| Sumario: | This book deals with the intellectual foundation of the sociopolitical, economic and legal systems of developing countries, using a methodological approach. It calls for not only the need to search for a country's cultural identity, but also a need to analyze the prevalent concepts important to a contemporary modern society, such as the respect for an individual, human rights, freedom, equality, democracy and the universal respect for law. Based on the author's lifelong reflection on why some of these deeply treasured Western values and institutions have not been useful in developing democracy in Asia, it examines which values are applicable and which are not to Asian emerging societies. China's historical and contemporary attempts in modernization and development are used as examples throughout the book. As a valuable resource for decision-makers of developing countries, this book will help to shed some light on what to look for in a cultural identity and what to subscribe to among the values circulating in our globalized world. |
