It considers the nexus between ideas and action in a world where the conventional ?right-left? divide has a decreasing hold on the political imagination. Examining grassroots self-help actions as responses to everyday life problems, it argues that whilst action may be initiated by encounters with ideas that come into the community from outside, often the flow of cause and effect works in the opposite direction. Focusing on countries both politically dynamic and with long-standing historical and cultural connections - China (including Inner Mongolia), Japan, Taiwan and Korea ? this book fills a significant gap in the literature on social movements, demonstrating that survival itself is a political act. 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aCitizenship?Sociological aspects 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aSociology of Citizenship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22290 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aCitizenship?Sociological aspects. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aSociology of Citizenship. 676 $a306.2 702 $aCliff$b Tom$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMorris-Suzuki$b Tessa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWei$b Shuge$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300611103321 996 $aThe Living Politics of Self-Help Movements in East Asia$91991406 997 $aUNINA
