About the author

William Case is Professor in the Department of Asian and International Studies, City University of Hong Kong. His research interests are populism and political regimes in Southeast Asia, electoralism and the single-party dominance in Malaysia. His latest publication is the Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian Democratization (2015) (ed).

Summary

This book offers a new explanation for democracy’s collapse or persistence in Southeast Asia today. Focusing on Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia — the three countries in the region with the most democratic experience — William Case shows that existing accounts based on contextual factors are by themselves incomplete.
