AUTHORITARIAN MODERNISM IN EAST ASIA Mark R. Thompson
Security, Development and Human Rights in East Asia Series Editor Brendan Howe Graduate School of International Studies Ewha Womans University Seoul, Korea (Republic of)
This series focuses on the indissoluble links uniting security, development and human rights as the three pillars of the UN, and the foundation of global governance. It takes into account how rising Asia has dramatically impacted the three pillars at the national, international and global levels of governance, but redirects attention, in this most Westphalian of regions, to human-centered considerations. Projects submitted for inclusion in the series should therefore address the nexus or intersection of two or more of the pillars at the level of national or international governance, but with a focus on vulnerable individuals and groups. The series targets postgraduate students, lecturers, researchers and practitioners of development studies, international relations, Asian studies, human rights and international organizations.
