| book description |

This book explores civil societies with distinct characteristics in Asian countries and regions to redefine the dynamic and interconnected formation that is Asia. This book documents how Asian civil society organizations, which have traditionally been observed to imitate or borrow the methods employed by Western nongovernmental organizations, have been developing distinctive relations with the state, inventing novel civic techniques. Furthermore, it highlights how such organizations have created a characteristic framework for governance and spaces for new social practices and reflections. Reflecting differing historical backgrounds, political systems, and cultural settings, each case study reveals diverse and alternative approaches and solutions to various issues facing contemporary Asian society. Reflecting the dynamism of Asia and highlighting the emergence of new civil society practices, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Asian Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science.
