Is liberal democracy a universal ideal? Proponents of 'Asian values' argue that it is a distinctive product of the Western experience and that Western powers shouldn't try to push human rights and democracy onto Asian states. This book attempts to chart a middle ground between the extremes of the international debate on human rights and democracy.
