Beyond Liberal Democracy

Viac o knihe

The book explores the suitability of liberal democracy in East Asia, arguing for alternative models that align more closely with the region's unique cultural and social values. Daniel Bell critiques the conventional hallmarks of liberal democracy—human rights, democracy, and capitalism—highlighting how these have been adapted in East Asian contexts. He warns against the risks of imposing Western frameworks and suggests that morally legitimate alternatives could better serve the region's needs, fostering a more nuanced understanding of governance.
