Asian Arguments

Asian Arguments is a series of short books about Asia today. Aimed at the growing number of students and general readers who want to know more about the region, these books will highlight community involvement from the ground up in issues of the day usually discussed by authors in terms of top-down government policy. The aim is to better understand how ordinary Asian citizens are confronting problems such as the environment, democracy, and their societies’ development, either with or without government support. The books are scholarly but engaging, substantive as well as topical, and written by authors with direct experience of their subject matter.
