Detailed analysis and extensive case studies featured throughout this edited volume unveil democracies in the process of being consolidated, such as Taiwan and South Korea; precarious democracies, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; states that are experiencing setbacks and a retreat from democracy, such as Thailand and Myanmar; and finally, states that are still resisting democracy, including China. Key findings articulate that Asian democracies do not follow existing models or patterns - such as that of Western democracy - but are instead lively, emergent works in progress. Environments in which democracy is practiced in Asia reflect local people's pluralistic imagination of democracy, hence a comparative thematic approach is adopted.
