The subject of human rights in Asia is a hotly debated one. In The Politics of Human Rights in East Asia, the authors survey the human rights records and attitudes of each country. The countries covered are: China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. Kenneth Christie covers Southeast Asia and Denny Roy covers Northeast Asia. They conclude with a discussion of the Association of East Asian Nation's (ASEAN) role and suggestions for the future. Throughout, they examine the competing meaning of human rights in the Western versus the non-Western context and place the role of human rights within the framework of each country's history and political and economic development. 606 $aHuman rights$zEast Asia 606 $aHuman rights$zSoutheast Asia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a323/.095 700 $aChristie$b Kenneth$0662397 701 $aRoy$b Denny$f1960-$0283435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454794003321 996 $aThe politics of human rights in East Asia$92098417 997 $aUNINA
