At that time I was director of an ultrasonics research group and very much in the thick of things regarding external relations and international collaborations, including active participation in the IEEE ultrasonics symposia. There were a lot of advantages: interesting colleagues to converse with, daily access to new results, both from my research group and from the current literature, continual feedback from external groups, and so on. All of this kept me fully abreast of the latest detailed developments in research areas of personal interest in ultrasonics, together with general input on what was going on in related areas. Following that period, I retired from university research to become fully involved in a spinoff company, Microbridge Technologies Inc., which had I co-founded and whose vocation was in developing microelectronic components for sensing devices. This experience gave me access to an industrial viewpoint of MEMS devices and sensor applications, as well as a different perception of the meaning of the word urgent. Today the situation is very different. Following my retirement from Microbridge I have been leading a rural lifestyle far removed from both university research and industrial microelectronics. The detailed contacts are gone, but occasional discussions with ex-colleagues, and the time to reflect on more general things have provided something else, which can be described as a clearer view of the big picture--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aUltrasonic waves 606 $aUltrasonic waves$xIndustrial applications 615 0$aUltrasonic waves. 615 0$aUltrasonic waves$xIndustrial applications. 676 $a534.5/5 686 $aSCI055000$2bisacsh 700 $aCheeke$b J.

How have democracies such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines survived against the odds, despite struggling economic performance and highly unequal distribution of income? How have formerly authoritarian regimes in places like South Korea and Taiwan evolved into stable democracies? The contributors to this volume examine these case studies, along with Mongolia, Malaysia and India, arguing that the common element is the extent to which political parties, including opposition parties, have become institutionalized and act as stabilizers on democracy. They contend that the role of political parties has been significantly underestimated in comparison with structural elements, which are insufficient to explain how these democracies have persisted. An essential resource for students and scholars of Asian politics, especially those with a focus on comparative politics, political parties and institutions."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a320.45 686 $aPOL007000$aPOL009000$2bisacsh 700 $aTeehankee$b Julio C$01356355 701 $aEchle$b Christian$01356356 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910705081903321 996 $aRethinking Parties in Democratizing Asia$93360779 997 $aUNINA
