Political Reform and Democratization in East and Southeast Asia, May 2002
Gerhard-Mercator-University, Duisburg, Germany.
Supplied note:
"International Conference 'Discourses on Political Reform and Democratization in East and Southeast Asia
in the Light of New Processes of Regional Community-Building';
May 21 to May 27, 2002.
Beyond the purely economic dimension of the financial and economic crisis in Asia there is
also a political dimension which has generated a discourse on the political reasons for the crisis and thus the
future of political structures and political systems. Albeit that the discussion may take different turns in each
of the countries involved, emerging transnational processes and discussion contexts can still be discerned.
This shall be analyzed in the case of two authoritarian states (China, Vietnam), a multi-ethnic,
formally democratic state with strong authoritarian features (Malaysia), and a democratic state
with significant parochial structures and patterns of behavior (Japan)."
