social Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913030Sociology.Ethnology—Asia.Economic development.Social change.Sociology, general.Asian Culture.Development and Social Change.301Kyong-Dong Kimauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut938207BOOK9910252702403321Alternative Discourses on Modernization and Development2536517UNINA
