A New Era of Civil Society and State in East Asian Democracies (original) (raw)

The paper addresses the dynamic interactions between civil society and the state in East Asian democracies, specifically Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. It highlights how these nations have experienced significant protest movements and social mobilization in response to globalization, economic crises, and political challenges. The study suggests that such movements have led to new forms of engagement and contention within the realm of public governance, emphasizing the need for scholarly attention on this evolving relationship.
