Stateness and Democracy in East Asia, Paperback/***

Through theoretically-grounded case studies and comparative analysis of consolidating, low quality, and failed democracies in East Asia, this volume challenges the dominant 'state first, democracy later' argument in the existing political science literature. It will interest scholars and students of comparative democratization, state building, and East Asian politics.
