The author elucidates the links between politics and each nation's distinctive cultural and historical contexts and demonstrates the intermingling and grafting of Asian traditions with the influence of Western values and institutions. National identity, political cohesion, and socioeconomic change emerge as central to how politics has developed in each nation-state. Also included are focus boxes on political and social issues in other important countries in Asia. The book provides insight into topics such as the significance of constitutions in the political process; the parliamentary system in Asia; the regionalization of politics and the importance of levels of government; the decay of one-party rule; the links between development and democratization; and the impact of globalization. This essential text not only illuminates the politics of India, China, and Japan in relation to one another, it also suggests to readers how their own experience of politics can be informed by understanding the politics and government of these three Asian nations. In this new edition, the author includes a discussion on the recent political changes in China and the election of Xi Jinping in early 2013, the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, and the recent elections in India. 606 $aPolitical culture$zIndia 606 $aPolitical culture$zChina 606 $aPolitical culture$zJapan 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitical culture 606 $aPolitics and government 607 $aAsia$xPolitics and government$vCase studies 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aPolitical culture. 615 0$aPolitics and government. 676 $a320.3095 686 $aSOC000000$aPOL000000$aPOL009000$2bisacsh 700 $aCharlton$b Sue Ellen M.$0524901 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819323403321 996 $aComparing Asian Politics$93999920 997 $aUNINA
